  • Patent number: 11563286
    Abstract: A lighting device contains a first circuit board and a second circuit board. The first circuit board has one or more connecting sections having overall at least two contact areas. The second circuit board has an opening through which the connecting section of the first circuit board can extend. At least two contact elements, which are electrically connected to conductive tracks of the second circuit board, are arranged on the second circuit board. Each contact element has a contact region by which the contact element butts against one of the contact areas of the first circuit board. As a result, an electrical connection is produced between the two circuit boards.

  • Patent number: 10495266
    Abstract: A semiconductor lamp includes a housing with a cavity to accommodate a light source, preferably an LED, and a driver for the light source. The housing has at least one injection channel for injection of an encapsulation material into the cavity of the housing. A semiconductor lamp is produced by providing a housing with a cavity and inserting a driver and a light source into the cavity. Following the insertion of the driver and the light source into the cavity, an encapsulation material is introduced into at least a part of the cavity through at least one injection channel of the housing.

  • Patent number: 10480725
    Abstract: A light fixture has a housing having a depression in which at least one light-emitting diode is received. The light-emitting diode is mounted on a mounting surface and in operation of the light fixture emits light with an initial emission angle of more than 80°. A lens is arranged downstream of the light-emitting diode, having a central focus area and an outer area radially surrounding the focus area. The central focus area is configured and/or arranged in such a way that a part of the light propagating through the focus area is focused in such a way that a final emission angle of the light propagated through the focus area is at least 50° and at most 80°. The outer area of the lens is spaced at least 2 mm from the mounting surface in a vertical direction.
