Abstract:
Technologies are described herein for an illumination device and a corresponding fixture device. The illumination device includes a luminary module for the emission of light and an identification circuit containing identifying data, while the fixture device includes a driver module for supplying power to the illumination device and a controller module. When the illumination device is connected to the fixture device, the controller module communicates with the identification circuit of the illumination device to retrieve the identifying data and causes the driver module to supply the appropriate power to the luminary module of the illumination device.
Abstract:
The disclosed embodiments relate to a lighting device (1) comprising an exit window (2) and a light source substrate (3) arranged to carry at least one solid-state light source (4), the at least one light source (4) being arranged to emit light through the exit window (2). The exit window (2) is shaped to allow a front surface of the light source substrate (3) to be brought into physical contact with a surface of the exit window facing the light source substrate (3), and in that the light source substrate (3) is held in physical contact with the exit window (2), thereby enabling thermal contact between the light source substrate (3) and the exit window (2). Since thermal contact between the exit window and the light source substrate is secured, the heat transfer of the lighting device will be improved.

A lighting device or a lamp bulb (100, 200) comprises at least one light source (101) and a driver assembly (108), said driver assembly comprising driver electronics; wherein during operation of the light source, a distance between an optical axis (120) of the lighting device and a heat flow of the lighting device is less than a distance between the optical axis (120) and a component of the driver electronics having the highest temperature sensitivity.
Abstract:
A lighting device including one or more solid state light sources providing air cooling of the electronic driver is disclosed. The driver receives power and provides it to the light source(s). The device also includes a first and a second housing. The first housing contains, at least in part, the driver, and includes a support having an exterior and an interior, that provides mechanical support to the second housing connected thereto. The interior includes a first opening. The second housing is a heat sink for the device. The second housing has an interior portion, with a second opening corresponding to the first opening, and an exterior portion, having a plurality of external openings. Air entering an external opening is able to mix with air in the first housing by flowing through the first opening and the corresponding second opening, which cools the electronic driver.

The present invention provides a white light source comprising a blue light emitting LED having a light emission peak of 421 to 490 nm and satisfying a relational equation of − 0.2 ≤ P λ × V λ / P λmax 1 × V λmax 1 − B λ × V λ / B λmax 2 × V λmax 2 ≤ + 0.2 , assuming that: a light emission spectrum of the white light source is P(λ); a light emission spectrum of black-body radiation having a same color temperature as that of the white light source is B(λ); a spectrum of a spectral luminous efficiency is V(λ); a wavelength at which P(λ) x V(λ) becomes largest is λmax1; and a wavelength at which B(λ) x V(λ) becomes largest is λmax2. According to the above white light source, there can be provided a white light source capable of reproducing the same light emission spectrum as that of natural light.
Abstract:
An optical element for a light source and a lighting system using the optical element are disclosed. In example embodiments, the optical element includes an entry surface and an exit surface opposite the entry surface. The entry surface includes at least three subsurfaces, wherein each subsurface is disposed to receive light rays leaving light source. Each of the three subsurfaces is geometrically shaped and positioned to receive light rays entering the optical element through that subsurface in order to direct the light passing through the optical element. In some embodiments the optical element includes a concentrator lens disposed in the exit surface. The optical element can also include a mixing treatment. A lighting system can include multiple optical elements, each paired with a light source such as an LED or LED package.
