Abstract: A light emitting assembly comprising a solid state device, when and if coupleable with a power supply constructed and arranged to power the solid state device to emit from the solid state device a first wavelength radiation (i.e., primary radiation), and a set of nesting enclosures enhancing the luminescence of the solid-state device and providing a mechanism for arranging luminophoric medium in receiving relationship to said first radiation, and which in exposure to said first radiation, is excited to responsively emit a second wavelength radiation (i.e., secondary radiation) or to otherwise transfer its energy without radiation to a third radiative component (i.e., tertiary radiation). In a specific embodiment, monochromatic blue or UV light output from a light-emitting diode is converted to achromatic light with fluorescers and phosphors under an inert gas. In a specific embodiment, heat is dissipated to the external surroundings without employing a heat sink.

Abstract: A light emitting assembly comprising at least one of each of a solid state device and a thermal radiation source, couplable with a power supply constructed and arranged to power the solid state device and the thermal radiation source, to emit from the solid state device a first, relatively shorter wavelength radiation, and to emit from the thermal radiation source non-visible infrared radiation, and a down-converting luminophoric medium arranged in receiving relationship to said first, relatively shorter wavelength radiation, and the infrared radiation, and which in exposure to said first, relatively shorter wavelength radiation, and infrared radiation, is excited to responsively emit second, relatively longer wavelength radiation. In a specific embodiment, monochromatic blue light output from a light-emitting diode is down-converted to white light by packaging the diode and the thermal radiation device with fluorescent or phosphorescent organic and/or inorganic fluorescers and phosphors in an enclosure.
