  • Patent number: 9169997
    Abstract: There is provided an arrangement for spot illumination (14). The arrangement provides an improved collimation and color mixing unit comprising a LED array (1), a convex shaped reflector (15a), a field lens (21) and an additional cylindrical reflector (15b) at the exit aperture of the system. In combination with an optical projection system which may comprise at least two additional zoom lenses and a gate (in which several maskers, gobos or shutters could be inserted) the system allows color mixing in an extended operational range including out of focus zoom settings often used to get soft edge spots.

  • Patent number: 8338846
    Abstract: A method for the manufacture of a wavelength converted light emitting device is provided. A light curable coating material is arranged on the outer surface of a wavelength converted light emitting diode. The light curable coating material is cured, in positions where a high intensity of unconverted LED-light encounters the curable coating material. The method can be used to selectively stop unconverted light from exiting the device, leading to a wavelength converted LED essentially only emitting converted light.

  • Publication number: 20120087116
    Abstract: An illumination system (10) for spot illumination comprising a tubular reflector (2) with a reflective inner surface, the tubular reflector (2) having an entrance aperture (7) and an exit aperture (8) being larger than the entrance aperture (7); and a light-source array (1) comprising a plurality of light-sources (13a-c; 30a-d, 31a-d, 32a-d) arranged to emit light into the tubular reflector (2) at the entrance aperture (7) thereof. At least one of the tubular reflector (2) and the light-source array (1) is configured in such a way that each symmetry state of the light-source array (1) is different from any symmetry state of the tubular reflector (2). By avoiding coinciding symmetry states, the occurrence of preferred directions of the emitted light can be reduced, whereby the spatial homogeneity with respect to intensity and, where applicable, color of the emitted light can be improved.

  • Publication number: 20110095328
    Abstract: A method for the manufacture of a light emitting device is provided. The method comprises the steps of: providing a substrate (102) on which at least one light emitting diode (101) is arranged and; arranging a collimator (103), at least partly laterally surrounding said at least one light emitting diode, by bonding said collimator to said at least one light emitting diode and said substrate using a transmissive bonding material (104). By using the inventive method, the collimator can be arranged after the placement of the LED, which facilitates the placement of the LED.
