Abstract
An LED-based light has an elongate housing having a longitudinal axis and a vertical axis, the housing defined by a base and two canted outer walls meeting opposite the base, the housing defining a cavity. An LED circuit board on which a plurality of LEDs are located is positioned within the cavity. End caps are positioned at opposite ends of the housing.
Claims22
An LED-based light, comprising:
- an elongate tubular housing having longitudinal axis and a vertical axis orthogonal to the longitudinal axis,
- wherein the housing defines an outer periphery of the LED-based light and a cavity,
- wherein the housing comprises a base, a first canted outer wall, and a second canted outer wall, and
- wherein a surface of each of the base, the first canted outer wall, and the second canted outer wall defines a substantially identical arced profile in cross-section orthogonal to the longitudinal axis;
- a LED circuit board positioned within the cavity;
- a plurality of LEDs positioned on the LED circuit board;
- end caps positioned at opposite ends of the housing, wherein each end cap comprises:
- an open end configured to receive a respective end of the housing,
- a closed end comprising a first surface and a second surface encircling the first surface, wherein each of the first surface and the second surface are tapered longitudinally towards the open end, and
- a bi-pin connector protruding from the closed end,
- wherein each end cap defines a first corner, a second corner, and a third corner, and wherein for each end cap, a tapering of the first surface and the second surface is greatest in a region proximate to the first corner.
