  • Scavengers for reducing contaminants in liquid-filled LED bulbs
    Patent number: 8853922
    Abstract: A liquid-cooled light emitting diode (LED) bulb which includes a base, a shell connected to the base forming an enclosed volume, and a plurality of LEDs attached to the base and disposed within the shell. The LED bulb also includes a volume of thermally-conductive liquid held within the enclosed volume. A scavenger element comprising a scavenger material is attached to the base and is exposed to the thermally-conductive liquid. The scavenger material is configured to capture contaminants in the thermally-conductive liquid.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 10, 2013
    Date of Patent: October 7, 2014
    Assignee: Switch Bulb Company, Inc.
