  • Patent number: 10018310
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a LED lamp unit (10) comprising at least two LED light sources (2) arranged between a heat sink (3) and an electrical connector base at two opposing sides of the lamp unit (10) to emit in opposed half spaces. The proposed LED lamp unit can be constructed in a very compact form in order to replace known halogen, xenon and incandescent bulbs without changing the construction of the reflector and mechanical parts in a head lamp or signaling lamp.

  • Patent number: 8465183
    Abstract: A lighting device (1) comprising an LED-unit (5), a collimator (2) and a housing (3), the LED-unit (5) is rigidly coupled to the collimator (2) only, so that no substantial forces can be applied to the LED-unit (5). A non-rigid heat transferring medium (10) is provided in a cavity (12) in the housing (3), to dissipate heat, generated by the LED-unit (5). The LED-unit (5) is therefore at least partly contained in the heat transferring medium (10).

  • Publication number: 20090073710
    Abstract: An illumination system has a plurality of light-emitting diodes (R, G, B), at least one light-collimating section (12,12?) arranged along a longitudinal axis (25) of the illumination system. The light-collimating sections merges into a light-mixing section (3) having a plurality of side-faces along the longitudinal axis (25). Light propagation in the light-mixing section is based on total internal reflection. The light-mixing section is provided with a light-exit window (13) emitting light towards an imaginary projection surface normal to the longitudinal axis.
