  • Patent number: 7055996
    Abstract: A lamp comprising a housing, at least one planar substrate supporting a plurality of light sources, and a light directing member comprising a plurality of reflective surfaces. Each of the reflective surfaces is generally parabolic and reflects light emitted from the plurality of light sources. A lamp comprising a housing, at least one planar substrate, a plurality of light sources supported by each planar substrate, a lens, and a light directing member that reflects light emitted from the plurality of light sources. The light directing member produces a light distribution pattern spanning substantially five degrees to substantially ninety degrees in one direction along the longitudinal axis of said lamp.

  • Publication number: 20050201098
    Abstract: A vehicle lamp assembly comprised of: a heat sink with at least one flange extending beyond the lamp assembly; a circuit board functionally engaging the inner surface of the heat sink and having a power supply circuitry; at least one light emitting unit electrically connected to the heat sink; a potting compound substantially imbedding the circuit board and corresponding electrical connections; and a lens operatively attached to the heat sink. In one embodiment, the light emitting unit is an LED. In alternate embodiments, the lamp assembly can include fins and/or fans to further facilitate cooling of the assembly, and/or a reflective inner surface of the heat sink to increase the lamp assembly's luminous output.
