Abstract
A method for making an LED light bulb where the LED light bulb itself is molded into various shapes. The plastic lens used to surround the diode is shaped when manufactured to resemble various items, such as stars, crosses, hearts, trees, pinecones, bulbs, flat panels with designs, or any other shape the user desires. Because the entire light bulb is the LED, uniform and consistent light can be emitted from every part of the plastic lens that makes up the shaped LED light bulb, allowing the user to view the shaped LED light bulb from any angle. The shaped LED light bulb can be used individually, or strung together to form a strand of shaped lights.
Claims21
A method for creating shaped light emitting diodes comprising the steps of
- securing together two halves of a cavity mold, where a cavity is formed when the two halves of the cavity mold are secured together;
- pouring a resin into the cavity;
- placing a raw light emitting diode in the cavity;
- curing the resin;
- and
- separating the two halves of the cavity mold and removing the resulting shaped light emitting diode.
A method for creating shaped light emitting diodes comprising the steps of
- securing together two halves of a cavity mold, where a plurality of cavities are formed when the two halves of the cavity mold are secured together;
- pouring a resin into the plurality of cavities;
- placing a raw light emitting diode in each of the plurality of cavities;
- curing the resin;
- and
- separating the two halves of the cavity mold and removing the resulting shaped light emitting diodes.
A method for creating shaped light emitting diodes comprising the steps of
- securing together two halves of a plurality of cavity molds, where one or more cavities are formed when the two halves of each of the plurality of cavity molds are secured together, where the two halves of the plurality of cavity molds are aligned together by means of guide rods, where the guide rods run through the halves of the plurality of cavity molds;
- pouring a resin into the one or more cavities;
- placing a raw light emitting diode in each of the one or more cavities;
- curing the resin, where the resin is cured at least in arty by heating the plurality of cavity molds to a temperature of at least 130° C.;
- and
- separating the two halves of the plurality of cavity molds and removing the resulting shaped light emitting diodes.
