Abstract
Anti collision light for an aircraft includes a number of light emitting diodes (LEDs) arranged on a common plane. A reflecting arrangement is located above the plane and reflects the light emitted by the diodes in a sidewards direction. A surrounding reflecting arrangement can be provided around the diodes and an additional reflecting arrangement in form of a layer on the plane may also be utilized. This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
Claims43
An anti collision light for an aircraft, the anti collision light comprising:
- a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) arranged on a common plane;
- and
- at least one reflecting arrangement arranged above the plane for reflecting light emitted by the plurality of LEDs essentially perpendicular to the plane and in a sidewards direction.
An anti collision light for an aircraft, the anti collision light comprising:
- a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) mounted directly on a circuit board;
- a reflecting arrangement arranged above the circuit board for reflecting light emitted by the plurality of LEDs essentially perpendicular to a plane of the circuit board in a sidewards direction;
- and
- at least one of the plurality of LEDs being surrounded by a surrounding reflecting arrangement mounted on the circuit board and directing light emitted sidewardly by the at least one of the plurality of LEDs in a direction essentially perpendicular to the plane.
An anti collision light for an aircraft, the anti collision light comprising:
- a first plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) mounted directly on a first circuit board;
- a first reflecting arrangement arranged above the first circuit board for reflecting light emitted by the first plurality of LEDs essentially perpendicular to a plane of the first circuit board in a sidewards direction;
- at least one of the first plurality of LEDs being surrounded by a first surrounding reflecting arrangement mounted on the first circuit board and directing light emitted sidewardly by the at least one of the first plurality of LEDs in a direction essentially perpendicular to the plane of the first circuit board;
- a second plurality of LEDs mounted directly on a second circuit board;
- a second reflecting arrangement arranged above the second circuit board for reflecting light emitted by the second plurality of LEDs essentially perpendicular to a plane of the second circuit board in a sidewards direction;
- and
- at least one of the second plurality of LEDs being surrounded by a second surrounding reflecting arrangement mounted on the second circuit board and directing light emitted sidewardly by the at least one of the second plurality of LEDs in a direction essentially perpendicular to the plane of the second circuit board.
