The present invention relates to a lighting device (11) comprising a light emitting portion with at least two solid state light sources, SSL (18). The light emitting portion includes a first cover member (12a) with a first light source carrier (13a) and a first light transmitting portion (14), a second cover member (12b) with a second light source carrier (13b) and a second light transmitting portion (14). The first and second cover member are arranged such that a first light transmitting portion is aligned with the second SSL to allow transmission of light emitted from the second SSL through the first cover member, and a second light transmitting portion is aligned with the first SSL to allow transmission of light emitted from the first SSL through the second cover member. According to this design, light emitted from an SSL on one cover member will be transmitted through the other cover member. Dissipation of heat from each SSL may be provided in the other direction, i.e. in a direction opposite to the light emitting direction of each SSL.

A universal mounting bracket is disclosed, which generally consists of a fixture plate, mounting plate, and an adjustable means.

Accessories for LED lamp systems and methods of attaching accessories to illumination sources (e.g., LED lamps) are disclosed. A beam shaping accessories mechanically affixed to the LED lamp. The lens is designed to adapt to a first fixture that is mechanically attached to the lens. Accessories are designed to have a second fixture for mating to the first fixture such that the first fixture and the second fixture are configured to produce a retaining force between the first accessory and the lens. The retaining force is a mechanical force that is accomplished by mechanical mating of mechanical fixtures, or the retaining force is a magnetic force and is accomplished by magnetic fixtures configured to have attracting magnetic forces. In some embodiments, the accessory is treated to modulate an emanated light pattern (e.g., a rectangular, or square, or oval, or circular or diffused emanated light pattern). A USB connector is also provided.

A tube that is at least partially optically transmissive. An LED mounted on a substrate is positioned in the tube and is operable to emit light through the tube when energized through an electrical path. Pins are in the electrical path. An electrical conductor electrically couples the pins to the electrical path, the electrical conductor is biased into engagement with an electrical contact on the substrate. The substrate may be secured to the tube by an adhesive. The substrate may be secured to the end caps and be suspended in the tube.

The disclosed invention is embodied in an improved LED-based lighting fixture for projecting a beam of light having a substantially uniform intensity, rotationally, and a selectable, substantially uniform chromaticity. The lighting fixture includes (1) a concave reflector having circumferential facets, a focal region, an aperture, and a central opening; and (2) a light source assembly including two or more groups of LEDs mounted at the forward end of an elongated, thermally conductive support. The light source assembly is mounted relative to the reflector with the elongated support's longitudinal axis aligned with the reflector's longitudinal axis and with the groups of LEDs located at or near the reflector's focal region. Each of the two or more groups of LEDs includes a plurality of LEDs arranged in two or more columns substantially parallel with the light source axis, with each column including only LEDs configured to emit light in a limited range of the visible spectrum and having the same distinct dominant wavelength, and with each group of LEDs including LEDs configured to emit light in two or more dominant wavelengths. The two or more groups of LEDs are configured to cooperate with the faceted concave reflector to project a beam of light having a selectable, substantially uniform chromaticity.
