Ideally the masks may be printed directly on a surface design layer for use with the light panel. The invention is for use in the field of decorative 5 lighting. The problem of the alternating bright and dark areas on an illuminated face of a pane of a light panel is that they produce an unpleasant mottled surface brightness around the perimeter or across a face of the pane of a light panel. A light pane light source shade is developed to produce a uniform intensity of light across the face of the light panel.

  • Publication number: 20170122542
    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to development of a LED system with high thermal dissipation power relative to the system weight by the inclusion of open regions. The open regions reduce the weight of the optical system while improving airflow. Associated optics are described to efficiently and evenly distribute the light from an LED by tailoring the optical distribution. In addition, circuitry and methods are described to allow for the LED system to operate with existing power sources such as ballast or offline AC voltage sources or both.
