  • Patent number: 11022255
    Abstract: A light fixture includes a printed circuit board received in a housing. At least one light-emitting diode is mounted on a first region of the printed circuit board and an electronic driver is mounted on a second region of the printed circuit board. The first region is connected to the second region by a deformation zone of the printed circuit board formed in one-piece with the first region and the second region. The first region and the second region are electrically contacted with one another through the deformation zone.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20150377472
    Abstract: Provided is an overmolded replaceable, light emitting diode (LED) lamp that includes a light engine having an LED chip mounted thereon and configured to generate and emit light, driver electronics in communication with the light engine, and configured to supply energy to the light engine for generating the light, and one or more connecting portions disposed within a base surface of the LED lamp configured to connect the LED lamp to a connection receiving portion of an external light device for operation thereof. The light engine, the driver electronics and the one or more connecting portions are overmolded by an overmolding material comprising a thermally conductive polymer material which forms a structural component of the LED lamp, and mechanically and electrically connects the light engine, the driver electronics and the one or more connecting portions together.

  • Patent number: 8858019
    Abstract: Provided is a system for replacing a fluorescent lamp with a light emitting diode (LED) into a conventional fluorescent lighting fixture without modifications. The lighting assembly includes an LED unit having a first end and a second end. The lighting assembly also includes a safety locking device positioned on at least one of the first end and the second end of the LED unit and coupled to a lighting fixture. The safety locking device comprises a safety switch defining an unarmed state and an armed state. To prevent a risk of shock, the safety switch is changed from the unarmed state to the armed state upon manual activation of the safety switch after the LED unit is moved into a locked position. The armed state enables an electrical communication between the two ends of the LED unit to activate the LED unit.
