Patent number: 9086213Abstract: A light emitting device is produced using a plurality of light emitting diodes within a light mixing cavity formed by surrounding sidewalls. The sidewalls may be integrally formed as part of a surrounding heat sink or alternatively may be an insert into a cavity within a heat sink. The reflective sidewalls may be coated with a diffusing material and/or covered with one or more phosphors. Multiple phosphors are located at different locations of the cavity, e.g., on the sidewalls, a window covering the output port, or on a reflector attached to the bottom of the cavity. The light emitting diodes may be positioned rotationally symmetrically around the optical axis on a board.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2008Date of Patent: July 21, 2015Assignee: Xicato, Inc.Inventors: Gerard Harbers, Mark A. Pugh, Menne T. de Roos, John S. Yriberri, Peter K. Tseng

Patent number: 8317359Abstract: A light emitting device is produced using one or more light emitting diodes within a light mixing cavity formed by surrounding sidewalls. The light emitting device includes a light adjustment member that is movable to alter the shape or color of the light produced by the light emitting device. For example, the light adjustment member may alter the exposure of the wavelength converting area to the light emitted that is emitted by the light emitting diode in the light mixing cavity. Alternatively, the height of a lens may be adjusted to change the width of the beam produced. Alternatively, a movable substrate with areas of different wavelength converting materials may adjustably cover the output port of the light mixing cavity to alter the color point of the light produced.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2011Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Xicato, Inc.Inventors: Gerard Harbers, Mark A. Pugh, Menne T. de Roos, John S. Yriberri, Peter K. Tseng

Patent number: 8297766Abstract: A lighting module includes a light output window, at least one side wall that defines a cavity and a mounting plate, and at least one light source, and at least one reflector that is within the cavity. The light output window may be one of the side walls in a side-emitting configuration. The spectral distribution of the light coming out of the light output window may be changed by manipulating the relative position of the side wall to the at least one reflector that is within the cavity.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2011Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignee: Xicato, Inc.Inventors: Gerard Harbers, Mark A Pugh, Menne T de Roos, Peter K.
