Aquaculture lighting devices and methods

摘要

A lighting assembly for enhancing the growth of aquatic life in an ecosystem and method of enhancing the growth of aquatic life in such an ecosystem. The assembly includes a vessel submerged within water of the ecosystem. A substrate is disposed within and surrounded by the vessel and provides electronics to provide a conditioned current to a plurality of light emitting diodes also contained on the substrate. The light emitting diodes emit light within the water of the ecosystem that provides for growth, not only in a larger volume of the ecosystem, but in addition enhances the growth of the aquatic life.

主权项

1. A lighting assembly comprising:
a vessel submerged within water of an ecosystem; a heat sink at least partially disposed through the vessel; a first substrate disposed within the vessel and having driving circuitry thereon; at least one lighting device electrically connected to the driving circuitry that emits light within the water of the ecosystem; and wherein heat from the circuitry is conveyed through the heat sink to the water; wherein the heat sink comprises a primary heat sink disposed within the vessel that is engaged by the substrate to provide a thermal path from the substrate to the primary heat sink; and wherein the heat sink further comprises a secondary heat sink extending from the primary heat sink away from the vessel.
