Advancements in Energy Efficient LED Lighting

An LED lamp design enabling high-power LEDs to operate without external heat sinks. The design features a cylindrical transparent housing containing LEDs mounted on a flexible PCB rolled up inside. A thin transparent layer coats the PCB to protect the LEDs. The rolled PCB, along with the LEDs and driver components, is enclosed within the housing, allowing efficient heat dissipation directly into the surrounding air through the transparent housing.

LED tube lamp with improved thermal management and reliability. The lamp has a glass tube with a diffusive layer. Inside, an LED light strip is attached by glue. The light strip has connecting pads at one end. LED light sources are mounted on the strip. A circuit board with components like a rectifier and filter is stacked against the strip end. The board is partly inside an end cap. This design allows better heat dissipation from the strip and components compared to traditional LED tube lamps.

Lighting apparatus with an integrated anion generator for air purification that has a non-powered ventilation structure to provide effective heat dissipation from the LED chips. The lighting apparatus includes an anion generator inside the housing, an open-ended cylindrical anion-emitting tube that protrudes from the housing, a discharge electrode inside the housing opposite the tube opening, an LED circuit board above the housing, and a cover that only partially encloses the tube. Air holes allow outside air into the tube when anions are emitted, creating airflow that also cools the LEDs. The anion generator and vented tube provide air circulation without fans to dissipate LED heat.

LED luminaire housing that uses a biodegradable plastic base to enclose the LEDs and driver. The bioplastic is designed to be suitable for LED luminaires, providing sufficient strength to enclose the LEDs and withstand the heat and environmental conditions. The bioplastic is made from materials like cellulose acetate, polylactic acid, polyhydroxyalkanoates, or thermoplastic starches.

LED lighting device design that improves light output and color consistency over different angles. The design uses a lens assembly mounted over the LED, with a gap between the lens and elastomer encapsulant. This allows light to reflect off the lens surfaces instead of being absorbed by the elastomer. A reflector in the gap can further control light direction. The lens can also have features like a recess or scattering element to mix light. This reduces color variations and improves uniformity compared to traditional LED encapsulation.

A low-cost light-emitting device that can be used to create LED filament lamps that look like traditional incandescent bulbs. The device emits light in a spiraling pattern from a central elongated light guide. This guide has light in-coupling and out-coupling elements to efficiently capture and guide the light. The key features are collimating surfaces that maintain the spiraling light pattern and twisting the guide like a screw to enhance the appearance. This provides a cheaper, tunable, and clearer white light option compared to existing LED filament lamps.

An LED lighting device that maximizes thermal coupling between the LED and heat sink to improve heat dissipation and reliability. The device has a recessed PCB that surrounds the LED module mounted on the heat sink. The PCB provides electrical control circuitry and the recess allows the LED to directly contact the heat sink.

An eye-safe light source that improves light emission efficiency while regulating light distribution characteristics. The light source includes a semiconductor laser joined to a substrate with the wire perpendicular to the laser emission direction. The substrate has a curved reflection surface that faces the laser emission end to reflect the laser light. This avoids shadows and scattering bodies between the laser and reflector.

Source

LED light emitting device that combines multiple LED sources into a compact high quality light source. The device uses a single light guide element adjacent to the LED output surfaces to efficiently collect the emitted light and guide it to an output surface. A transparent collimating element captures the guided light and reflects any escaping light back into the guide.

LED luminaire design that maximizes light extraction from phosphor conversion materials in LED lighting. The luminaire uses a remote phosphor element that scatters light from the LED and a total internal reflection (TIR) extractor element to capture and extract the scattered light. The extractor has a TIR surface that receives scattered light directly from the phosphor and guides it to the exit surface for extraction. The TIR surface reflects light at angles greater than the critical angle for total internal reflection. This allows efficient extraction of converted light that otherwise scatters in random directions from the phosphor.

Light engine for an LED light source that is lower cost, modular, and allows AC power input without complex circuitry. It achieves this by using multiple insulated substrates for the LEDs, driver circuitry, and protection, all bonded together. The LED elements are mounted on a substrate, with circuit substrates contacting it to apply voltage, and protection substrates surrounding all of it. This provides insulation between components and prevents shorts. The bonded substrates form a modular light engine that can be easily manufactured and scaled.

The lighting device includes multiple groups of light emitting diodes (LEDs) that emit at different wavelengths, and luminescent materials that convert some LED emissions to other colors. The LED and luminescent groups are selected so that the combined light produces a white light with color coordinates matching a specific range on the blackbody locus. This provides improved color rendering and contrast compared to conventional LED lighting.

LED module with customized connection of series parallel circuits to achieve uniform thermal loading of LEDs for optimum heat dissipation and reliability. The number of LEDs in the parallel circuits is varied based on their position on the circuit board. Fewer LEDs are connected in parallel in the central region compared to the edge regions. This reduces the current and heat in the center where cooling is poorer.
