Abstract
A lighting module is disclosed. The lighting module includes a light emitting diode (LED) light source, and a total internal reflection (TIR) optical assembly. The optical assembly includes a refractor configured to be located proximate to the LED light source, and a reflector configured to be attached to the refractor. The refractor is made from a material that is resistant to thermal damage when exposed to heat generated by the LED light source.
Claims25
A lighting module comprising:
- a light emitting diode (LED) light source;
- and
- a total internal reflection (TIR) optical assembly comprising:
- a refractor configured to be located proximate to the LED light source wherein the refractor includes an upper surface that comprises a plurality of corrugations, and
- a reflector configured to be attached to the refractor, wherein a lower surface of the reflector is adjacent at least a portion of the upper surface of the refractor and wherein the refractor is made from a material that is different than the reflector and provides at least a partial thermal barrier between the reflector and the LED light source.
