DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

(26) Before any embodiments of the present invention are explained in detail, it is to be understood that the application is not limited to some of the details of construction and the arrangement of component part set forth in the following description or illustrated by the following drawings. Further, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology used herein is for the purpose of description of the present invention and different embodiments thereof and should not be regarded as limiting but should encompass equivalents thereof.

(27) Referring now to the drawings, and more specifically to FIGS. 1 to 6, there is shown generally at 10 the dual LED light fixture of the present invention. The embodiment of the Dual LED light fixture described herein if of a circular shape, somewhat like a flat disc, but it is to be understood that the light fixture may have many different shapes and is not to be construed as being limited to this shape, As better illustrated in the sectional views of FIGS. 5 to 7, the dual LED light source is generally comprised of a lower LED light source housing 11 and an upper LED light source housing 12 isolated from one another by a division wall 13. A lower LED light source 14 mounted in the lower light source housing 11 to generate downlight through a diffuser plate assembly as described later. An upper LED light source 15 is mounted in the upper LED light source housing 12 about a circumferential side wall 16 of a large hub formation 17 to position the upper LED source 15 in the form of a circumferential LED light bar 18 spaced inwardly of an outer circumferential light transmitting outer side area 19. A transparent light conductive wall 20 of an optional upper light source rear cover plate 21 extends in the outer side area 19 when the optional rear cover plate 21 is installed by a user person and through which side light illumination is emitted. The optional back cover 21 is formed of transparent plastics material. An upper LED light source protective cover 61, formed of transparent plastics material, is also secured entirely about the upper LED light source 15 for protection and mounted about the hub region 17 and over the upper LED light source 15 and also spaced inwardly of the outer side area 19. The protective cover 61 has attachment flanges 61 to receive fasteners 49, see FIG. 4, to secure it to the outer surface 13 of the division wall as illustrated in FIG. 5.

(28) An LED power supply and control circuit 22 is mounted on a circuit board 38 secured in the LED light fixture and adapted for connection to a power source, which is the voltage supply wires commonly found in an electrical junction box, as will be described later with reference to FIGS. 9A to 9D. The LED power supply and control circuit 22 is mounted in a central protective ring 23 projecting from an outer surface 24 of the hub region 17 and configured to be housed into an open end of an electrical junction box when the dual LED light fixture is connected thereto, as illustrated. A protective cover 59 is secured over the protective ring 23 and through which power connecting leads emerge for connection to a power source.

(29) Referring to FIGS. 8A and 8B, there is illustrated the power supply and control circuitry 22. It consists essentially of a voltage converter and dimming circuit 25 supplied by a 120 volts household supply voltage leads found in a wall light switch junction box and connected to its input leads 26. The dimmer switch 27 is then mounted in the wall switch junction box to manually control the light intensity of the LED power sources 14 and 15, locally. The power supply and control circuit 22 further includes a lower driver current supply circuit 28 and an upper driver current supply circuit 28. The lower driver current supply circuit 28 supplies two sets of LED's 30, herein a first set 30 comprised of white LED's and a second set 30 comprised of color RGB LED's. Likewise, the upper driver current supply circuit 28 supplies two sets of LED's 31, herein a first set 31 comprised of white LED's and a second set 31 comprised of color LED's 31. The white and color LED's are connected in parallel as herein illustrated and mounted on heat conductive support rings 48 and 48, respectively as will be described herein below.

(30) As shown, a normally open NO switch 29 is connected between the two driver current supply circuits 28 and 28 at its switch outputs 37, 38, respectively, and when actuated to a closed on position, connects driver current to the upper LED light sets 31. Otherwise, the switch 29 is in a normal off position, as shown, and driver current is disconnected form the upper LED light sets 31. Therefore, when the switch is actuated to its closed on position, illumination from both the lower and upper LED light sources 14 and 15 is made possible.

(31) It is further contemplated, as schematically illustrated in FIGS. 1, 8A and 8B, that an application apt may be provided for download into a computerized wireless communicating device, such as a smart phone 35, shown in FIG. 1, to provide remote selective operation of both the lower and upper LED light sources by the use of an electronic switch, such as the MOSFET switch 29 illustrated in FIG. 8B. As shown, the MOSFET switch 29 is in a normally open condition with its gate 75 shown open at a non-conductive position wherein only the lower downlight is functional and the upper light source is deactivated. The apt in the smart phone 35 has a function which provides communication with a control circuit 76 through the internet 36 and is provided with a control transistor circuit 77 which provides a control voltage to the gate 75 of the MOSFET switch 29 to establish a conductive patch to the lower LED's output terminal 38 to permit operation and control of the upper and lower LED light sets 31 and 30, respectively.

(32) The apt may also have a mode of operation to allow the unit to automatically function at different times of the day and perform selected ones of pre-set functions to operate the LED's of the lower and upper light sources, such as combinations of light dimming and CCT control to create pre-set lighting features. It is pointed out that the apt can also have a function to also operate the dimming circuit 25 of the LED sets 30 and 31, typically between warm light (about 3000K CCT) and cold light (about 6500K CCT). The method of adjusting brightness and color temperature of LED's is known in the art wherein to create an adjustable light feature depending on a desired light mood to be generated by a light fixture. It is further pointed out that the electronic switch, herein the MOSFET 29 can also be controlled by a remote control wireless device, or by a device capable of operation using biometric data to identify a registered user person or even capacitive touch to the fixture is outed at an accessible location.

(33) In the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7, the switch 29 is a push-button switch mounted on a support board 37 and connected to the main printed circuit board pcb 38 which contains the power supply and control circuit 22. The push-button switch 29 has an actuating member in the form of a push-button post 39 spring biased outwards to its off state and which when pushed inwards effects a switch closure and places it to its on state to provide drive current to the upper led light source 15. A hole 40 is formed in the division wall 13 for alignment with, and providing access to, the push-button post 39 of the switch 29. The switch 29 is actuated by the upper light source optional rear cover plate 21, when installed at an upper end of the light fixture 10 and connected to the division wall 13 by screws 41, as shown in FIG. 4. The upper light source optional rear cover plate 21 is provided with a switch actuating post 42, projecting downward from an inner surface 43 of the cover plate 21 and aligned for contact with the upper end of the push-button post 39 to depress the push-button post 39 and close the switch. Accordingly, when the upper light source cover is installed, it establishes the connection for the supply of drive current, from the driver circuit 28, to the upper light source 15 by maintaining the switch in a closed on position.

(34) Referring again to FIGS. 5A to 7, and has can be better seen in FIG. 7, the lower light source housing 11 has a heat dissipator L-shaped metal ring 44 secured about the outer peripheral edge of the division wall 13 by screws 49. The heat dissipating ring 44 is L-shaped to define a flat top flat wall 45 for contact with the outer flat peripheral edge region 46 of the division wall 13 and a depending transverse outer flange 47 for clamping retention over a top edge of a heat conductive support ring 48 on which the light sets of LED's 30 are mounted. The heat conductive support ring 48 dissipates heat generated by the sets of LED's 30 when operative. The lower light source housing 11 has solid circumferential support frame 50 of L-shaped cross-section defining a circumferential opaque vertical side wall 51 which is engaged by inner clamp projections 51 over a circumferential outer edge of the heat dissipator metal ring 44.

(35) The solid circumferential support frame 50 also defines a transverse inwardly projecting support flange wall 52 to support a bottom light lens assembly comprised of a diffuser plate 53 on top of which is positioned a light guide plate 54 formed of transparent light conductive material to conduct light generated by the lower LED's 30 mounted on the inner face of the outer heat conductive support ring 48 and disposed in facial relationship with the outer circumferential edge of the light guide plate 54. A sheet 55 of reflective material is supported entirely over an outer surface of the light guide plate 54 to direct light downwards and above which is mounted a rigid foam material sheet 60 to provide a thermal barrier and which is supported spaced from the division wall 13 by a depending spacer flange 56 formed integral with the division wall 13.

(36) With reference to FIGS. 5A and 5B, there is shown a modification of the upper light housing wherein when the rear optional cover plate 21 is not installed, the outer open peripheral opened area 19, of the upper light source housing 12, can be shielded by mounting a solid opaque circumferential flat ring 57 about a top edge of the vertical side wall 51 of the lower support frame 50 to prevent any light from the lower light source 14 to escape. The ring is retained over and about the vertical side wall 51 by hook formations 58 secured to a lower end of its inner side wall 57 and disposed space apart and projecting downwards for frictional engagement with the inner face 51 of the top projecting portion 51 of the side wall 51, as herein illustrated.

(37) In a further embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5B, the switch 29 is provided in the form a slide button switch 29, instead of a push-button switch, and which is accessible at a convenient location on the top surface of the division wall and wherein the user person can simply move the slider 29 of the switch to an on position, as herein illustrated, whereby to provide connection for the supply of drive current to the upper LED's. The optional rear cover plate 21 is not required, with such embodiment as it does not require the installation of the rear cover plate 21. However, several options are made possible concerning the outer peripheral outer side area 19 of the upper light housing, wherein that area can be left open and unobstructed for light to escape and to light the surface of the ceiling and made visible behind the upper light housing 12 and giving the impression that the lower light source housing of the dual LED light fixture is floating below the ceiling.

(38) Another modification would be to make the circumferential flat ring 57 of transparent plastics material and secure it to the top edge of the sidewall 51 of the support frame 50 to provide illumination therethrough. A still further modification would be to make the rear cover plate 21 without the switch actuating post 42 and entirely of transparent plastics material. below the ceiling.

(39) Referring now to FIGS. 9A to 9D, there is described the installation of the dual LED light fixture 10 of the present invention. As herein shown a mounting plate 65 is provided and adapted for connection to a conventional recessed junction box 66 mounted behind a ceiling sheet material 67 as shown in FIG. 9D. The input leads 26 of the voltage converter and supply circuit 25 are herein shown connected to the junction box power leads 73 to provide power to the circuit for the operation of the LED's of the lower and upper housing of the light fixture 10. The mounting plate 65 has snap connectors 68 projecting downwardly and outwards therefrom and extend spaced from the outer surface 67 of the ceiling sheet material 67 when connected by screws 69 to the threaded hole provided in the junction box connecting flanges, as is well known in the art. Snap connector retention flange formations 70, as shown in FIG. 5, are secured to a top wall outer surface 24 of an upper projecting hub region 17 on which the LED light power supply and control circuit is mounted. The retention flange formations 70 are frictionally engaged and retained by the snap connectors 68 by moving the dual LED light fixture 10 upwards and against the outer surface 67 of the ceiling sheet material 67, as shown by arrow 72, with the retention flanges in off-set alignment with respective snap connectors and rotating the dual LED light fixture in a counter-clockwise direction, as shown by arrow 71, to cause rigid frictional engagement of the retention flanges 70 with the snap connectors 68.

(40) Having described herein above the concept of the dual LED light fixture of the present invention, incorporated in a flush-mounted ceiling LED light fixture, further embodiments of different types of LED light fixtures are now described below. The power supply and dimmer circuit, as well as the control circuit utilized to control the LED light sources, of the further embodiments is substantially the same as with the first embodiment described in detail above, and illustrated in FIGS. 8A and 8B, and will not be repeated for the reason of its obvious adaption into the structure of the further embodiments described below.
