| 20100237790 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SELECTIVELY DIMMING AN LED - Embodiments of the present disclosure include an LED ballast circuit for dimming one or more LEDs using a phase controlled dimmer switch. The LED ballast circuit has a power conditioning unit which includes a substantially fixed duty cycle clock for outputting a clock cycle and a transformer configured to store energy and discharge a substantial portion of the stored energy once per clock cycle in order to power one or more LEDs. The LED ballast circuit and load collectively behave like a resistor. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20100226139 | LED-BASED LIGHT ENGINE - An LED-based luminaire employs an LED module mounted to a housing. The LED module is advantageously configured to transmit heat generated by the LEDs across and/or through the module and to the housing for dispersal to the environment. LED modules can be configured with conductive or non-conductive cores, and may be configured to evacuate heat from one or both faces of the LED module. Further, multiple heat paths can be defined from components on an LED module to the housing and to the environment. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20100087118 | MOUNTING ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD FOR LIGHT EMITTING DIODES - A modular light emitting diode (LED) mounting configuration is provided including a light source module having a plurality of pre-packaged LEDs arranged in a serial array. The module includes a heat conductive body portion adapted to conduct heat generated by the LEDs to an adjacent heat sink. As a result, the LEDs are able to be operated with a higher current than normally allowed. Thus, brightness and performance of the LEDs is increased without decreasing the life expectancy of the LEDs. The LED modules can be used in a variety of illumination applications employing one or more modules. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20090086488 | LED luminaire - A modular light emitting diode (LED) mounting configuration is provided including a light source module having a plurality of pre-packaged LEDs arranged in a serial array. The module is connected to a heat dissipating plate configured to mount to an electrical junction box. Thus, heat from the LEDs is conducted to the heat dissipating plate and to the junction box. A sensor is configured to detect environmental parameters and a driver is configured to illuminate the LEDs in response to the environmental parameters, thereby selectively configuring the LEDs to function in a wide variety of useful applications. | 04-02-2009 |
