Abstract
A system for focusing light on an illumination area. The system includes a reflector having a focusing reflective surface and a focal region and an LED array having a plurality of LEDs located within the focal region. Each of the plurality of LEDs in the LED array is positioned to emit light toward the focusing reflective surface. The focusing reflective surface reflects light from each of the plurality of LEDs of the LED array toward the illumination area.
Claims23
A system for focusing light on an illumination area comprising:
- a reflector having a focusing reflective surface and a focal region;
- and
- a first light-emitting diode (LED) array comprising a plurality of LEDs located within the focal region, each of the plurality of LEDs of the first LED array being positioned to emit light toward the focusing reflective surface;
- wherein the focusing reflective surface reflects light from each of the plurality of LEDs of the first LED array toward the illumination area.

A system for focusing light on an illumination area comprising:
- a reflector having a focusing reflective surface and a focal region;
- a core to dissipate heat, the core having a mounting surface oriented toward the focusing reflective surface;
- a substrate located within the focal region, secured to the mounting surface and facing toward the reflector;
- and
- a first light-emitting diode (LED) array comprising a plurality of LEDs that are surface-mounted on the substrate and positioned to emit light in the direction of the focusing reflective surface;
- wherein the focusing reflective surface reflects light from each of the plurality of LEDs of the first LED array toward the illumination area.
