Abstract
A lighting system generally includes a plurality of electrically interconnected modules. Each module includes a support, circuitry on the support, at least two light emitting diodes (“LEDs”) on the support and electrically connected to the circuitry, and a housing over the support for covering the circuitry. A first LED on a first surface of the support emits light in a first general direction and a second LED mounted on a second surface of the support emits light in a second general direction, which is opposite the first general direction.
Claims22
A lighting system for illuminating a sign, the system comprising:
- a plurality of electrically interconnected modules each including:
- a support,
- circuitry on the support,
- at least two light emitting diodes (“LEDs”) electrically connected to the circuitry, a first LED on a first surface of the support and facing in a first direction to emit light toward the first direction and a second LED on a second surface of the support and facing in a second direction, which is opposite the first direction, to emit light in a second general direction,
- a housing over the at least one support for covering the circuitry, and
- at least one electrical conductor electrically connecting the modules and a rigid spine connected with the modules, the spine being more rigid than the at least one electrical conductor for fixing the modules in relation to one another.
A lighting system for illuminating a sign, the system comprising:
- a plurality of electrically interconnected modules each including:
- a support;
- circuitry on the support;
- at least two light emitting diodes (“LEDs”) on the support and electrically connected to the circuitry, a first LED on a first surface of the support and emitting light in a first general direction and a second LED mounted on a second, opposite, surface of the support and emitting light in a second general direction, which is opposite the first direction;
- a housing over the support for covering the circuitry;
- and
- a rigid tubular member receiving the housing and having a translucent section for allowing light from the LEDs to escape the tubular member.
A lighting system comprising:
- a plurality of electrically interconnected modules each including:
- a support having a first generally planar surface and a second generally planar surface, the first surface being generally parallel to the second surface;
- a first plurality of light emitting diodes (“LEDs”) aligned generally along a first axis on the first surface facing a first direction;
- a second plurality of LEDs aligned generally along a second axis on the second surface facing a second direction, which is opposite the first direction;
- circuitry electrically interconnecting the LEDs;
- and
- a protective covering over the circuitry.
