Adjustable light shaping visor

A light shaping apparatus consisting of two or more components which may be die cast from aluminum, magnesium, or similar materials that are meant to be attached to existing LED venue lighting fixtures. These components are designed so that they can be rotated and adjusted on the fixture circumference/edge. A semi-circular snoot flares out slightly from the outer edge of the fixture to reflect light that would normally be absorbed by a visor. The snoot may include a reflector on its inside surface. The snoot has connection points that mate with the fixture. The snoot also has connection points which allow it to be connected to a semi-circular bowl spaded brow adapted for cutting into the beam of light and block some of light emitted from the fixture. The brow is preferably one piece and has multiple sets of thin shear lines cast into it such that the length of the brow can be modified by breaking off material along the shear lines.

The invention relates to a lighting device (1) comprising an LED strip (100) with an elongated carrier (110) having a first carrier surface (111) and an opposite second carrier surface (112), a plurality of light-emitting diodes (120) arranged on the second carrier surface (112), and a light-transmissive encapsulant (130) encapsulating the plurality of light-emitting diodes (120). The lighting device (1) is arranged to be mounted to a mounting surface (210) of an object (200). For this purpose, it comprises a first attachment component (150) arranged on a first outer surface (141) of the LED strip (100) and a second attachment component (160) arranged on a second outer surface (142) of the LED strip (100). The first and second attachment components (150; 160) are for attaching the lighting device (1) in first and second mounting orientations, respectively. Each light-emitting diode (120) is arranged to provide a light beam (121) with a light output axis (122) that intersects at least one of the first and second outer surfaces (141; 142). This results in a relatively large difference between the light outputs in the first and second mounting orientations, thereby potentially extending the range of different applications wherein the lighting device can be used.
