Abstract
The instant invention is directed to a light emitting diode pool or spa lamp bulb having at least one light emitting diode with at least one lens body that is optically clear. The at least one light emitting diode being embedded in the lens body, the lens body being in direct contact with the pool or spa.
Claims51
A light emitting diode pool or spa lamp bulb, comprising:
- an at least one light emitting diode;
- an at least one unitary, parabolic lens body that is optically clear with the at least one light emitting diode embedded in the at least one unitary, parabolic lens body, the lens body being in direct contact with the pool or spa;
- and
- an at least one controller coupled to a printed circuit board, the printed circuit board coupled to and mounting the at least one light emitting diode.
A pool or spa light, the light being recessed in an alcove in the wall or floor of the pool or spa, the light comprising:
- a plurality of light emitting diodes;
- a printed circuit board having the plurality of light emitting diodes planted thereon;
- an at least one unitary lens body, the lens body comprised of an optically transmissive material that encapsulates the plurality of light emitting diodes and the printed circuit board;
- and
- an electrical coupling that couples the multiple light emitting diodes to a power source, wherein the printed circuit board and plurality of light emitting diodes are encapsulated in the lens body and oriented to face into the pool or spa such that no gap or air space is provided and when the lens body is submerged in the pool or spa the multiple light emitting diodes are in direct contact with the lens body which is directly cooled by the pool or spa.
The pool or spa light of claim, wherein the printed circuit board mounts the at least one controller thereon.
A method of manufacturing an light emitting diode spa or pool bulb, comprising the method steps of:
- setting a plurality of light emitting diodes on a printed circuit board in a in a lens body parabolic mold;
- adding water clear encapsulating material to the lens body mold to encapsulate all electrical components with an electrical coupling at the back of the mold;
- and
- ejecting the completed light emitting diode bulb.
A pool or spa light mounted within a pool or spa comprising:
- an at least one lens body;
- at least one light emitting diode embedded and extending at least partially from the at least one lens body;
- a mounting cavity within the pool or spa having the lens body mounted therein;
- an at least one covering lens mounted in front of the at least one lens body to form a water filled cavity, the at least one covering lens having an at least one water inlet and an at least one water outlet, wherein water is induced into and out of the cavity by a convective current generated from the cooling of heat generated by the at least one light emitting diode.
