  • Patent number: 8104929
    Abstract: An outdoor lighting fixture using LEDs as a light source has a decorative housing that includes a cast metal dome roof and one or more LED light engines, wherein the light engines conductive metal substrate is in conformal contact with a portion of the inner surface of the roof, such that the roof provides increased heat sink mass and the outer surface of the roof provides a heat dissipative surface area outside of the housing. Preferred embodiments include a street light wherein two LED light engines are mounted at about 20 and 160 degrees to a line parallel to the street segment to produce an asymmetric light profile that reaches over and along the street for an effective distance, but does not extend very far on the side away from the street. Also disclosed is a reflector module for an LED light engine having rows of cone reflectors modified to produce an effective emission pattern.

  • Publication number: 20070257274
    Abstract: A lighting device having a light emitting diode (LED). The device includes a metal substrate having a surface. A dielectric coating layer is superimposed on the surface of the metal substrate. A light emitting diode (LED) is supported on the dielectric coating layer. The metal substrate serves as a heat sink for the heat emitted by LED during operation.
