Patent number: 8941300Abstract: An electric lamp (1) comprising a socket (2), a lamp bulb (4) mounted on the socket, in which bulb at least one semiconductor light source (5) is arranged. Cooling means (6) comprise at least two facing cooling fins (7,8) which are separated by at least one spacing (9). Said spacing being open to the environment and extending from the heart of the lamp bulb to the outer surface of the bulb. The lamp comprises a light redistributing, light transmittable wall (13) for redistributing light; optionally said light redistributing wall comprises separate, discernable wall parts (14,15). For example, each discernable bulb part is shaped like a surface of a half prolate or half oblate ellipse. Thus, a desired double beam or homogeneous, omni-directional light distribution is obtainable.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2010Date of Patent: January 27, 2015Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Johannes P. M. Ansems, Antonius A. M. Marinus, Vincent S. D. Gielen

Patent number: 8851714Abstract: A cooling arrangement comprising a source electrode, a first and a second target electrode arranged at a distance from the source electrode and control circuitry for controlling a voltage being applied between the source electrode and at least one of the first and the second target electrodes. The voltage is controlled such that an airflow resulting from a potential difference between the source electrode and at least one of the first and the second target electrodes is arranged to have alternating directions. By means of the invention it may be possible to provide cooling of a device having similar or better performances than a conventional heat sink and fan system, but with a smaller size and weight as well as being silent.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2009Date of Patent: October 7, 2014Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Vincent S. D. Gielen, Arjan De Winter, Theodoor C. Treueniet, Renatus W. C. Van Der Veeken, Johannes A. Rebergen, Godfried C. G. M. Manders

Patent number: 8760043Abstract: Disclosed is an LED-based bulb-type lamp, including a cooling structure and a plurality of LEDs thermally connected to the cooling structure. The lamp includes at least three separate LED arrays oriented substantially parallel to its central longitudinal axis, such that the LEDs are interspersed among a plurality of light-transmission sub-areas of the LED-based lamp. One or more portions of the cooling structure of the lamp extend to its outer surface, as assembled, such that light-transmissive and heat-dissipating areas are spread over the outer surface, for example, in an alternating manner.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2011Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Vincent S. D. Gielen, Johannes P. M. Ansems, Berend J. W. Ter Weeme, Peter J. M. Bukkems, Justin (Yun fei) Xu

Patent number: 8545033Abstract: The invention provides an illumination device comprising an envelope enclosing a light source, preferably a LED, and a luminescent material. The envelope comprises a transmissive part, and a reflective part, wherein the reflective part comprises a reflective ceramic material. The ceramic material can be used for heat dissipation.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2010Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Vincent S. D. Gielen, Berend J. W. Ter Weeme, Johannes P. M. Ansems, Cornelia T. Staats, Theodorus G. M. M. Kappen, Theodoor C. Treurniet

Patent number: 8314537Abstract: A bulb-type LED lamp (1) has a bulb (3) mounted on a socket (5). A light source (7), comprising a plurality of LEDs mounted on a PCB (9), is arranged inside the bulb (3). The PCB (9) acts as and/or is connected to cooling means (21). The outer surface (15) of the bulb is formed both by light transmittable surface (22) and/or sub-areas (23) thereof and the cooling means (21), which cooling means extend from inside the bulb into the outer surface of the bulb. Surfaces are mutually flush at locations at the outer surface of the bulb where said surfaces of both the cooling means and the light transmittable sub-areas border each other. The spatial light intensity distribution of the lamp of the invention is significantly improved over the prior art bulb-type LED lamp.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2009Date of Patent: November 20, 2012Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Vincent S.
