- the present application relates to the art of LED lighting systems. It finds particular application in the light packages traditionally employed in an incandescent light source and will be described with particular reference thereto. Those skilled in the art will appreciate the applicability of the present invention to the applications where a use of an LED light source in a traditional bulb light package can provide advantages such as increased durability, light output stability and energy savings.
- incandescent light bulb packages utilize a light source that includes an incandescent filament within a glass enclosure.
- the incandescent filaments are fragile and tend to gradually degrade during lifetime of a bulb causing the useful light output generated by the filaments to decrease over time. The increasing fragility of the filament with age eventually leads to breakage.
- Typical incandescent light bulbs have a mean life of 500 to 4,000 hours.
- LEDs Light emitting diodes
- a low-power, solid-state LED light could last up to 100,000 hours (eleven years), far outdistancing the life of a typical incandescent bulb. When the LED degrades to half of its original intensity after 100,000 hours, it continues operating with a diminished output. In the state of operation with the diminished output, the LEDs are still ten times more energy-efficient than incandescent bulbs, and about twice as efficient as fluorescent lamps. Besides producing little heat and being energy-efficient, LEDs are solid-state devices with no moving parts. LEDs characteristics do not change significantly with age, and they are not easily damaged by shock or vibration. This makes LED lighting systems very reliable. The small shape and low heat generated by the LEDs enables lighting systems to take on various shapes and sizes.
- LED lighting systems have been limited because the consumers are accustomed to seeing and purchasing the traditional bulb lights.
- the number of various bulb light packages on the market is tremendous.
- the packages differ in luminescent levels, color temperatures, electrical requirements, and other characteristics.
- One approach has been to directly retrofit the LED into the existing light package.
- the single LED does not produce the light output of the same optical characteristics as each existing incandescent bulb lamp.
- the LEDs emit highly directional light resulting in a narrow light angle and require different input power.
- the present invention provides a new LED lamp.
- a light source generates light of one of a plurality of wavelengths.
- the light engine includes a platform and at least one LED disposed on the platform.
- An enclosure surrounds a light generating area of the light engine.
- a base includes a heat sink for conducting thermal energy away from the at least one LED.
- the light engine is mounted onto a heat sink.
- a conversion circuit supplies electric power to the light engine.
- One advantage of the present application resides in providing a common light engine that is used across various bulb platforms.
- Another advantage resides in providing an adaptable and scalable LED lamp design.

Abstract
Description
- The present application relates to the art of LED lighting systems. It finds particular application in the light packages traditionally employed in an incandescent light source and will be described with particular reference thereto. Those skilled in the art will appreciate the applicability of the present invention to the applications where a use of an LED light source in a traditional bulb light package can provide advantages such as increased durability, light output stability and energy savings.
- Typically, incandescent light bulb packages utilize a light source that includes an incandescent filament within a glass enclosure. However, the incandescent filaments are fragile and tend to gradually degrade during lifetime of a bulb causing the useful light output generated by the filaments to decrease over time. The increasing fragility of the filament with age eventually leads to breakage. Typical incandescent light bulbs have a mean life of 500 to 4,000 hours.
- Light emitting diodes (LEDs) present an attractive alternative as a light source in a light bulb package. A low-power, solid-state LED light could last up to 100,000 hours (eleven years), far outdistancing the life of a typical incandescent bulb. When the LED degrades to half of its original intensity after 100,000 hours, it continues operating with a diminished output. In the state of operation with the diminished output, the LEDs are still ten times more energy-efficient than incandescent bulbs, and about twice as efficient as fluorescent lamps. Besides producing little heat and being energy-efficient, LEDs are solid-state devices with no moving parts. LEDs characteristics do not change significantly with age, and they are not easily damaged by shock or vibration. This makes LED lighting systems very reliable. The small shape and low heat generated by the LEDs enables lighting systems to take on various shapes and sizes.
- A widespread use of the LED lighting systems have been limited because the consumers are accustomed to seeing and purchasing the traditional bulb lights. The number of various bulb light packages on the market is tremendous. In addition to the unique cosmetic appearance, the packages differ in luminescent levels, color temperatures, electrical requirements, and other characteristics. One approach has been to directly retrofit the LED into the existing light package. However, the single LED does not produce the light output of the same optical characteristics as each existing incandescent bulb lamp. In addition, the LEDs emit highly directional light resulting in a narrow light angle and require different input power.
- The present invention provides a new LED lamp.
- According to one aspect of the application, a light source is disclosed. A light engine generates light of one of a plurality of wavelengths. The light engine includes a platform and at least one LED disposed on the platform. An enclosure surrounds a light generating area of the light engine. A base includes a heat sink for conducting thermal energy away from the at least one LED. The light engine is mounted onto a heat sink. A conversion circuit supplies electric power to the light engine.
- One advantage of the present application resides in providing a common light engine that is used across various bulb platforms.
- Another advantage resides in providing an adaptable and scalable LED lamp design.
- Still further advantages and benefits of the present invention will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art upon reading and understanding the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments.
- The invention may take form in various components and arrangements of components, and in various steps and arrangements of steps. The drawings are only for purposes of illustrating the preferred embodiments and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.

FIGS. 5 and 6 , thelighting system 10 includes a wavelength converting material such as organic or inorganic phosphor. The phosphor can be located in any suitable location, such as integrated into theLED 12, at alight guide 36, coated inside or outside thecover 22, contained within thecover 22, or a combination thereof. - In one embodiment, the
enclosure 22 includes transparent organic phosphors which are preferably coated on an inside, or outside surface of theenclosure 22, or a combination thereof. It is also contemplated that the phosphors can be dissolved, melted, coextruded, or dispersed by any other means within the walls forming theenclosure 22. Preferably, the phosphor distribution is uniform. In one embodiment, the phosphor distribution is non uniform to create preselected patterns, figures, special visual effects of different colors, and other effects. It is also contemplated that both transparent and conventional non-transparent phosphors can be used to create special effects, patterns, or figures. In one embodiment, theenclosure 22 is frosted or otherwise treated to provide special visual effects. Examples of the organic transparent phosphors are the BASF Lumogen F dyes such as Lumogen F Yellow 083, Lumogen F Orange 240, Lumogen F Red 300, and Lumogen F Violet 570. Of course, it is also contemplated that other phosphors such as the rare earth complexes with organic component described in the U.S. Pat. No. 6,366,033; quantum dot phosphors described in the U.S. Pat. No. 6,207,229; nanophosphors described in the U.S. Pat. No. 6,048,616, or other suitable phosphors can be used. - With continuing reference to
FIG. 5 , the UV light rays 40 are emitted by theLEDs 12 and converted into white orvisible light 42 by aphosphor 44. Thephosphor 44 preferably includes two or more phosphors to convert the emitted light 40 to thevisible light 42, although single component phosphors are embodied for saturated color light generation as well. Thevisible light 42 exits through theenclosure 22. In this embodiment, thephosphor mix 44 is disposed about or within alight guide 36 which is a planar panel disposed above theLED 12 such that the majority of the light rays 40 strike the panel. - With reference again to
FIG. 6 , thelight guide 36 is a filament which is disposed within theenclosure 22 to create a “filament-look” LED based lighting system. More specifically,phosphor 44 is applied directly to theLED 12 such that the emittedlight 40 is converted intovisible light 42 at theLED 12. Thevisible light 42 strikes thelight guide 36 and adapts the filament shape to simulate a “filament-look” light bulb. Alternatively, a suspended reflector may be used to simulate the filament shape. The reflector can be “wadded” tin foil, a coiled aluminized spring, or the like. Optionally, thelight guide 36 is a coiled fiber optic with surface, internal, or other diffusers, such as frustrated TIR (Total Internal Reflection) diffusers, to allow the light to escape at the desired locations. - The invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments. Modifications and alterations will occur to others upon a reading and understanding of the preceding detailed description. It is intended that the invention be construed as including all such modifications and alterations insofar as they come within the scope of the appended claims or the equivalents thereof.
