LED array for replacing flourescent tubes

摘要

An LED lighting assembly is provided as a drop-in replacement for standard flourescent tubes. An LED lighting assembly and corresponding method for its assembly comprises a substrate having an LED array mounted thereon. The LED array can be mounted in traditional wirebonded or flip chip arrangements. The assembly further includes a heat sink layer, a light diffusion layer, a UV filter layer, and a structural frame for supporting the assembly. The structural frame can be adjusted to replace any length flourescent tube. A voltage controller is provided to filter out voltage spikes from a power source. A microcontroller is provided for receiving any control instructions.

主权项

1. An LED lighting array comprising:
a. a substrate; b. an LED array mounted on the substrate; c. a heat sink mounted to the substrate; d. an ultraviolet filter mounted to the substrate; e. a light diffusion layer mounted to the substrate; and f a structural frame having a sliding member including a set of bi-pin connectors, wherein the sliding member is slidably coupled with the substrate along a fixed path such that the sliding member is able to slide along the fixed path with respect to the substrate while still being coupled to the substrate; wherein the LED array is positioned to emit light through the ultraviolet filter and light diffusion layer, wherein the sliding member includes two parallel sides and third side coupled to ends of the two parallel sides forming a “U” shape, wherein an end of the substrate is configured to fit in the sliding member.
