Abstract
A light strip that includes a housing with an elongated shape. A tray is attached to the housing and is positioned in the housing. An LED assembly is mounted to the tray and includes LED elements that emit light outward away from the tray. An elongated lens with a central section is configured to extend over the LED assembly. Inner end caps are positioned at ends of the lens with the inner ends caps being light-transmissive. Outer end caps are positioned at ends of the housing outward from the inner end caps with the outer end caps being opaque.
Claims20
A light strip comprising:
- a housing with an elongated shape having first and second ends;
- a tray mounted to the housing;
- an LED assembly comprising LEDs that emit light outward away from the housing and the tray, the LED assembly comprising an elongated shape with a first end positioned at the first end of the housing and a second end positioned at the second end of the housing;
- light engine circuitry connected to the LED assembly;
- a lens with an elongated shape that extends along the housing and is positioned over the LED assembly;
- and
- a first end cap mounted at a first end of the lens and a second end cap mounted at a second end of the lens, the first and second end caps configured to allow light to pass from the LED assembly and be emitted outward beyond the first and second ends of the housing.
A light strip comprising:
- a housing comprising a back wall and a pair of lateral side walls that extend outward from the back wall, the housing having a channel that extends between the lateral side walls and having a longitudinal axis;
- a tray attached to the housing and positioned in the channel, the tray comprising feet that extend laterally inwardly towards a center of the channel and away from the lateral side walls;
- an LED assembly mounted to the tray and comprising LED elements that emit light outward away from the tray;
- an elongated lens with a central section configured to extend over the LED assembly and lateral sections on opposing sides of the central section and configured to engage with the tray, the lateral sections comprising an indent that opens outward and is sized to receive the feet of the tray to connect the lens to the housing;
- and
- end caps mounted to ends of the housing.
A light strip comprising:
- a housing with an elongated shape that extends along a longitudinal axis, the housing comprising a channel;
- a tray attached to the housing and positioned in the channel;
- an LED assembly mounted to the tray and comprising LED elements that emit light outward away from the tray;
- an elongated lens with a central section configured to extend over the LED assembly;
- inner end caps positioned at ends of the lens, the inner ends caps being light-transmissive;
- and
- outer end caps positioned at ends of the housing and along the longitudinal axis of the housing outward from the inner end caps, the outer end caps being opaque.
