International Classification:

F21V 29/00

US Classification:

362294, 36231102, 36231104, 36231105, 362241, 313498, 313113

Abstract:

Embodiments of a lighting apparatus with a light source using one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs) to generate light. In one embodiment, the lighting apparatus comprises a light diffusing assembly that generates an optical intensity profile consistent with incandescent lamps. The light diffusing assembly comprises an envelope and a reflector element having frusto-conical member and an aperture element disposed therein. The lighting apparatus can also comprise a heat dissipating assembly with a plurality of heat dissipating elements disposed annularly about the envelope. In one example, the heat dissipating elements are spaced apart from the envelope to promote convective heat dissipation.

B23P 11/00
F21V 13/00

US Classification:

362235, 36224902, 29428

Abstract:

A lighting device that uses one or more LEDs, an optical element (e.g, diffuser), and a heat sink to provide thermal management is provided. The overall shape of the lighting device, particularly the heat sink, can be configured to imitate the appearance of a traditional incandescent candelabra lamp. One or more features are also provided to assist with the conduction of heat away from the LED(s) and to the heat sink. The lighting device can provide improved lumen output and light distribution.

US Classification:

313 46, 313113

Abstract:

Embodiments of a lighting apparatus with a light source using one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs) to generate light. In one embodiment, the lighting apparatus comprises a light diffusing assembly that generates an optical intensity profile consistent with incandescent lamps. The light diffusing assembly comprises an envelope and a reflector element having frusto-conical member and an aperture element disposed therein. The lighting apparatus can also comprise a heat dissipating assembly with a plurality of heat dissipating elements disposed radially about the envelope. In one example, the heat dissipating elements are spaced apart from the envelope to promote convective heat dissipation.

International Classification:

G06T 7/40
G06K 9/46
H05B 33/08
H04N 7/18

Abstract:

A lighting apparatus includes a vision system configured to receive light from a scene and produce a digital image; a controller coupled to the vision system and configured to receive the digital image and produce a plurality of color signals; a driver coupled to the controller and configured to receive the plurality of color signals and produce a plurality of drive signals; and a lamp assembly coupled to the driver and configured to receive the plurality of drive signals and produce light having a color spectrum corresponding to the plurality of drive signals. The controller is configured to derive color information from the digital image and adjust the color signals based at least in part on the derived color information.
