  • Patent number: 10760774
    Abstract: A compact safer tightly secured lighting system comprises an illumination element module, a terminal box, an illumination element module driver, and a junction box, wherein the illumination element module is composed of a heat sink and a lamp housing. An outer wall of a lower end of the heat sink has a circular recess provided for embedding a temperature controller. The lamp housing is composed of an external case, a reflective cup, a protection mask and a plurality of circlips having elasticity. A spacing is between the outer wall of the protection mask and the internal wall of the external case. The circlip is disposed to an outer wall of the protection mask, where one end is joined to a top end of the protection mask while another end has a tooth buckle corresponding to the internal wall of the external case. The tooth buckle stretches into the spacing to allow the circlip to locate between the external case and the protection mask so as to closely combine the protection mask and the external case.

  • Patent number: 10502392
    Abstract: An illumination device is provided with an optoelectronic light source and an optical body. The optical body is divided into an inner lens part and an outer reflector part adjoining thereon outward in relation to directions perpendicular to a main direction, which body parts are formed monolithically with one another. The inner part is formed as a Fresnel lens with active flanks which acts as a collimating lens, so that a first part of the light which passes through the Fresnel lens via the active flanks is refracted toward the main direction. A second part of the light which passes through the Fresnel lens via folding flanks is refracted away from the main direction. A reflection surface is provided on the outer reflector part, on which the second part of the light is incident and is reflected thereon and deflected with the reflection toward the main direction.

  • Patent number: 10488000
    Abstract: A thin profile surface mount LED lighting apparatus includes a housing, an LED board including multiple uniformly distributed LEDs, and a lens. The lens has a back side facing the LED board and a front side that provides a downward facing surface when the LED lighting apparatus is installed in an opening of a ceiling. The lens is disposed with respect to the LED board such that the LEDs illuminate the back side of the lens. A first spacing of the LEDs causes resulting light from the downward facing surface of the lens to be substantially uniform during operation of the apparatus. In one example, a thin front edge of a sidewall of the housing, forming a perimeter around the lens, is flush with the lens and is appreciably thin (e.g., a thickness of less than three millimeters), and a depth of the sidewall housing is less than one inch.
