Abstract:
Solid state light emitting devices include lumiphor elements that are spatially segregated from electrically activated solid state emitters with an intermediately arranged optical element (including but not limited to a dichroic filter). Curved or faceted optical elements, and curved or faceted reflectors, may be employed. Multiple solid state emitters may be arranged in multiple reflector cups or recesses. Characteristics of optical elements and/or lumiphor elements of such devices may be varied with respect to angular position.
Abstract:
A luminaire for use in lighting a large open space such as a parking lot or deck of a parking garage includes a plurality of optical waveguides disposed in side-by-side relationship and together defining a closed path and at least one LED associated with each optical waveguide and disposed at a first end of the associated optical waveguide.
