LED lighting assembly and method of lighting for a merchandise display

摘要

Aspects of the disclosure relate to a lighting assembly and method for illuminating a vertical planar area, such as a merchandise display. The lighting assembly can comprise a circuit board having a plurality of LEDs arranged in a substantially straight line and an LED driver circuit, and an integral lens assembly. The integral lens assembly can have a plurality of lenses and each of the plurality of lenses can be placed over a corresponding one of the plurality of LEDs. The lenses capture the light from the respective LED, modify its beam pattern, and re-project the light such that the light emitted from the lighting assembly is distributed substantially evenly in a vertical plane or direction.

主权项

1. A lighting assembly for a merchandise display comprising:
a circuit board assembly having a plurality of LEDs and an LED driver circuit, wherein the plurality of LEDs is arranged in a substantially straight line; a lens assembly comprising a plurality of lenses arranged in linear array of a first lens type and a second lens type wherein the first lens type and the second lens type are placed over a corresponding one of the plurality of LEDs in an alternating pattern, and wherein the lenses are configured to capture the light from a respective LED, modify the beam pattern, and re-project the light from the plurality of LEDs in a plurality of lighting areas vertically arranged to form a vertical lighting area nearest the lighting assembly comprising a narrower lighting pattern than a lighting area further from the lighting assembly, such that a plurality of levels on the merchandise display are evenly illuminated by the lighting assembly mounted above the vertical lighting area.
