## Abstract

An outdoor lighting device is disclosed having a vertical stand and a curved rigid housing disposed about a top of the stand coupled to a power source, wherein the curved housing has a curved planar surface having a radius of curvature. The curved housing has an outside side and an inner side, the inner side having a curved COB LED assembly with a radius of curvature that is substantially the same as the radius of curvature of the housing. A gear is coupled to the stand and the curved housing and is configured to permit the curved housing to be rotated 360 degrees radially with respect to the stand and 90 degrees vertically with respect to the stand.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An outdoor lighting device, comprising:
a vertical stand;
a curved rigid housing disposed about a top of the stand coupled to a power source, wherein the curved housing comprises a curved planar surface having a radius of curvature;
the curved housing comprising an outside side and an inner side, the inner side comprising a curved COB LED assembly having a radius of curvature that is substantially the same as the radius of curvature of the housing;
a gear coupled to the stand and the curved housing configured to permit the curved housing to be rotated 360 degrees radially with respect to the stand and 90 degrees vertically with respect to the stand.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The outdoor lighting device of claim 1, wherein the lighting device comprises a single curved housing coupled to the gear about a center of the inner side of the curved housing.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The outdoor lighting device of claim 1, wherein the lighting device comprises a single curved housing coupled to the gear about an end of the inner side of the curved housing.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The outdoor lighting device of claim 1, wherein the lighting device comprises a first COB LED assembly disposed about an interior of the curved housing and a second COB LED assembly disposed about an edge of the curved housing.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The outdoor lighting device of claim 4, wherein the second COB LED assembly comprises an arc disposed about an edge of the curved housing, the arc comprising a radius of curvature substantially similar to the radius of curvature of the curved housing.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The outdoor lighting device of claim 4, wherein the second COB LED assembly is oriented about the curved housing such that a face of the second COB LED assembly is substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal length of the curved housing.

### Claim 7 (depends on 4)

The outdoor lighting device of claim 4, wherein the second COB LED assembly is oriented about the curved housing such that a face of the second COB LED assembly is disposed at an angle that is not normal to a longitudinal length of the curved housing.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The outdoor lighting device of claim 1, wherein the light source comprises a plurality of COB LED assemblies.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The outdoor lighting device of claim 8, wherein a first of the plurality of COB LED assemblies disposed about a first interior end of the curved housing and a second of the plurality of COB LED assemblies is disposed about a second interior end of the curved housing.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The outdoor lighting device of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of curved housings.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The outdoor lighting device of claim 1, further comprising a solar panel coupled to the stand and electrically coupled to the COB LED assembly.

### Claim 12

An outdoor lighting device, comprising:
a vertical stand;
a first and a second curved rigid housing disposed about a top of the stand, wherein the first and second curved housings comprise a curved planar surface, each having a similar radius of curvature;
the curved housings comprising an outside side and an inner side, the inner side comprising a curved COB LED assembly having a radius of curvature that is substantially the same as the radius of curvature of the housings;
a gear coupled to the stand and the curved housing configured to permit the curved housing to be rotated 360 degrees radially with respect to the stand and 90 degrees vertically with respect to the stand.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The outdoor lighting device of claim 12, wherein the first and second housings are coupled together by the gear and are independently moveable with respect to one another about a vertical axis with respect to the stand.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The outdoor lighting device of claim 13, wherein the first and second housings are jointly rotatable radially with respect to the stand.

### Claim 15 (depends on 12)

The outdoor lighting device of claim 12, wherein each of the first and second housings comprises a first curved COB LED assembly and a second curved COB LED assembly.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The outdoor lighting device of claim 15, wherein the first curved COB LED assembly of each housing is disposed about an interior of each of the curved housings and the second curved COB LED assembly of each housing is disposed about an exterior edge of each of the curved housings.
