Application-Specific LED module and Associated LED Point Source Luminaires

摘要

LED downlight and other point source luminaires contain one or more Application-Specific LED modules with integrated optical, mechanical, and heat dissipation systems; a fluted extruded metal housing acts as a heat sink as well as the luminaire housing containing the AS-LED module(s) or receiving a rotatable spherical housing that contains the AS-LED module, printed circuit board units, and wires; mounting brackets; and a remote LED driver. The extruded aluminum housing (and heat sink) may be comprised of a single cylinder or multiple concentric cylinders. The heat dissipation base of the AS-LED module can be any shape and size dependent on the type of LED luminaire the AS-LED module is designed for. The LED luminaires have a short thermal path, including just one electrical/thermal insulation layer between the LED chips and the housing, and one optical lens system between the LED chips and the surrounding ambient air.

主权项

1. A luminaire module comprising:
a housing formed of extruded metal that is fluted and cylindrical; an application-specific light emitting diode (AS-LED) module coupled to the housing having first and second sets of pads; a printed circuit board unit having
a first side including two sets of contact elements coupling to a respective one of the first and second pads, anda second side including a shunt protection device and two wires coupled thereto, one of the two wires having a thermal fuse integrated therein; a decorative trim inserted between the housing and the AS-LED module; a bracket for ceiling mount; and, a remote LED driver.
