摘要： A showerhead (802, 804) or faucet (12, 602, 702) includes a water outlet (16, 606, 706, 802) for emitting a water flow (22, 610, 710) and a handle (18, 20, 604, 704, 830) for controlling the water flow (22, 610, 770). At least one LED (42, 242, 342, 442, 542, 544, 546, 624, 658, 730, 810) is arranged on or in the showerhead (802, 804) or faucet (12, 602, 702) and viewable by an associated user thereof. A light-transmissive encapsulant (630, 660, 732) seals the at least one LED (42, 242, 342, 442, 542, 544, 546, 624, 658, 730, 810) and transmits light produced by the at least one LED (42, 242, 342, 442, 542, 544, 546, 624, 658, 730, 810) to the associated user. A controller (550) produces a controller output for controlling the LED light emission responsive to at least one of a water flow rate, a water flow temperature, an ambient light level, and a position of the handle (18, 20, 604, 704, 830). The at least one LED (42, 242, 342, 442, 542, 544, 546, 624, 658, 730, 810) is can be arranged on a printed circuit board (626, 656) and electrically powered via conductive traces thereon, in which case the light-transmissive encapsulant (630, 660, 732) seals the LED source and the conductive traces.

摘要： A light emitting diode (LED) device (A) and processes for its manufacture are provided. The LED device (A) includes a light emitting chip or die (10) and an encapsulant (22) surrounding the same. The encapsulant (22) is substantially spherical in shape, and the die (10) is preferably located at a substantial center of the encapsulant (22). An electrically conductive path extends from the chip or die (10) to a periphery of the encapsulant (22) such that the chip/die (10) can be selectively energized to produce light by applying electricity to the electrically conductive path at the periphery of the encapsulant (22). Preferably, the encapsulant (22) is chosen to have an index of refraction as close as possible to the higher of an index of refraction of the die's semiconductor material and an index of refraction of the die's substrate (12).
