  • Patent number: 9184518
    Abstract: An LED-based light configured for replacing a conventional fluorescent light in a fluorescent light fixture comprises: an LED circuit board including at least one LED; a power supply circuit board configured to supply power to the at least one LED; an end cap carrying at least one pin configured for connection to the fixture; a pin connector header including a first body retentively supporting at least one pin connecting lead and configured to engage the power supply circuit board such that the pin connecting lead is positioned to electrically connect the power supply circuit board and the pin; and a circuit connector header including a second body retentively supporting at least one circuit connecting lead and configured to engage the power supply circuit board such that the circuit connecting lead is positioned to electrically connect the power supply circuit board and the LED circuit board.

  • Patent number: 9163794
    Abstract: An LED-based light for replacing a fluorescent light in a light fixture comprises: an elongate housing, the housing having a first longitudinal portion with a first cross section and a second longitudinal portion adjoining the first longitudinal portion with a second cross section, wherein a shape of the first cross section is different from a shape of the second cross section, such that the housing includes at least one geometric asymmetry; at least one LED arranged in the housing; and a connector at and end of the housing configured for connection to a light fixture.

  • Publication number: 20100220469
    Abstract: A LED-based replacement light for a fluorescent socket is constructed such that a tubular housing has a D-shaped cross section with a flat base with opposing longitudinal edges, opposing sides extending generally perpendicular to the flat base from the opposing longitudinal edges, and a curved surface spanning the opposing sides opposite the flat base. A circuit board structure defines a LED-mounting side with multiple LEDs mounted on the LED-mounting side at predetermined intervals along a length of the circuit board, with at least areas of a primary heat transferring side directly underlying the respective LEDs in thermally conductive relation with the tubular housing for highly electrically insulated thermal transmission of heat generated by the multiple LEDs from the circuit board to an ambient environment surrounding an exterior of the tubular housing. At least one electrical connector is at a longitudinal end of the housing in electrical communication with the circuit board.
