Abstract
An LED luminaire includes an LED engine system that drives a plurality of interchangeable LED modules. The LED engine system may be arranged in a luminaire housing. The LED engine system includes a power plate assembly and a plurality of LED modules that are removable and interchangeable with respect to the power plate assembly. The LED engine system is customizable or modifiable to vary the light output therefrom, in that various types of LED modules may be utilizable therewith and one or more of the LED modules may be mounted to the power plate assembly at two or more orientations.
Claims20
An LED engine system, comprising:
- a power plate assembly having a plate, a frame secured on a front face of the plate, and a power distribution circuit arranged on a rear face of the plate, wherein the power distribution circuit is configured to distribute electricity to a plurality of mounting locations defined by the frame on the front face of the plate;
- and
- one or more LED modules attach within the plurality of mounting locations, wherein the one or more LED modules are configured to be mounted within the mounting locations when oriented in at least two positions.
An LED engine system, comprising:
- a power plate assembly having a plate, a frame secured on a front face of the plate, and a power distribution circuit arranged on a rear face of the plate, wherein the power distribution circuit is configured to distribute electricity in parallel to a plurality of mounting locations defined by the frame on the front face of the plate;
- a driver for supplying power to the power distribution circuit;
- and
- one or more LED modules attach within the plurality of mounting locations, wherein the one or more LED modules are configured to be mounted within the mounting locations when oriented in at least two positions.
An LED engine system, comprising:
- a power plate assembly having a plate, a power distribution circuit arranged on a rear face of the plate and having a plurality of parallel circuits, a plurality of electrical coupling pairs arranged within the plate and in communication with the power distribution circuit, and a frame secured on a front face of the plate and defining a plurality of mounting locations, wherein at least two of the electrical coupling pairs are associated with each of the mounting locations and the power distribution circuit is configured to distribute electricity to the at least two electrical coupling pairs of each mounting location in parallel;
- a constant voltage driver for supplying power to the power distribution circuit;
- and
- one or more LED modules attach within the plurality of mounting locations, wherein each of the LED modules includes a pair of asymmetrical power pins configured to mate with the electrical coupling pairs when the LED module is oriented in one of at least two positions.
