The sequence of mounting sections extends from the base section of the at least one mounting member.
Optical fiber holding structure
An optical fiber holding structure includes a light-transmitting tube configured to cover a surface-light-emitting optical fiber and a fixture configured to fix the tube to a building material. The tube is made of a material having such rigidity that the tube is not bent even when the tube is horizontally fixed by the fixture. The tube has a notch through which the optical fiber is introduced into the tube. The fixture includes an engaging portion, a mounting portion and a leg portion. The engaging portion is inserted into the tube through the notch to engage with an inner circumference of the tube. The mounting portion is mounted to the building material. The leg portion is configured to interconnect the engaging portion and the mounting portion with a predetermined gap left therebetween.
LED lamp apparatus and method of making an LED lamp apparatus
A device for illuminating a space comprising is discussed. In one variation, the device includes: a central body portion, with a length and a width, and including two plates running along the length of the central body portion wherein the two plates are separated by a spacer; an opening for the removal of heat during operation of the device that extends along a portion of the length of the central body portion, a light emitting diode on the central body portion; a reflector, extending from the central body portion, for reflecting light emitted by the light emitting diode towards the illuminated space. Other variations are also discussed as are methods for using suitable variations for retrofitting existing non-light emitting diode light sources.
Illumination unit and display apparatus using the same
A display apparatus including an illumination unit having a first illumination unit including a first light source module, a second illumination unit including a second light source module, and a bracket located between the first and second illumination units to connect the illumination units to each other. The bracket includes a first body portion on which the first light source module is placed, a second body portion on which the second light source module is placed, and a connecting portion located between the first and second body portions to connect the body portions to each other. The connecting portion has a first distance from a first end of the first or second body portion and a second distance from a second end of the first or second body portion, and the second distance is greater than the first distance.
LIGHTING DEVICE WITH LIGHT-EMITTING FILAMENTS
A lighting device (5) is disclosed. The lighting device (5) comprises a plurality of light-emitting filaments (10), wherein each of the light-emitting filaments (10) comprises a plurality of solid-state light sources mounted on a carrier along a longitudinal axis of the light-emitting filament (10). The light-emitting filaments (10) are arranged in a planar configuration, and the lighting device (5) has a main direction of illumination (I) perpendicularly away from a plane (P) defined by the planar configuration. The longitudinal axes (L1, L2) of at least two light-emitting filaments (10) are non-parallel to each other. A luminaire comprising the lighting device is also disclosed. The lighting device (5) can be produced in a cost-efficient manner.
Mounting arrangement and method for light emitting diodes
A modular light emitting diode (LED) mounting configuration is provided including a light source module having a plurality of pre-packaged LEDs arranged in a serial array. The module includes a heat conductive body portion adapted to conduct heat generated by the LEDs to an adjacent heat sink. As a result, the LEDs are able to be operated with a higher current than normally allowed. Thus, brightness and performance of the LEDs is increased without decreasing the life expectancy of the LEDs. The LED modules can be used in a variety of illumination applications employing one or more modules.
Multi-directional lighting with single orientation light source
The present disclosure provides a multi-directional light fixture having a single orientation light source. The multi-directional light fixture includes a light source orientated towards a semi-reflective lens. The semi-reflective lens allows a portion of the light it receives from the light source to be reflected upwards, providing uplight from the light fixture. The lens also allows a portion of the light it receives from the light source to be transmitted therethrough, providing downlight from the light fixture. Thus, the light fixture provides both uplight and downlight while the light source is oriented downwards.
Linear edgelit lighting system with heat sink base and clamp coupled together with a fastener
A lighting fixture includes a housing channel and a heat sink assembly coupled to the housing channel. The heat sink assembly includes a heat sink base and a heat sink clamp that are coupled together via a fastener to retain a waveguide to the lighting fixture. In particular, the fastener is disposed at an acute angle relative to the respective waveguide. Further, the lighting fixture includes one or more light sources coupled to the heat sink base and oriented such that light emitted by the one or more light sources enters an edge of the waveguide. Furthermore, the lighting fixture includes an end cap that covers an open lateral end of the housing channel. Further, the end cap operates as an alignment bracket to couple the lighting fixture to a second lighting fixture adjacent the open lateral end of the housing channel of the lighting fixture.
LIGHTING ASSEMBLY WITH MOVABLE OPTIC FOR LIGHT POLE
A lighting assembly comprising a light source operable to emit light, a first primary optic, and a second primary optic. Each of the first primary optic and the second primary optic are configured so as to reflect light incident thereupon to be emitted by the lighting assembly. Additionally, each of the first primary optic and the second primary optic are positioned such that a first portion of light emitted by the light source is incident upon the first primary optic and a second portion of light emitted by the light source is incident upon the second primary optic. At least one of the first primary optic and the second primary optic is operable to me rotated to change the relative position thereof with respect to the light source.
Luminaire
A luminaire can comprise at a light source, a lightguide, and a reflective surface. The lightguide can comprise two major surfaces, for example two faces of a panel of optical material. The light source can couple light into the lightguide through an edge of the lightguide. The coupled light can exit the lightguide through the major faces of the lightguide. The reflective surface can be oriented to receive and redirect the light emitted from the lightguide. Via this redirection, the luminaire can emit illumination in direction that is different from the light source's emissions. For example, the light source can emit light upward and into the lightguide, the lightguide can emit and distribute that light outward, and the reflective surface can redirect the light downward.
