Patent number: 8529076Abstract: An exemplary LED lamp includes a socket, an LED module, a signal receiver, and a signal emitter. The LED module includes a micro-computer processor, a power module and an adjuster electrically connecting with the micro-computer processor and the power module. The LED module is mounted on the adjuster. The signal receiver is mounted on the LED module. 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2011Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: Foxsemicon Integrated Technology, Inc.Inventor: Kuo-Cheng Chang

Patent number: 8523397Abstract: An apparatus, method, and system to provide, as one example, up-light for aerial viewing from downwardly aimed wide area, high intensity, lighting fixtures. The method controls a small percentage of light from the fixture to pass up and away for up-light, with the remainder used to produce a controlled, concentrated beam to a target. Some embodiments include a substantial amount of glare and spill light control. An apparatus can include a lamp and fixture with a visor length that is shorter than most conventional spill and glare control visors. The visor allows a controlled, relatively small percentage of direct light from the fixture for a desired or needed level of aerial illumination, but efficiently directs other light to the target. Optionally, a reflective plate is positioned inside the visor to reflect a small percentage of light from the fixture upwardly for up-light. Another embodiment can shift a fraction of light in direction(s) different than the main light output of the fixture.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2007Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: Musco CorporationInventor: Myron K.

Patent number: 8523400Abstract: A light-emitting diode (LED) streetlight structure, which includes a light-emitting module, a power module, and a lamppost. The light-emitting module is disposed on side of the power module; the lamppost is disposed on the other side of the power module and corresponds to the light-emitting module. A heat-dissipating structure is disposed on the surface of a housing of the power module. The heat-dissipating structure corresponds to a power supply in the power module, and can dissipate the heat generated by the power supply and reduce the temperature thereof. Accordingly, heat dissipation of the power supply is enhanced, and hence increasing its lifetime.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2010Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: Optotech CorporationInventors: Wan-Chih Lin, Yi-Ming Tai, Cheng-Wei Yang, Chia-Wen Wu, Shun-Chih Chen
