  • Integrated louvres for beam control in an LED lighting device
    Patent number: 11408592
    Abstract: An optical structure for controlling distribution of light generated by a light source is described. The optical structure includes a primary optics disposed relative to the light source and configured to reflect light generated by the light source towards a target region. The optical structure also includes a secondary optics disposed and aligned relative to the primary optics. The secondary optics is configured to at least partially block light generated by the light source from illuminating a region outside the target region.
    Type: Grant

  • Two stage optic for LED devices
    Patent number: 11112089
    Abstract: A lighting module is disclosed. The lighting module includes a light emitting diode (LED) light source, and a total internal reflection (TIR) optical assembly. The optical assembly includes a refractor configured to be located proximate to the LED light source, and a reflector configured to be attached to the refractor. The refractor is made from a material that is resistant to thermal damage when exposed to heat generated by the LED light source.
