Abstract:
A light module can comprise a light emitting diode that generates light and an optic that manipulates or manages the resulting light. The optic can direct the generated light off axis, resulting in an illumination pattern that is biased towards one side of the light module, for example in a desired direction. Thus, the optic can transform the emission pattern of the light emitting diode to create an illumination pattern that is aimed in a desired direction. The optic can comprise a light-blocking shield to suppress, manage, or redirect light that would otherwise emanate from the light module in an unintended direction, for example opposite the desired direction.
Abstract:
A light module for use as a portable light or as a light source in a track lighting system is described herein. The light module may include a module housing containing a light emitting aperture, and a light emitting diode (LED) light source located inside the module housing, where the LED light source is aligned with the light emitting aperture. The light module further includes a driver electrically connected to the LED light source, and a chargeable power supply component electrically connected to the driver. The light module also includes at least two magnets attached to the exterior of the module housing, where at least one magnet is associated with a positive electrical terminal and another magnet is associated with a negative terminal, and where at least one magnet provides electrical power to at least one of the chargeable power supply component or driver.
Abstract:
A modular lighting system may include a support structure, a plurality of heat sink modules physically supported by the support structure, and one or more light source modules coupled to the plurality of heat sink modules. The plurality of heat sink modules may be arranged in a modular manner such that the heat sink modules in the modular lighting system is variable, and each heat sink module may be an integral molded structure defining at least one opening or passageway.
Abstract:
A lighting fixture structure for a suspended lighting fixture includes an electronics housing for containing lighting electronics. The lighting fixture structure further includes a thermal barrier positioned around a portion of the electronics housing. The lighting fixture structure also includes a heat sink. The electronics housing is separated from the thermal barrier by a first air gap, and the thermal barrier is separated from the heat sink by a second air gap.
Abstract:
A luminaire can comprise a central opening through which cooling air flows. A lens can extend circumferentially about the central opening. A frame can extend circumferentially about the lens. Cooling air can further flow in a gap between the lens and the frame. Light emitting diodes can emit light towards the lens, and the light can pass through the lens. The frame can provide the luminaire with a disk form, or another appropriate geometry.
