    Abstract: A lens for distribution of light predominantly toward a preferential side from a light emitter having an emitter axis. The lens has a faceted output region, a smooth output surface and at least one reflective surface which reflects light through total-internal-reflection (TIR) toward the faceted output region. The faceted output region is formed by pairs of transverse surfaces each surface of which redirects the received light to provide a composite illuminance pattern. The lens may further have faceted input surfaces at least partially defining a light-input cavity about the emitter axis. The faceted input region is formed by pairs of transverse surfaces each surface of which redirects the received light.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to LED components, and systems using such components, having a light emission profile that may be controlled independently of the lens shape by varying the position and/or orientation of LED chips with respect to one or both of an overlying lens and the surface of the component. For example, the optical centers of the LED emitting surface and the lens, which are normally aligned, may be offset from each other to generate a controlled and predictable emission profile. The LED chips may be positioned to provide a peak emission shifted from a perpendicular centerline of the lens base. The use of offset emitters allows for LED components with shifted or tilted emission patterns, without causing output at high angles of the components. This is beneficial as it allows a lighting system to have tilted emission from the LED component and primary optics.

    Abstract: LED packages are disclosed that are compact and efficiently emit light, and can comprise encapsulants with planar surfaces that refract and/or reflect light within the package encapsulant. The packages can also comprise a submount with one or more LEDs, and a blanket conversion material layer on the one or more LEDs and the submount. The encapsulant can be on the submount, over the LEDs, and light reflected within the encapsulant will reach the conversion material, where it will be absorbed and emitted omnidirectionally. This allows for reflected light to now escape from the encapsulant. This allows for efficient emission and a broader emission profile, for example when compared to conventional packages with hemispheric encapsulants or lenses. In certain embodiments, the LED package provides a higher chip area to LED package area ratio. By using an encapsulant with planar surfaces, the LED package can provide unique dimensional relationships between the various features and the LED package ratios, enabling more flexibility in using the packages in different applications.

    Abstract: LED based lamps and bulbs are disclosed that comprise a pedestal having a plurality of LEDs, wherein the pedestal at least partially comprises a thermally conductive material. A heat sink structure is included with the pedestal thermally coupled to the heat sink structure. A remote phosphor is arranged in relation to the LEDs so that at least some light from the LEDs passes through the remote phosphor and is converted to a different wavelength of light. Some lamp or bulb embodiments can emit a white light combination of light from the LEDs and the remote phosphor. These can include LEDs emitting blue light with the remote phosphor having a material that absorbs blue light and emits yellow or green light. A diffuser can be included to diffuse the emitting light into the desired pattern, such as omnidirectional.

    Abstract: A low profile lighting module. Devices according to this disclosure can produce a uniform light intensity output profile, limiting the perceived appearance of individual point sources, from direct lighting modules comprising several light emitting diodes. Individual lighting device components are disclosed that can contribute to this uniform profile, including: primary optics, secondary optics, and contoured housing elements. These components can interact with and control emitted light, thus adjusting its pattern. These components can alter the direction of emitted light, providing a more uniform light intensity over a wider range of viewing angle.
