Abstract
An embodiment of an LED luminaire assembly is provided. The LED luminaire assembly includes an LED assembly configured to emit light and a lens coupled to the LED assembly and forming a concavity facing the LED assembly. The lens includes a side wall forming an opening sized to receive at least part of the LED assembly and a bottom opposite the opening and coupled to the side wall. The side wall further includes one or more prisms positioned proximate the bottom and configured to direct the light emitted from the LED assembly away from the bottom.
Claims20
A light-emitting diode (LED) luminaire assembly, comprising:
- an LED assembly configured to emit light;
- and
- a lens coupled to the LED assembly and forming a concavity facing the LED assembly, the lens comprising:
- a side wall forming an opening sized to receive at least part of the LED assembly;
- and
- a bottom opposite the opening and coupled to the side wall,
- wherein the side wall further comprises one or more prisms positioned proximate the bottom and configured to direct light emitted from the LED assembly away from the bottom.
A lens for a light-emitting diode (LED) assembly, comprising:
- a side wall forming an opening sized to receive at least part of the LED assembly;
- and
- a bottom opposite the opening and coupled to the side wall,
- wherein the side wall and the bottom form a concavity facing the opening, and the side wall further comprises one or more prisms positioned proximate the bottom and configured to direct light emitted through the opening away from the bottom.
A method of fabricating a light-emitting diode (LED) luminaire assembly, including:
- providing an LED assembly configured to emit light and a lens, the lens including:
- a side wall forming an opening sized to receive at least part of the LED assembly;
- and
- a bottom opposite the opening and coupled to the side wall,
- wherein the side wall further includes one or more prisms formed proximate the bottom and configured to direct light emitted through the opening away from the bottom, the lens forming a concavity;
- and
- coupling the LED assembly with the lens by facing the concavity of the lens toward the LED assembly such that light emitted from the LED assembly is directed toward the bottom of the lens.
