Abstract: An optic panel, an LED lighting system including the optic panel, and a luminaire including the LED lighting system are described. The optic panel includes an optic disposed within a cut out of a base plate, and one or more supports fixedly couple the optic with the base plate. Each support preferably touches the optic at only a single location. In some aspects, the supports provide sufficient support to the optic such that the entire optic panel can be molded as a single, monolithic mass and the supports do not or only minimally interfere with the desired total internal reflection of the optics because of the minimal engagement with the supports and/or the placement of the engagement with the supports. The optic panel may be incorporated into the LED lighting system, for example, forming a secondary optics for the LED lighting system.

Abstract: A lens for distributing light from a light emitter in a desired asymmetric illumination profile includes a lens body having an input side and an output side. The input side receives light from an emitter, and the output side includes primary refractive surface, total internal reflection surfaces, and a secondary refractive surface associated with the total internal refection surfaces. A primary emission axis associated with the emitter is defined through the lens body, and a transverse reference plane is positioned parallel to the primary emission axis. A desired illumination region is located on a first side of the reference plane, and a desired dark region is located on a second side of the reference plane. The primary refractive surface, the total internal reflection surfaces and the secondary refractive surface direct a substantial portion of the light from the emitter to the desired illumination region.

Abstract: A narrow-beam optic and a lighting system using the optic are disclosed. Embodiments of the present invention provide an optical element, or “optic” that can enable a lighting system to achieve beam control. The optic collects light from substantially all angles of an LED's light output and collimates the light into a narrow beam angle. In example embodiments, the optic includes an entry surface, an exit surface, and a concentrator lens opposite the entry surface and recessed relative to the exit surface. In example embodiments, a mounting feature or spacer adjacent to the entry surface spaces the entry surface and concentrator lens from an LED. An outer surface serves to provide total internal reflection (TIR) and is disposed between the exit surface and the mounting feature.
