  • Patent number: 10451250
    Abstract: A variety of light-emitting devices for general illumination utilizing solid state light sources (e.g., light emitting diodes) are disclosed. In general, the devices include a scattering element in combination with an extractor element. The scattering element, which may include elastic and/or inelastic scattering centers, is spaced apart from the light source element. Opposite sides of the scattering element have asymmetric optical interfaces, there being a larger refractive index mismatch at the interface facing the light emitting element than the interface between the scattering element and the extractor element. Such a structure favors forward scattering of light from the scattering element. In other words, the system favors scattering out of the scattering element into the extractor element over backscattering light towards the light source element.

The lighting cove includes a horizontal arm and a first and a second vertical leg attached to opposite ends of the horizontal arm. The first vertical leg and the second vertical leg each include a shoulder on an inside face. The lighting module includes a body and a plurality of retractable latches having downward facing points which retract into the body. When the lighting module is inserted into the lighting cove between the first vertical leg and the second vertical leg, the shoulders on the first vertical leg and the second vertical leg press on the retractable latches such that the retractable latches retract and the lighting module can pass the shoulders. When the lighting module passes the shoulders the retractable latches re-extend and prevent the lighting module from being removed from the lighting cove.
