Abstract
Optical and thermal splines are integrated in the external envelope of a non-planar lamp allowing the optical output of discrete light sources such as LEDs to be distributed for uniform output and the achievement of desired light distributions such as omnidirectional output. Opposing orientation of light sources is utilized to create integrated optical and thermal splines for improved thermal and optical performance.
Claims16
A light emitting device comprising;
- a. light sources oriented in back to back opposing directions;
- b. an exterior envelope comprising optical splines and thermal splines;
- c. a thermally conductive connection between light source and thermal spline;
- d. an optical connection between each light source and optical spline which inputs light within the exterior envelope in an orientation substantially perpendicular to the output surface of the exterior envelope.
