  • Publication number: 20140111996
    Abstract: A lamp apparatus include a lamp body, at least an alternating current light-emitting diode and a plug. The alternating current light-emitting diode is disposed on a lamp body. The plug is electrically connected to the alternating current light-emitting diode. In lamp apparatuses utilizing AC LED, heat generated thereby is almost concentrated on chips. Compared with conventional lamp apparatuses utilizing DC LEDs, heat generated thereby is distributed on chips and outer rectifier. In lamp apparatuses utilizing AC LEDs, heat generated thereby is almost concentrated on chips because AC LEDs operate directly with AC electric power, omitting a rectifier and preventing power loss during operation of power rectification. Therefore, the heat accumulated on the chips of the AC LEDs is enough to be used to evaporate essential oil. In another embodiment, the invention utilizes low-resistance pure water surrounding the AC LED to dissipate its heat.

    Abstract: An apparatus, method, or system of lighting units comprising a plurality of lighting elements, such as one or more LEDs, each element having an associated optic which is individually positionable. In embodiments of the present invention, one or more optics are developed using optimization techniques that allow for lighting different target areas in an effective manner by rotating or otherwise positioning the reflectors, refractive lenses, TIR lenses, or other lens types to create a composite beam. The apparatus, method, or system of lighting herein makes it possible to widely vary the types of beams from an available fixture using a small number of inventoried optics and fixtures. In some cases, by using a combination of individual beam patterns, a small set of individual optics would be sufficient to create a majority of the typical and specialized composite beams needed to meet the needs of most lighting projects and target areas.

The signal receiver receives a signal emitted from the signal emitter and transmits the signal to the micro-computer processor. The micro-computer processor dictates the power module to drive the adjuster to rotate. The LED module rotates following the rotation of the adjuster to change an illumination angle of the LED module.

  • Patent number: 8517566
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are apparatus, methods, and systems for illuminating roadways, paths, tunnels, bridges, and areas adjacent to such in a manner which minimizes glare and/or other adverse lighting effects commonly experienced by night-time drivers. According to aspects of the invention, horizontal and vertical aiming of a plurality of solid-state light sources permits projected light from a fixture to be tailored to roadway features (e.g., bends in the road) and in some cases, permits the mounting height of fixtures to be reduced which can make the envisioned system a cost-effective alternative to traditional roadway lighting.

    Abstract: Some implementations include an array of devices having blades configured for rotation. The devices may be lighting devices having a plurality of pixel elements disposed on each blade. The blades of these devices may sweep out an area that overlaps with an area swept out by the blades of an adjacent device in a row. Each device in a column may have blades that are configured to rotate in an opposite direction from the blades of an adjacent device in the column. Diagonally adjacent devices (offset by one row and one column) may have blades that rotate in the same direction but out of phase. The blades of diagonally adjacent devices may or may not sweep out overlapping areas. The areas may overlap by more or less than a width of a pixel element.

    Abstract: A laterally installable rotating lamp includes a main body, a plurality of LED light sources, a transparent cover and an electric connector. The main body includes an air flow channel disposed on one side of the main body and the LED light sources disposed on the other side of the main body, and the transparent cover covers the LED light sources, and the electric connector is installed at an end of the main body through a connecting portion and electrically coupled to the LED light sources. The air flow channel is provided for quickly dissipating the heat produced by the LED light sources to prevent a light attenuation of the LED light sources caused by the thermal interference, and a reduced service life. In addition, the connecting portion can be rotated to adjust the illumination angle or the lamp.
