  • Publication number: 20120201034
    Abstract: A wide-range reflective structure comprises a reflective case, a heat-sink metal frame, a heat conductive plate, and one control member for directing light beams. The heat conductive plate defines a recess for holding the heat-sink metal frame. The reflective case has a first inner curved reflective surface, a second inner curved reflective surface, a third inner curved reflective surface, and a fourth inner curved reflective surface. The reflective case is attached to the heat conductive plate, enclosing the heat-sink metal frame. The control member has two concave reflective surfaces. The first inner curved reflective surface has an inclination angle greater than the second inner curved reflective surface. The third inner curved surface has an inclination angle approximately equal to the fourth inner curved surface. As such, the inner curved reflective surfaces can cooperate with the control member to direct light beams from LEDs to a target more extensively and uniformly.

  • Patent number: 8142056
    Abstract: A high efficiency refraction body includes a light source chamber and a main refraction surface opposite to the light source chamber. A first refraction surface and a second refraction surface for refracting the lights are formed to a peripheral of the high efficiency refraction body. A light source is received to the light source chamber. Lights from the light source will be total reflected because the incident angles of the lights exceed a critical angle of the main refraction surface. The reflected lights will be refracted through the first refraction surface and the second refraction surface so as to pass a lateral of the refraction body. A uniform lateral illumination of the refraction body will correct the poor lateral illumination of LED light devices.
