The heat dissipating seat is engaged on a lower end face of an upper LED substrate of the upper luminosity module and includes side walls formed as an annular polygon. Each sidelight luminosity module is mounted on an associated side wall and includes a lateral LED substrate and at least one lateral LED disposed on the lateral LED substrate. Each lateral LED can be driven to radiate horizontally and downward via the transparent bulb seat. As such, the LED bulb realizes wide-angle radiation effect and superior cooling effect.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2012Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Inventor: Wen-Sung Hu

Patent number: 8919994Abstract: An LED lamp specially adapted for use in combination with a concave reflector and to replace the incandescent light sources normally used. The lamp includes two or more light emitting diodes or light emitting diode arrays, each with a specified angle of light radiation, mounted substantially perpendicular to the lamp support and spaced symmetrically around the longitudinal axis of the said lamp support to form a compact consolidated light radiation area with a specified length, width, and height. All of the light radiates outward in a 360 degree radial pattern around and horizontal to the longitudinal axis of the said lamp support and at a specified angle of radiation vertical to the longitudinal axis of the said lamp support. Substantially all of the light emitted impinges on, and is redirected by, the reflector to project a high intensity beam of light with all light rays radiating at the same angle.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2012Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Inventor: Randal L. Wimberly

Patent number: 8870419Abstract: A lighting system (10, 50, 70, 90) is provided comprising at least one light source (21, 91) and at least a first optical element (22, 92). The light source (21, 91) generates a light beam (12) and the first optical element (22, 92) refracts the light beam (12). The light source (21, 91) and the first optical element (22, 92) are arranged such that the light source (21, 91) and/or the first optical element (22, 92) are movable under the influence of a gravitational field in such a way that a distance between the light source (21, 91) and the first optical element (22, 92) is dependent on an orientation of the lighting system (10, 50, 70, 90) with respect to the gravitational field.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2010Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Oscar Hendrikus Willemsen, Michel Cornelis Josephus Marie Vissenberg
