A laser source is described. The laser source is configured for providing collimated laser beams arranged in a ring-shape for exiting a phosphor. The laser source has laser diodes arranged in a ring-shaped manner around a symmetry axis. Parallel parts of the laser beams form a hollow tube. Further, a light source is described. The light source has a phosphor, an optical element and a light source configured for providing collimated laser beams arranged in a ring-shape for exiting the phosphor. The light source is arranged such that the collimated laser beams are directed opposite to the collimated luminance.

A light diffusing device for a charger with smart night light is provided, including a light-emitting component, a sensor light disposed on the light-emitting component, a trumpet-shaped reflector and a light-permeable upper housing. The reflector is provided on the light-emitting component, the sensor light is disposed in a trumpet-shaped interior chamber of the reflector, LED lamp beads are disposed on the light-emitting component and surround the sensor light, lights from the LED lamp beads are emitted to a rear face of the reflector, and the light-permeable upper housing is provided on the light-emitting component and the reflector. Light emitted from each LED lamp bead is a point light source and a direct light, and is scattered by the rear face of the reflector and then projected through the upper housing, such that the irradiation range is widened and the light is diffused towards the surroundings.

The present application discloses a unitary gasket-reflector for use in light sources having at least one reflector and at least one gasket to seal the inside of the light sources against the elements.

An LED illumination apparatus includes a substrate, a light source disposed on a top side of the substrate, a cover unit configured to cover the light source, and a reflector configured to extend from inside the cover unit towards the upper substrate, such that light generated by the light source illuminates an area below a bottom side of the substrate.

A circuit board (10) for carrying at least one light source (16) of a lighting device and a method of manufacturing such a circuit board are provided. The circuit board comprises a substrate (1), wherein the substrate comprises at least one fold (9) forming a projecting portion and extending from a periphery (3) of the substrate up to an inner portion (2) of the substrate, whereby the substrate has a polygonal funnel shape. The present aspects use the concept of folding the substrate in order to obtain a polygonal funnel shape of the circuit board, whereby shaping of the substrate without requiring removal of material of the substrate is allowed.

Apparatus and methods for lighting. The apparatus may include a removable recess lighting assembly. The lighting assembly may include a light-emitting diode (LED) light source. The LED light source may include an LED. The lighting assembly may define a central axis. The apparatus may include a heat sink. The heat sink may be configured to be mounted in a structure. The heat sink may be configured to retain the lighting assembly. The heat sink may be configured to release the lighting assembly in response to a translation of the lighting assembly along the central axis. The translation may be a translation without a rotation of the light assembly about the central axis. In operation, the lighting assembly may be serviced without causing damage to the structure in which the apparatus is mounted. The lighting assembly may be removed through a defined aperture in the apparatus.

The present invention includes a removable lighting assembly containing: a housing; a solid state lighting unit contained within the housing and electronically communicating with the housing; and a deflector fixed about the solid state lighting unit for deflection of the light emanating therefrom.

The invention provides a lighting system for providing illumination on a surface (16), comprising a first array (10) of light sources (13) and a first reflector (12) for forming a first pattern on the surface, and a second array (10) of light sources (13) and a second reflector (12) for forming a second pattern on the surface (16), arranged concentrically around the first pattern. A controller (44) controls the first and second arrays (10) of light sources (13) to apply a cyclic function thereby to define one or more radially propagating rings or partial rings of illumination on the surface (16). This is enables a dynamic ripple lighting effect to be provided on the surface (16).

A LED luminaire (100, 200, 300, 400, 500) is provided. The LED luminaire (100, 200, 300, 400, 500) comprises a LED light source (102) arranged to emit light into a light guide (104), the light guide (104) is arranged to guide the light from the LED light source (102) to a light out-coupling element (106). A reflector (108) forms a partly enclosed space (110) and comprises a slot (112), wherein the light guide (104) extends through the slot (112), the light out-coupling element (106) is arranged in the partly enclosed space (110) of the reflector (108), and the LED light source (102) is arranged outside the partly enclosed space (110) of the reflector (108) wherein the reflector (108) is arranged such that light exiting the reflector (108) has an angle different from zero with respect to a propagation direction of light in the light guide (104). This provides for a compact LED luminaire.
