Compact high brightness led grow light apparatus, using an extended point source led array with light emitting diodes

Номер: US20120043907A1
Автор: Brian I-Yuan Chiang, Ho-Shang Lee, Junying Jonathan Lu
Принадлежит: Dicon Fiberoptics Inc

A compact high-brightness LED grow light fixture is described for use in growing plants under artificial light, or as a supplement to natural sunlight. The LED grow light uses a densely-packed array of high-brightness light emitting diodes (LEDs) that are not individually packaged where the array behaves similarly to a point source of light. The LED chips are distributed laterally over an area, where the LED chips have light emitting surfaces for emitting light in directions transverse to said area, wherein the dimensions of the area do not exceed 25 mm. Adjacent chips of the array are preferably separated by less than about 0.2 mm. The extended point source LED array, with its lens and associated reflector, result in a concentrated, partially-collimated light source, such that the intensity of the light does not diminish rapidly as distance from the light source increases. Thus, foliage that is lower down on the plant will receive almost as much light energy as does foliage on the top of the plant. The compact LED grow light does not block much of the natural sunlight, making the LED grow light suitable for use as a supplement to natural sunlight. The LED array contains a plurality of LED strings that may be separately controlled, thereby allowing the spectral content of the LED grow light to be varied, to facilitate desired plant growth at various stages of plant life. Multiple wavelengths of LEDs may be used within each LED string, thereby allowing the ability to further optimize the spectral content of the LED grow light. Due to the compact size of the LED grow light, the light emitted at each of the multiple different wavelengths from the array is evenly distributed, when the objects being illuminated by the array are at a distance of less than about 6 feet or even less than 1 foot from the array. Flexible mounting options allow for the use of multiple compact LED grow lights within a single plant growing area, and also allow for side or bottom lighting of ...

A LED light bulb includes a bulb casing, a control circuit, a light reflective heat sink, a supporting member and a plurality of LEDs. The supporting member is mounted in a receiving cavity of the bulb casing at a position having physical contact with the light reflective heat sink. The LEDs are spacedly provided on the supporting member to form a LED matrix thereon, wherein when the LEDs are activated to generate light, the light generated by the LEDs is arranged to be reflected by the supporting member and the light reflective heat sink to form high intensity illumination of the LED light bulb, while heat generated by the LEDs are effectively transferred and dissipated by the light reflective heat sink through the supporting member so as to prevent overheating in the receiving cavity.

A remotely controllable track lighting system includes a track with lamps supported on the track that are individually controlled by a wireless remote. Each lamp may be set to different intensity levels (e.g., high, mid, low, off) or to the same intensity level. All lamps may be set, upon initially turning on the lamps or at another time, to previously set intensity levels. The track system may also be powered via a wall switch where initially turning on the lamps via the wall switch causes all of the lamps to return to their previously set intensity levels or the user can move the wall switch off then on within a short period of time (e.g., 3 seconds) to cause all of the lamps to be set high.

Herein is described an invention that efficiently detects and reports vehicle impact with fixed or temporary roadway safety devices. A multitude of sensors may report road events via a single cellular or fiber optic gateway thereby substantially reducing acquisition and recurring cost. The use of a mesh network to connect these sensors provides low duty cycle monitoring. Extremely low-power circuitry that allows for multi-year battery life of small, light-weight solar photovoltaic panel is achievable through precise node-to-node timing. Radio transmission and reception is limited to a few milliseconds in each second. The novel mesh network architecture does not utilize an external coordinating signal, timing signal, or connection. Synchrony is maintained internal to the mesh network. Duty cycles of less than approximately 0.01% are achievable. 1.
