  • Patent number: 8629466
    Abstract: This invention discloses a lighting device for providing an illumination with enhanced color uniformity. The lighting device includes a light generating element adjacent a substrate and configured to produce light having wavelengths substantially within a first wavelength range; a transparent frame attached to the substrate, surrounding the transparent frame; a wavelength converting layer for converting a portion of the light produced by the light generating element into light having wavelengths within a second wavelength range, substantially covering the light emitting surface and at least part of the transparent frame; and a scattering frame configured to substantially scatter light that travels therein, covering a portion of the light emitting surface around periphery thereof to thereby receive a portion of the light leaving the wavelength converting layer around the periphery of the light emitting area. Light components in said portion of the light are substantially mixed in the scattering frame.

  • Patent number: 8373183
    Abstract: A light emitting diode package for one or more light emitting diodes mounted on a substrate. A frame is disposed on at least a portion of the substrate and substantially surrounds, but does not contact, the light emitting diode. The frame is substantially transparent to light emitted from the light emitting diode and includes one or more first wavelength converting materials. The wavelength converting materials, which may be one or more phosphors, convert at least a portion of light emitted at the emission wavelength to different wavelength. A cover covers the light emitting diode within the frame. The cover layer includes one or more second wavelength converting materials differing from the first one or more wavelength converting materials in wavelength converting material concentration or in converted light wavelength or in combinations of wavelength converting materials.

  • Patent number: 8081216
    Abstract: A lighting control system for controlling the lighting of a predetermined area is provided. According to one embodiment, the lighting control system comprises one or more light sources positioned in the predetermined area, the light source configured to include adjustable light intensity; a camera positioned and configured to capture an image of the predetermined area; and a controller in operable communication with the one or more light sources and the camera, the controller configured to control the one or more light sources and adjust the light intensity of the light source. The controller is configured to operate in a closed control loop to automatically adjust the lighting conditions of a predetermined area or environment. A false alarm checking process checks for temporary or localized events to prevent unnecessary lighting adjustments.
