Abstract: A fluorescent light tube retrofit with light emitting diodes (LEDs) that evenly distribute light to avoid bright spots is disclosed. One tube in the form of a conventional fluorescent tube includes two LEDs mounted to the tube on opposite sides of a single circumference of the tube. The LEDs can face the center of the tube, or the LEDs can be offset facing relative to the center of the tube. A reflecting surface can be disposed inside the tube to reflect light evenly toward an arc of the tube. Alternatively, at least one LED can be oriented to direct light into a light pipe that curves around the interior of the tube.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an illumination device including light-emitting diodes, an alternating current input, a full-wave rectifier coupled to the alternating current input and configured to produce a rectified voltage output and a power converter, the power converter having a switching element electrically coupled to the rectified voltage output of the full-wave rectifier. An improvement of the illumination device includes a feedback circuit configured to determine an average current across the light-emitting diodes and to invert a signal representing the average current to provide a switching signal to the switching element such that, for a range of operating points, increasing a current drawn into the power converter will decrease LED power and decreasing the current drawn into the power converter will increase LED power.

Abstract: An LED-based light can include a highly thermally conductive base having multiple radially outward projecting nodes. The nodes can be spaced apart in an axial and circumferential directions of the base. An electrical connector and at least one LED can be attached to the base, and a light transmitting bulb can be attached to the base and can cover the at least one LED. The geometry of the base can promote heat dissipation, which can allow the at least one LED to use enough power to produce an amount of luminosity that allows the LED-based light to replicate, for example, an incandescent light without overheating.
