Description

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a modular lighting device, using as a lighting element modules based on solid state lighting technology (LEDs) of variable geometry and capable of grouping and connecting to each other.

The object of the invention is to achieve optimum efficiency as a means of illumination, so that it can be used as a marker and / or a means of information, being also highly resistant to external agents (aggressive environments "water, liquids, etc.), which enhances its durability and efficiency and, consequently, its useful life.

The device finds special application in the sector of lighting, signage and information, for a correct vision / guidance or knowledge or advertising, and can be used in private, public or semi-public places, both indoors and outdoors.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Devices based on the characteristics of the device of the present invention are unknown, and also offer the features and functions that it can provide.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The device of the invention is constituted by one or more lighting modules that in each case consist of a base plate of LEDs, of ceramic or metallic material and with a variable geometry, both dimensionally and configuration, since it can be contour square, circular, triangular, rectangular, semicircular, or any other, always allowing a possible adaptability or coupling of the same to achieve shapes and figures varied and electrically connected to each other, both in series and in parallel or combination of both.

The lighting module or modules themselves will be mounted on a metal support constituting a rigid support structure that can have appropriate fixing means on a wall, ceiling or any place that admits the possibility of corresponding fixing.

Furthermore, said support constitutes a means of heat dissipation for the lighting elements.

Although the device is intended to be used both indoors and outdoors, in public or private places, it is preferably designed for application in public places where the risk of deterioration is greater, and in any case it constitutes a means that allows lighting signs to be illuminated. Any nature and application.

In addition, the device can be simple or unitary, that is

formed by a single LED lighting module, mounted on its respective support, and can be equally modular and / or grouped with others to achieve an increase in lighting power.

The device, according to the invention, is intended for the replacement of conventional lighting technologies, such as incandescence, metal halides, etc., with the particularity that in case such lighting forms carry feeders, their replacement by the LED technology modules of the invention implies the cancellation and replacement of conventional components of the installations, thereby eliminating losses and increasing the efficiency of the complete set.

Said device is designed so that its operation is carried out by switching power supplies with output of 12 volts of direct current or 24 volts of direct current, with or without integrated electronics in the modules, so that in the case of not carrying integrated electronics a power controller external to the power supply or integrated into it would be necessary.

The energy necessary for its operation can be obtained from the mains or, failing that, from an uninterruptible power supply or UPS circuit that will maintain the LED technology lighting device with autonomy in the event of a power failure.

The electronics that incorporate the device of the invention will be appropriate to achieve stable current and power control of the corresponding LEDs, whatever the geometry of the module or number of LEDs it incorporates. In addition, the corresponding feeder circuit will be protected against surges, short circuits and polarity reversals.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

As can be seen in the aforementioned figures, the device of the invention comprises one or more LED lighting modules (1), as shown in Figure 1, and which can have any appropriate configuration, so that in the case of such Figure 1, the LED lighting module has a quadrangular shape, while in Figure 5

A circular LED illumination module (l ') is shown, with FIG. 6 presenting a triangular configuration LED illumination module (l "), being able to have any other configuration, as previously mentioned.

In any case, the module (1, l ', 1 ") incorporates a plurality of lighting elements (2) formed by LEDs.

Each module (1, 1 ', 1 ") is constituted by a plate of a metallic or ceramic nature, and the lighting elements or LEDs (2) are mounted on it.

Whatever the configuration of the lighting modules, they can be coupled to each other and even connected with serial (4) or parallel (5) wiring, as shown in Figures 8 and 9 respectively.

The module or modules (1, 1 ', 1 ") are mounted on a support

(3) that any appropriate configuration can be adapted to adapt to a set or grouping of modules, as shown in Figures 1 OY 11, so that the lighting elements or LEDs (2) emit the light beam (5 ) on a screen (6) to be illuminated, as shown in figure 11 itself.

It should be said that the modules with their lighting elements or LEDs (2) are the bearers of the visible signal (solid-state lighting) or message in question, obviously carrying it on its front, front or side faces, faces which will be protected by an antigraphic coating, whose obvious purpose is to avoid graphite on the faces of the device.

Obviously, the dimensions and geometric shapes of the modules, as well as the support itself (3) may range between standard market values and offer different figures or configurations, always with the power to increase or decrease the number of modules in each group and vary, logically, the contour of the support (3) to adapt to this group of LED lighting modules and their corresponding geometry.

The light beam (5) emitted by the lighting elements or LEDs (2), is projected in any direction, regardless of the positioning of the modules, whether it is a single or single module, or if it is grouped with others.

The plate that constitutes each module will be constituted, as already said, of a metallic or ceramic nature, always with a high mechanical resistance and high efficiency for thermal dissipation, adapting in any case to the corresponding support (3).

Finally, say that the device, regardless of the applications already mentioned, its use can be carried out in shopping centers, parking lots, homes, offices, emergency exits, signs, tunnels, stations, trains, beacons, lighting, circulation channeling, as well as signs and luminescent bands, delimitation of obstacles, refrigerators, etc., being able to be fixed on floors, walls, walls, stairs, parkings, etc., for which it is planned that the support (3), although not represented , have mechanical fastening means for securing the device assembly in any of those places.
