Abstract
An underwater lamp with improved light distribution for underwater applications. The underwater lamp includes a circuit trace having non-coplanar circuit segments, LEDs mounted on the non-coplanar circuit segments so as to emit light in nonparallel directions, and a lens. The lens includes lens portions aligned with the LEDs on the circuit trace circuit segments. The lens may be a thermoplastic material encapsulating the LEDs and the circuit trace.
Claims15
An underwater lamp comprising:
- a substrate including a plurality of non-coplanar substrate portions, first selected ones of the substrate portions being nonparallel to one another;
- a plurality of light sources each supported by one of the substrate portions, whereby first selected ones of the light sources are non-coplanar, whereby the light sources supported by the first selected ones of the substrate portions are nonparallel to one another so that the light sources emit light in nonparallel directions;
- and
- a lens assembly overlying the light sources and the substrate, the lens assembly including a plurality of lens portions each over one of the light sources, there being substantially no air gap between the lens assembly and the light sources.

An underwater pool lamp comprising:
- a substrate including a plurality of non-coplanar substrate portions, first selected ones of the substrate portions being parallel to one another;
- a plurality of light sources each supported by one of the substrate portions, whereby the light sources supported by the first selected ones of the substrate portions are parallel to one another so that the light sources emit light in a parallel direction, second selected ones of the substrate portions being nonparallel to one another, whereby the light sources supported by the second selected ones of the substrate portions are nonparallel to one another so that the light sources emit light in nonparallel directions, further whereby corners, edges, and interior surfaces of a pool are more evenly illuminated;
- and
- a lens assembly overlying the light sources and the substrate, the lens assembly including a plurality of lens portions each over one of the light sources, there being substantially no air gap between the lens assembly and the light sources.
