  • Publication number: 20110255276
    Abstract: A light assembly including a multi-faceted, LED light array. The LED light array consists of a light support, which is provided with a center strip segment, a first outer inclined segment, and a second outer inclined segment. Each of these three segments supports a strip, or row of LEDs. The LEDs are arranged in a linear row so that the light from each of the rows are in the same horizontal plane. Power wires are connected to each strip at one or more ends of the assembly to supply electrical power to the LEDs for illumination. The two outer strip segments are each arranged to be angled toward the center strip segment. Together the three segments create an LED Lamp Array.
