Abstract
A pole mounted lantern comprises a lantern housing mounted on a top of a pole. A slot extends through the lantern housing. A circuit board is located in the lantern housing and carries light emitting diodes (LEDs). A lens is associated with the lantern housing and circumscribes the LEDs. The circuit board has a portion extending to the slot and exposed to an exterior of the lantern housing and ambient conditions outside of the lantern housing. The circuit board is configured to conduct heat from the LEDs inside the lantern housing and out of the lantern housing through the slot.
Claims20
A pole mounted lantern, comprising:
- a) a vertical pole;
- b) a lantern housing mounted on a top of the vertical pole, the lantern housing having a bottom with a bore to receive the pole and a top;
- c) a slot extending through the lantern housing;
- d) a circuit board located at least partially in the lantern housing;
- e) light emitting diodes (LEDs) carried by the circuit board and located inside of the lantern housing;
- f) a lens associated with the lantern housing and circumscribing the LEDs, the lens being at least light translucent;
- and
- g) the circuit board having a portion extending to the slot and exposed to an exterior of the lantern housing and ambient conditions outside of the lantern housing, and configured to conduct heat from the LEDs inside the lantern housing and out of the lantern housing through the slot.
A pole mounted lantern, comprising:
- a) a vertical pole;
- b) a lantern housing mounted on a top of the vertical pole, the lantern housing having a cap;
- c) a lens forming a bottom of the lantern housing and having a bore to receive the pole, the lens being at last light translucent;
- d) at least one slot through the lantern housing between the cap and the lens;
- e) a member located at least partially in the lantern housing;
- f) light emitting diodes (LEDs) carried by the member and located inside of the lantern housing;
- and
- g) the member having a portion extending to the slot and exposed to an exterior of the lantern housing and ambient conditions outside of the lantern housing, and configured to conduct heat from the LEDs inside the lantern housing and out of the lantern housing through the slot.
A pole mounted lantern, comprising:
- a) a vertical pole;
- b) a lantern housing mounted on a top of the pole, the lantern housing having a cap;
- c) a lens forming a bottom of the lantern housing and having a bore to receive the pole, the lens being at last light translucent;
- d) a seam between the cap and the lens;
- e) one or more slots through the lantern housing formed by the seam around the lantern housing and facing in multiple outward directions;
- f) a circuit board located at least partially in the lantern housing, the circuit board comprising:
- i) an aperture;
- ii) a perimeter flange circumscribing the aperture;
- iii) inner tabs extending inwardly from the perimeter flange;
- and
- iv) the inner tabs being inclined at an angle with respect to the perimeter flange;
- g) a battery located in the lantern housing and extending from the lens to the cap, and extending through the aperture of the circuit board;
- h) light emitting diodes (LEDs) coupled to the battery and located on the inner tabs of the circuit board and located inside of the lantern housing;
- and
- i) the perimeter flange of the circuit board extending through the one or more slots, beyond a perimeter wall of the lantern housing, and exposed in the multiple outward directions to ambient conditions outside of the lantern housing, and configured to conduct heat from the LEDs inside the lantern housing and out of the lantern housing through the slot.
