  • Patent number: 10197227
    Abstract: An illumination device including a light source positioned at the distal end of a reflecting unit and a heat sink light transmissive substrate including quantum dots positioned at the proximal end of the reflecting unit with the reflecting unit having one or more reflecting side walls and a reflecting bottom wall and with the light source being separated a distance from the light transmissive substrate including quantum dots. In certain embodiments, the light source is an LED.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9429279
    Abstract: Lighting apparatus and methods employing LED light sources are described. The LED light sources are integrated with other components in the form of a luminaire or other general purpose lighting structure. Some of the lighting structures are formed as Parabolic Aluminum Reflector (PAR) luminaires, allowing them to be inserted into conventional sockets. The lighting structures display beneficial operating characteristics, such as efficient operation, high thermal dissipation, high output, and good color mixing.

  • Patent number: 7806558
    Abstract: A projection lighting fixture includes multiple LED packages (e.g., chip-on-board or surface mount LED assemblies including one or more LED junctions) disposed on a common mounting board or substrate. Each LED package is associated with a corresponding collimator. The common mounting board on which the multiple LED package/collimator pairs are disposed includes a reference axis in the plane of the board (e.g., a vertical or horizontal axis of the board). One or more of the LED packages are disposed on the common mounting board such that they are rotated clockwise or counter-clockwise with respect to the reference axis, so that at least two of the LED packages have different rotations. The light projected from the respective collimators associated with the multiple LED packages at least partially overlaps in a target illumination field, and the different rotations of at least two of the LED packages facilitates substantially uniform illumination in the target illumination field.
