Patent number: 8013538Abstract: A lighting arrangement includes a light fixture including a plurality of light sources wherein each light source is configured to generate a different color light when energized; and a circuit arrangement included in the light fixture and operatively interposed between the plurality of light sources and a source of electrical power. This circuit arrangement is responsive to brief interruptions in the supply of electrical power of less than a predetermined period to simultaneously de-energize all of the light sources for a full duration of the interruption and to subsequently toggle energization from one light source to the next and thereby produce different color light in response to the cessation of the brief interruption.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2007Date of Patent: September 6, 2011Assignee: Integrated Illumination Systems, Inc.Inventors: Thomas L.

Publication number: 20050083698Abstract: The present invention is designed to overcome the problems with MCPCB technology, which includes conductive solid body, typically copper or aluminum, typically having rods extending therefrom. This conductive solid body is fastened in place by a body constructed of typically plastic/Delrin® that the copper rods may be pressed or installed into. This body may be conductive or non-conductive. Each LED is mounted to a standard printed circuit board (PCB) or flexible circuit board that contains through holes large enough to fit the metal bottom of the LED through the hole far enough for the LED to make contact with the face of the solid body. Typically, board thickness of 0.032? or less is required for this to work effectively. The LED is glued to the face solid body via a thermally conductive, electrically neutral adhesive. The LED may also be adhered via thermal tape, thermal pad, or held against the solid body via its solder joints where no bonding of the LED is required.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2004Publication date: April 21, 2005Applicant: Integrated Illumination Systems Inc.Inventors: Thomas Zampini, Thomas Zampini, Mark Zampini
