LED illumination device with color converting surfaces

摘要

An illumination module includes a color conversion cavity with a first interior surface having a first wavelength converting material and a second interior surface having a second wavelength converting material. A first LED is configured to receive a first current and to emit light that preferentially illuminates the first interior surface. A second LED is configured to receive a second current and emit light that preferentially illuminates the second interior surface. The first current and the second current are selectable to achieve a range of correlated color temperature (CCT) of light output by the LED based illumination device.

1. An LED based illumination device, comprising:
a color conversion cavity comprising a first surface area including a first wavelength converting material and a second surface area including a second wavelength converting material; a first LED configured to receive a first current, wherein light emitted from the first LED primarily illuminates the first wavelength converting material, wherein a light emitted from the LED based illumination device based on the light emitted from the first LED has a first color temperature; a second LED configured to receive a second current, wherein light emitted from the second LED primarily illuminates the second wavelength converting material, wherein a light emitted from the LED based illumination device based on light emission from the second LED has a second color temperature that is different than the first color temperature; wherein the first current and the second current are selectable to achieve a range of correlated color temperature (CCT) of light output by the LED based illumination device; and an output window over an output port of the color conversion cavity, the output window comprising at least one of the first wavelength converting material and the second wavelength converting material, wherein the color conversion cavity is configured to mix a first light emitted from the first LED and converted by the first wavelength converting material with a second light emitted from the second LED and converted by the second wavelength converting material to produce a combined light that is emitted through the output window.
