Abstract
The present disclosure provides an LED based light unit that produces an output lighting pattern that meets desired lighting characteristics using a reduced number of LED elements. The present disclosure provides a number of point sources that are directed into a desired direction such that, when combined with other point sources, a synthesized light output is provided that minimizes the LED headcount.
Claims21
-34. (canceled)
A light assembly, comprising:
- a plurality of mounting surfaces comprising surfaces having a plurality of corresponding angles relative to a first plane that is parallel to a surface that is to be illuminated by the light assembly,
- the plurality of mounting surfaces comprising at least a first set of mounting surfaces and a second set of mounting surfaces, wherein the first set of mounting surfaces have smaller angles, on average, relative to a second plane than the second set of mounting surfaces, wherein the second plane is perpendicular to the first plane;
- and
- wherein at least a subset of the first and second sets of mounting surfaces comprises one or more solid state light elements and wherein an angular intensity of light output associated with at least a subset of each of the first and second sets of mounting surfaces is determined based on an angle of the associated mounting surface relative to the first plane, the second plane, the surface that is to be illuminated by the light assembly, or a combination thereof.
1 more element
The light assembly of claim 53, wherein:
- the first illumination pattern is larger than the second illumination pattern;
- the first illumination pattern is smaller than the second illumination pattern;
- the first illumination pattern is offset from the second illumination pattern;
- or
- the first illumination pattern is the same as the second illumination pattern.
