The hand held flat flash light about the size of a cell phone with a 1 degree lens collimator, a rechargeable battery contained in the body, an on/off switch and one or more LED's that emit a high energy beam of light or spot light.

An optic configuration including a PCBA with one or more LEDs mounted thereon to emit light through a lens and a reflector. The optic configuration may be assembled within a cavity of a lighting fixture. At least a portion of the emitted light may be subtended by the lens, such that the lens may subtend light through a number of regions (e.g., three distinct regions). At least a portion of the emitted light may be subtended by the reflector, such that the reflector may subtend light from a number of surfaces (e.g., four surfaces). At least a portion of the light subtended by the lens may further be subtended by the reflector. The light subtended by the lens and/or the reflector may form a beam pattern including a high intensity spot portion and a lower intensity flood portion.

At this point, an optical axis of one among the plurality of light sources, the plurality of primary light collectors, and the secondary light collector is disposed to be different from the other two.

A device for generating a laser line on a work plane includes a first laser light source configured to generate a first raw laser beam, a second laser light source configured to generate a second raw laser beam, and an optical arrangement configured to reshape the first raw laser beam to form a first illumination beam with a first caustic and a first beam profile, and reshape the second raw laser beam to form a second illumination beam with a second caustic and a second beam profile. The first illumination beam and the second illumination beam are directed with overlap on the work plane and define a joint illumination direction. The first beam profile and the second beam profile jointly form the laser line on the work plane. The optical arrangement is configured to position the first caustic and the second caustic offset from one another in the illumination direction.

A light projection lens includes: an inner surface which light emitted from a light source enters, and includes a first concave portion; and an outer surface from which the light exits. In a cross section parallel to an optical axis of the light emitted from the light source, the outer surface and the first concave portion have a difference in radius of curvature in at least a portion of the outer surface and the first concave portion. In a cross section perpendicular to the optical axis of the light emitted from the light source, the first concave portion has an elliptical shape. The light which exits from the outer surface is lesser in amount in an optical axis direction of the light emitted from the light source than in a direction different from the optical axis direction.

A dynamic light source for a display is disclosed. The dynamic light source comprises a first light source located inside a first device; and a second light source. The first device is configured to allow light from the first light source to exit the first device in a first cone of angles and to reflect light incident outside the cone of angles back towards the first light source. The first device is configured such that injected light from the second light source is reflected by the first light source in a second cone of angles substantially coincident with the first cone of angles and that light output by the first device from the second light source is attenuated more than light output by the first light source, and an amount of attenuation is based on an intended dynamic power range of the dynamic light source.

The optical assembly disclosed in the embodiment includes a housing having an inclined bottom surface, a plurality of inner surfaces around an outer periphery of the bottom surface, and a receiving space in which an upper portion is opened; and a lighting module disposed on the inclined bottom surface, wherein the lighting module includes a substrate inclinedly disposed on the inclined bottom surface; at least one light emitting device disposed on the substrate; and a resin layer sealing the light emitting device and the substrate, wherein an upper surface of the resin layer emits light by diffusing light emitted from the light emitting device, wherein the plurality of inner surfaces includes a first inner surface adjacent to the light emitting device, a second inner surface facing the first inner surface, and third and fourth inner surfaces facing each other and disposed between the first and second inner surfaces, wherein a height between the bottom surface of the housing and an upper surface of the housing increases from the first inner surface toward the second inner surface, and decreases from the third inner surface toward the fourth inner surface.

A forward projecting condensing and collimating optical platform enables the ability to more effectively utilize the light generated from a Lambertian light source. The optical system can effectively utilize light emitted from a 120-degree source viewing angle over a substantially large extended field of view. The optical system can project a high intensity light in a smaller packaging envelope. The optical design can be used for generation of hi-Intensity spot beams, fog lamps, head lamp low beams, head lamps, hi beams, a driving beam, and the like, while operating at a lower power input to equivalent optical systems.

A high-efficiency lamp, emitting light from a front surface, and having a high-efficiency light source, producing a first light beam. An iris assembly has an annular body that defines a first annulus and has iris blades which can be extended into the annulus to form a second, smaller, annulus. This iris assembly is positioned relative to the light source so that the iris blades are in front of the high-efficiency light source. The annular body and therefore the first annulus have finite depth from back to front. A light guide is placed immediately behind the iris blades and defines a channel that is open at its back and its front and has a reflective interior surface, with the open back being transversely coincident to the light source so that light from the light source can travel through the channel to and out from the open front.
