  • Patent number: 5594433
    Abstract: Omni-directional LED lamps are disclosed in three embodiments. In a first embodiment, two LEDs are mounted side by side in a miniature bayonet base that can fit into a conventional miniature bayonet socket. The side-by-side LEDs face semi-spherical mirror reflectors that distribute the unidirectional light emitted from the LEDs over an omni-direction. A second embodiment has two LEDs facing one another with a spherical mirror reflector between to cause unidirectional light to be omnidirectional. In a third embodiment, a semi-spherical reflector is mounted in the top of a lens cover above an LED. The components are housed in a sealable casing for marine applications where the casing can be mounted to a dock piling.
