Illumination device with uniform light beams
The invention relates to an illumination device comprising a group of first light sources, a plurality of optical lenses, a plurality of beam generating elements, where each of the beam generating elements is configured to collect the light of at least one first light source to generate a light beam of the collected light and to pass the generated light beam to one of the optical lenses, a group of second light sources, and a plurality of shielding elements, where each shielding element is arranged between at least one of the second light sources and one of the plurality of optical lenses in such a way that said at least one of the second light source illuminates only one of the plurality of optical lenses.
Curved light duct extraction
The present disclosure describes light delivery and distribution components of a ducted lighting system having a cross-section that includes at least one curved portion and a light source. The delivery and distribution system (that is, light duct and light duct extractor) can function effectively with any light source that is capable of delivering light which is substantially collimated about the longitudinal axis of the light duct, and which is also preferably substantially uniform over the inlet of the light duct.
Assembly for producing a plurality of beam bundles
The invention relates to a mirror assembly (1) for producing a plurality of beam bundles (K1, K2, . . . Kn) from the beam of a light source (L), wherein the plurality of beam bundles comprises at least one first beam bundle (K1) having a first main beam direction (SR1), a second beam bundle (K2) having a second main beam direction (SR2), and preferably further beam bundles (K3 . . . Kn) having further main beam directions, which mirror assembly comprises the following features: a first mirror segment (1a) having a first focal point (F1), which first mirror segment converts a first partial region of the beam (S1) of the light source into the first beam bundle (K1), a second mirror segment (1b) having a second focal point (F2), which second mirror segment converts a second partial region of the beam (S2) of the light source into the second beam bundle (K2), and preferably further mirror segments (1c) having further focal points (F3 . . . Fn), which further mirror segments convert further partial regions of the beam of the light source into further beam bundles (K3 . . . Kn), wherein the back side of the mirror segments has a curvature having the radius R_s, which curvature is concentric to the light source.
Illumination optical system with tunable beam angle
An illumination optical system with a tunable beam angle (IOSTBA) is presented to achieve different beam angles without changing parts. The IOSTBA includes a light source and a post having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end in optical communication with the light source, an internal area of the post having a reflective surface. Also shown is a diffuser disposed across the end of the post, the diffuser in optical communication with the post and a reflector surrounding a portion of the post, the reflector movable along a length of the post. A position of the reflector along the post determines a beam angle of a resulting light beam exiting the IOSTBA. The system features a simple and cost effective optical design which works with a variety of light sources, including color mixing and champing strategies.
LED LAMP WITH INTERNAL REFLECTOR
In a LED lamp having an optically transmissive enclosure and a base connected to the enclosure a plurality of LEDs are operable to emit light when energized through an electrical path from the base. A reflector has an enclosed wall shape and is disposed such that LEDs are mounted inside of and outside of the reflector. The reflector includes a reflective outer surface where in cross-section the reflective outer surface is disposed at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the lamp such that the reflective outer surface diverges away from the longitudinal axis as it extends away from the base. The reflective outer surface may be disposed at an angle of between approximately 83 and 89 degrees relative to the plane of the LEDs.
ILLUMINATING DEVICE
An illuminating device includes: first lenses individually corresponding to LEDs; a light control member including light transmission channels individually corresponding to the first lenses and a light blocker surrounding the light transmission channels; and second lenses individually corresponding to the light transmission channels. Each first lens includes a light concentrator for producing concentrated light by concentrating light emitted from a corresponding LED, and a reflector surrounding the light concentrator to produce reflected light by reflecting light emitted from the corresponding LED in a direction across the concentrated light. Each first lens outputs illumination light including the concentrated light and the reflected light produced from the corresponding light emitting diode. Each light transmission channel transmits the illumination light output from a corresponding first lens. The light blocker prevents transmission of the illumination light emitted from each first lens. Each second lens refracts the illumination light transmitted by a corresponding light transmission channel.
Configurable luminaires and components
A steerable illumination fixture includes an emitting source and a refractive optical system that steers an emitted beam by relative translation of the emitting source against the optical system. The light emitting source may be placed along an optical axis of one or more lenses to produce an output beam along that axis, or translated in-plane (orthogonal to the optical axis) relative to the lenses to produce a steered beam. The optical system may include refractive lenses or mixing channels and/or one or more baffles with apertures. A round, uniform beam results that retains approximately the same power level and beam width as it is steered. A second lens having a diameter equal to or larger than a first lens may be provided and configured with an effective focal plane of the two lenses located approximately at the plane of the light emitting source.
INTEGRATED IN-SURFACE LENS ASSEMBLY
A seamless lighting arrangement for a vehicle panel. The vehicle panel has an inside surface and an outside surface. The vehicle panel has a light aperture extending from the inside surface of the vehicle panel to the outside surface of the vehicle panel. Connected to the inside surface of the vehicle panel is a bracket. The seamless lighting arrangement further includes a lens with a bracket connection portion that connects to the bracket and a transmission portion positioned within the light aperture of the vehicle panel. The lens further includes a light unit fixedly connected to the lens. The light unit has a projector port for emitting light from a light source. The light transmission portion of the lens has a light input surface region formed on an inside surface of the lens and a light output surface region formed on an outside surface of the lens.

The light emitting source may be placed along an optical axis of one or more lenses to produce an output beam along that axis, or translated in-plane (orthogonal to the optical axis) relative to the lenses to produce a steered beam. The optical system may include refractive lenses and in some embodiments mixing channels and/or one or more baffles with apertures. The design is typically optimized to produce a round, uniform beam that retains approximately the same power level and beam width as it is steered. It is beneficial, but not required, that a second lens have a diameter equal to or larger than a first lens. The lenses may be configured so that the effective focal plane of the two lenses together is located approximately at the plane of the light emitting source.
