Publication number: 20230284389Abstract: Embodiments are directed to optics, light modules with such optics, and methods of assembling such light modules such that the optics are attached and sealed directly to a printed circuit board, thereby eliminating the need for gaskets and a frame and reducing the number of component parts of the light module. In some embodiments, the optics are discrete optics that can each be attached to the printed circuit board independent of the other optics.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Inventors: John Bryan Harvey, Graig Eugene Marquartdt, John E.

Publication number: 20230219311Abstract: Silicone-containing light fixture optics. A method for manufacturing an optical component may include mixing two precursors of silicone, opening a first gate of an optic forming device, moving the silicone mixture from the extrusion machine into the optic forming device, cooling the silicone mixture as it enters the optic forming device, filling a mold within the optic forming device with the silicone mixture, closing the first gate, and heating the silicone mixture in the mold to at least partially cure the silicone. Alternatively, a method for manufacturing an optical component may include depositing a layer of heat cured silicone optical material to an optical structure, arranging one or more at least partially cured silicone optics on the layer of heat cured silicone optical material, and heating the heat cured silicone optical material to permanently adhere the one or more at least partially cured silicone optics to the optical structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2022Publication date: July 13, 2023Inventors: Craig Eugene Marquardt, Forrest Starnes McCanless, Jie Chen, John Bryan Harvey, Yinan Wu, Daniel Aaron Weiss

Patent number: 10571095Abstract: Optics for asymmetrically redirecting light from one or more light engines include a dome optic, and first and second reflecting surfaces. The dome optic refracts light emitted by the light engines. The first reflecting surface redirects at least a portion of the light that is initially emitted toward a backward horizontal direction, toward the forward horizontal direction. The first reflecting surface extends substantially vertically and along a transverse horizontal direction, proximate to and behind the dome optic, and has a height greater than or equal to a height of the dome optic. The second reflecting surface reflects downwardly at least a portion of the refracted light that is initially emitted in the forward horizontal direction. The second reflecting surface is proximate to the dome optic and forward of the dome optic, and forms an angle of 45 degrees or more with respect to vertical.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2019Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: ABL IP Holding LLCInventors: Jie Chen, Yinan Wu, John Bryan Harvey, Craig Eugene Marquardt, Charles H.

Patent number: 9903561Abstract: A luminaire provides an asymmetric light distribution biased toward a forward horizontal direction. The luminaire includes a luminaire housing, light engines, dome optics, and first and second reflecting surfaces. The light engines emit light downwardly, and are in a row substantially orthogonal to the forward direction. Each of the dome optics is substantially similar, and refracts the light emitted by at least one of the light engines. The first reflecting surface reflects at least a first portion of the refracted light toward the forward direction, is proximate and behind each of the dome optics, forms an approximately vertical angle, and has a height greater than or equal to a height of the dome optics. The second reflecting surface is forward of the dome optics, forms an angle of 45 degrees or more with respect to vertical, and reflects downwardly at least a second portion of the refracted light.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2016Date of Patent: February 27, 2018Assignee: ABL IP Holding LLCInventors: Jie Chen, Yinan Wu, John Bryan Harvey, Craig Eugene Marquardt, Charles H.
