Patent number: 8684566Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods for providing illumination. A lighting unit may have a support structure, and one or more light emitting elements supported by a circuit board contacting the support structure. A first optical element and a second optical element may be provided. A remote luminescent material may be provided on one or more optical elements. Light emitting elements configured to excite the luminescent material such as highly efficient light emitting diodes may be directed towards the luminescent material. The support structure may be a heat dissipating element, which may conduct heat from a heat source to a surface of the support structure. The heat dissipating element may have a passageway permitting the formation of a convection path to dissipate heat from the support structure. Such lighting units may be used to replace conventional fluorescent light tubes or other lighting devices, or may be provided as standalone lighting units.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2013Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: Next Lighting, Corp.Inventors: Eric Bretschneider, Zach Berkowitz, Randall Sosnick, Lisa Pattison, P. Morgan Pattison

Publication number: 20130050997Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods for providing illumination. A lighting unit, which may be an LED based fluorescent tube replacement, may comprise a power supply and an LED portion produced as separate modules and coupled in a manner that allows the light module and the power supply module to be connected and separated in a reproducible manner. The removable power supply module may enhance the serviceability, customizability and upgradability of the LED based system.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2011Publication date: February 28, 2013Inventors: Eric Bretschneider, Zach Berkowitz, Randall Sosnick

Publication number: 20130044476Abstract: A lighting unit light emitting elements supported by a circuit board contacting a support structure. A remote luminescent material may be provided on one or more optical elements. Light emitting elements, such as light emitting diodes, may be directed towards and, excite the luminescent material. The circuit board may conduct heat from a heat source to an exposed surface of the circuit board. A heat dissipating circuit board may have a passageway permitting the formation of a convection path to remove heat. Such lighting units may replace conventional fluorescent light tubes, or may be provided as standalone lighting units.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2011Publication date: February 21, 2013Inventors: Eric Bretschneider, Zach Berkowitz, Randall Sosnick
