Abstract
In some embodiments, a lighting assembly including at least one light-emitting device positioned within a housing is disclosed, wherein the housing is designed to allow an ambient environment to pass into the housing and transfer heat from the at least one light-emitting device. The light-emitting area of the light-emitting device may be sealed from the ambient environment. In some embodiments, the housing may include at least one recess, port, or other opening configured to allow a liquid or gas to promote heat transfer from the light-emitting device. In some embodiments, a vehicle, a marine system, or other systems may include at least one lighting assembly as contemplated herein.
Claims21
A lighting assembly, comprising:
- a housing;
- at least one chip-on-board light-emitting device comprising a metal substrate and a light-emitting area bonded to at least a portion of the metal substrate;
- wherein:
- the at least one chip-on-board light-emitting device is positioned at least partially within the housing;
- the housing includes at least one port configured to allow an ambient environment to contact the metal substrate;
- the light-emitting area of the at least one chip-on-board light-emitting device is sealed from the ambient environment.
A marine system, comprising:
- A marine vehicle;
- At least one lighting assembly attached to the marine vehicle, wherein the at least one lighting assembly comprises:
- a housing;
- at least one chip-on-board light-emitting device comprising a metal substrate and a light-emitting area bonded to at least a portion of the metal substrate;
- wherein
- the at least one chip-on-board light-emitting device is positioned at least partially within the housing;
- the housing includes at least one port configured to allow an ambient environment to contact the metal substrate;
- the light-emitting area of the at least one chip-on-board light-emitting device is sealed from the ambient environment.
