  • Patent number: 11441747
    Abstract: The present invention relates to different embodiments of lighting fixtures, such as high bay lighting fixtures, comprising one or more improved features. Some of these features include the direct mounting of emitters on a heat sink and/or the use of a template-like board for providing an electrical connection between emitters. These features can improve heat dissipation from the emitters and simplify fabrication. In other embodiments, expensive lens optics of prior art SSL fixtures can be replaced with a flat lens and reflector in order to produce a fixture having a satisfactory spacing criterion.

  • Patent number: 10527273
    Abstract: The present invention relates to different embodiments of lighting fixtures, such as high bay lighting fixtures, comprising improved features. One of these features can be a driver box placement that is displaced from the center of the fixture. In one such embodiment, the driver box can be mounted such that no portion is over the emitters. Another improved features is a heat sink with branching spokes. As they move away from the center of the heat sink, each of the spokes can branch into multiple spokes, which can improve conductive thermal dissipation. Empty spaces can be left between the spokes to improve convective thermal dissipation.

  • Patent number: 10436432
    Abstract: Aluminum high bay lighting fixtures a primary housing; at least one secondary housing partially surrounding a primary housing; a plurality of light emitting elements in thermal contact with the primary housing; a heat spreader plate in thermal contact with the light emitting elements and the primary and secondary housings. At least one of the primary and secondary housings include openings to help dissipate heat from the light source and/or allow at least some of the light from the light emitting elements to be outputted in a direction opposite the main light emitting direction. The shortest distance from a distal end of the primary housing to the light sources is greater than the shortest distance from a distal end of the secondary housing to the light sources.

  • Patent number: 9006986
    Abstract: Semiconductor light emitting devices are provided that include a first string of light emitting diodes (“LED”) that emit unsaturated light having a color point that is within at least eight MacAdam ellipses of one or more points within a first blue-shifted-yellow region on the 1931 CIE Chromaticity Diagram, a second string of LEDs that emit unsaturated light having color point that is within at least eight MacAdam ellipses from one or more points within a second blue-shifted-green region on the 1931 CIE Chromaticity Diagram, and a third light source that emits radiation having a dominant wavelength between 600 and 720 nm. A drive circuit is provided that is configured to supply a first drive current to the first string of LEDs, a second drive current to the second string of LEDs and a third drive current to the third string of LEDs, wherein at least two of the first, second and third drive currents are independently controllable.

  • Publication number: 20140268745
    Abstract: The present invention relates to different embodiments of high bay lighting fixtures comprising many improved features, such as the ability to dissipate heat from a light source in a non-traditional manner. One such example is the elimination of a traditional heat sink by placing housings and/or a heat spreader plate in thermal contact with the light emitting elements. By doing so, the housings and/or heat spreader plate can dissipate heat from the light emitting elements and spread it throughout the lighting fixture. Different embodiments also help dissipate heat from the light source by spreading out the light emitting elements. Other embodiments improve heat dissipation by using air slots, so that heat can more easily escape from the lighting fixture. Still another example of dissipating heat from the light source can be to use heat fins.
