  • Patent number: 8322877
    Abstract: A work light assembly remotely positionable by means of a radio frequency transmitter signaling a motion controller driving a linear actuator. The light source is mounted on a pivoting boom that is in turn mounted to an upright post that telescopes up or down by means of manual controls interfaced with the controller, or by way of an RF transmitter commanding the controller. Motive properties such as maximum telescoping travel speed are preset at the controller.

  • Patent number: 8235551
    Abstract: A light-emitting diode (LED) module and an LED packaging method. As the LED module is packaged under the consideration of candela distribution, each of the lead frames of the LED chips packaged in the LED module is bended for tilting the LED chips by different angles to exhibit various lighting effects. Meanwhile, in the LED packaging method, a plurality of LED chips can be loaded on board rapidly and aligned by one operation to result in less deviation in the candela distribution curve.

  • Publication number: 20120134155
    Abstract: The invention provides a lighting unit (1) comprising a light source (20) and an actuator (40). The light source (20) is arranged to generate, during use, a light beam (B) whose light intensity is dependent upon an electrical power signal (I; V). The actuator (40) is arranged to orient, during use, the light beam (B) in an orientation dependent upon the electrical power signal (I; V). The orientation of the light beam has a pre-determined relationship to the light intensity of the light beam. The invention further relates to a lighting system (100) comprising at least one lighting unit, a space (1000) comprising such a lighting system, and a use of such a lighting system.

  • Patent number: 8186851
    Abstract: A full angle LED (light-emitting diode) illumination device comprises at least three copper base plates, a plurality of LED chips, and a flexible circuit layer. Each copper base plate is electroplated with a layer of silver thereon and the copper base plates are arranged in a crisscross pattern to form the backbone of a three-dimensional globe. Each LED chip is provided on the external surface of the three-dimensional globe at a site where any two copper base plates are crisscrossed. The flexible circuit layer is provided on the peripheries of the copper base plates and electrically connected with the LED chips for controlling the LED chips. Accordingly, it is able to provide full angle illumination range and to improve the thermal conductivity and heat dissipation capability in order to prolong effectively the lifetime of the LED chips in use.
