AQUACULTURE LIGHTING DEVICES AND METHODS

摘要

Lighting assemblies that provide spectrum specific underwater lighting to aquatic life. Each assembly has a vessel that receives a substrate secured to a heatsink and is enclosed by an end cap that provides a water tight seal. The end cap is sealingly secured to the vessel by a sealing element and has opening disposed therethrough for receiving an electrical connector that electrically connects lighting elements on the substrate to an exterior power source. The connector is sealingly disposed through the opening in the end cap to prevent the ingress of water within the vessel.

主权项

1. A lighting assembly comprising:
a vessel having a closed end, an open end and an open interior adapted to be submerged within water of an ecosystem; a heat sink at least partially disposed through the open interior of the vessel; a first substrate having driving circuitry thereon engaging the heat sink and disposed within the vessel to provide a thermal path for heat from the circuitry to the heat sink; at least one lighting device electrically connected to the driving circuitry on the substrate to emit light within the water of the ecosystem; an end cap sealingly enclosing the open end of the vessel to provide a water tight seal between the end cap and the vessel; said end cap having an opening disposed therethrough for sealingly receiving a connector that is electrically connected to the substrate to prevent the ingress of water within the vessel.
