  • Patent number: 11555582
    Abstract: A system and method of assembling a light engine includes determining a desired light output profile for the light engine, selecting a reflector based on the desired light output profile, and selecting one of a first light board and a second light board. The first light board includes a different number of light emitting diodes than the second light board. Each of the first light board and the second light board are capable of providing the desired output light profile when they are coupled with the selected reflector. The method also includes positioning the one of the first light board and the second light board within the housing, adjacent the reflector.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20190145605
    Abstract: In one aspect, an optical lens assembly (herein referred to also as an optic) is provided that comprises a plurality of lenses (or lens segments) adapted to receive light from a light source, each of said lenses (or lens segments) having an input surface and an output surface and a lateral surface extending between the input and output surfaces. The lenses are arranged relative to one another and positioned relative to the light source such that each of the lenses receives at its input surface a different portion of light emitted by the source, e.g., each lens receives at its input surface light emitted by the source into an angular subtense (solid angle) different than an angular subtense associated with another lens. Each lens (or lens segment) guides at least a portion of the received light to its output surface via reflection, e.g., via total internal reflection (TIR).
