A backlight unit includes a backlight module with a printed circuit board including blocks and MJT LEDs disposed on the blocks, respectively and a backlight control module generating a signal for drive control of each of the blocks, wherein each of the blocks comprises at least one MJT LED, and the backlight control module includes a drive controller for On/Off control and dimming control of each of the blocks.

A LED based lighting apparatus is disclosed. The light engine used in the lighting apparatus may use printed circuit board and have a plurality of LED groups that are independently controllable by a control unit. The power supply input and return paths connected to each LED group may be implemented on different layers to allow a compact footprint that may be used with traditional fluorescent encasements with relatively little modification. The LEDs may comprise a subset of LEDs having a first colour and a subset of LEDs having a second colour different from said first colour intertwined on the light engine.

An LED tube lamp including a glass lamp tube, an end cap disposed at one end of the glass lamp tube, a power supply provided inside the end cap, an LED light strip disposed inside the glass lamp tube with a plurality of LED light sources mounted on. The LED light strip has a bendable circuit sheet to electrically connect the LED light sources with the power supply. The glass lamp tube and the end cap are secured by a highly thermal conductive silicone gel. In addition, the end cap has at least one opening on surface to dissipate heat resulting from the power supply.

A lamp includes an optically transmissive enclosure and a base connected to the enclosure. A LED board is positioned in the enclosure and has a first side and a second side. A first LED array is mounted on the first side and a second LED array is mounted on the second side where the LED arrays are operable to emit light when energized through an electrical path from the base. A first diffusive lens and a second diffusive lens are located inside of and spaced from the enclosure. The first diffusive lens receives light emitted from the first LED array and the second diffusive lens receives light emitted from the second LED array.

An LED signal module includes a circuit board with a plurality of LEDs, a corresponding plurality of lenses and an overmolded front element with a plurality of openings for receiving one of the plurality of lenses therethrough, and an exterior surface having a textured pattern thereon, with the front element configured to absorb the light from external sources.

Methods and apparatus for providing circadian-friendly LED light sources are disclosed. A light source is formed to include a first LED emission (e.g., one or more LEDs emitting a first spectrum) and a second LED emission (e.g., one or more LEDs emitting a second spectrum) wherein the first and second LED emissions are combined in a first ratio and in a second ratio such that while changing from the first ratio to the second ratio the relative circadian stimulation is varied while maintaining a color rendering index above 80.

A system and an apparatus for connecting a fiber optic or rigid light guide to a light source are provided. The fiber optic or rigid light guide has one end connected to a ferrule with a contact surface. The system includes a connecting element connectable to the light source, into which the ferrule can be inserted. The connecting element has a number of radially movable fastening portions, wherein the fixing portions are radially biased and cooperate with the contact surface, when the ferrule is inserted into the connecting element, whereby a first retention force is applied to the contact surface, and a fixing element is positioned in such a way that it cooperates with the fastening portions so that a second retention force, which is greater than the first retention force, is applied to the contact surface.

A light transmissive structure includes a light transmissive substrate having first and second opposing faces and array of microprism elements on the first face, with a respective microprism element including a plurality of concentric microprisms. The light transmissive structure is configured to receive light from a light source facing the first face and distribute the light emerging from the second face in a 2D batwing distribution.

Disclosed is an LED light source automated luminaire with a multi curved sided collimator mixer and integrator combination.

The present invention relates to a fluorescent lamp-type LED lighting device including: a case part formed to be elongated in one direction and having an open bottom surface which provides a reflection space on the inner side; a cover part provided on the bottom surface of the case part so that the light which is reflected and diffused in the case part is emitted; and multiple LEDs which emit the light from the cover part and the inner side of the case part such that the light is reflected and diffused on the inner side of the case part. According to the present invention, the LED light is emitted toward an indoor ceiling side, the reflection space is provided so as to reflect and diffuse the emitted LED light, and the light is emitted through a bottom surface part. Accordingly, no additional diffusion plate for surface emission is used and thus optical efficiency can be increased.
