  • Patent number: 8816590
    Abstract: A lighting device with adjustable color temperature includes a power, a driver, and a plurality of branches. The power is electrically connected to the driver for supplying power to the driver. Each of the branches includes a light source and an adjustor connected in series. The adjustor controls the color temperature of the light source in a corresponding branch by adjusting the voltage through the corresponding branch.

  • Patent number: 8648371
    Abstract: An LED unit includes an LED and an electrochromic element mounted on the LED. The LED includes a base, a light emitting die mounted on the base, a pair of leads electrically connected to the die and an encapsulant sealing the die. The encapsulant has a first area and a second area around the first area. The first area contains yellow phosphor therein, and the second area contains red phosphor therein. The electrochromic element has an opening through which the first area of the encapsulant is exposed. The second area of the encapsulant is covered by the electrochromic element. The electrochromic element can change its color when being electrified, thereby changing the color temperature of the light output from the LED unit.

  • Publication number: 20120241773
    Abstract: An LED bar module includes a lengthwise base and a number of LED chips. The lengthwise base includes a metal layer, a metal circuit layer, and an insulated layer between the metal layer and the metal circuit layer. The insulated layer has a groove in a central thereof to expose a part of the metal layer. The LED chips are placed in the groove and directly contact the exposed part of the metal layer. The metal circuit layer has two connecting portions electrically connecting with the LED chips. The LED chips are arranged in a line which is located between and juxtaposed with the two connecting portions of the metal circuit layer.

  • Publication number: 20120104442
    Abstract: An LED includes a substrate, an LED chip setting on the substrate and a reflection cup surrounding the LED chip on the substrate. The LED chip electrically connects with two electrodes setting on the substrate. The reflection cup is filled with an encapsulating material. A fluorescent layer is formed by heating the encapsulating material and deposits on an end of the encapsulation away from the LED chip. The fluorescent layer is used for converting light from the LED chip into a specific wavelength.

  • Publication number: 20100244742
    Abstract: A variable color discharge lamp including a first lamp tube, a second lamp tube and a variable voltage system is provided. The first lamp tube having a first diameter has a first fluorescent powder disposed therein. The second lamp tube connected to the first lamp tube has a second diameter not equal to the first diameter. The second lamp tube has a second fluorescent powder disposed therein, wherein the second color temperature of the second fluorescent powder is not equal to the first color temperature of the first fluorescent powder. The variable voltage system provides and adjusts a common voltage of the first lamp tube and the second lamp tube. When the common voltage is adjusted, respective luminescence efficiencies of the first fluorescent powder and the second fluorescent powder vary with the common voltage, so as to adjust the mixed light color of the first and the second lamp tubes.
