Patent number: 8529102Abstract: A reflector system for a lighting device. The system uses two reflective surfaces to redirect the light before it is emitted. The light source/sources are disposed at the base of a secondary reflector. The first reflective surface is provided by a primary reflector which is arranged proximate to the source/sources. The primary reflector initially redirects, and in some cases diffuses, light from the sources such that the different wavelengths of light are mixed as they are redirected toward the secondary reflector. The secondary reflector functions primarily to shape the light into a desired output beam. The primary and secondary reflectors may be specular or diffuse and may comprise faceted surfaces. The reflector arrangement allows the source to be placed at the base of the secondary reflector where it may be thermally coupled to a housing or another structure to provide an outlet for heat generated by the sources.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2009Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: Cree, Inc.Inventors: Paul Kenneth Pickard, Ryan Kelley

Patent number: 8523389Abstract: The illumination system includes a light source, a diffusing element and a specular back reflector. The light source is configured to emit light towards the specular back reflector reflecting at least part of the light emitted by the light source so as to illuminate the diffusing element. The specular back reflector is shaped to generate a substantially homogeneous distribution across the diffusing element of a light flux impinging on the diffusing element.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2008Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Petrus Adrianus Josephus Holten, Vincent Fabriek, Giorgia Tordini
