Definitions
- the present invention relates in general to light fixtures utilizing light emitting diodes, and more particularly, to failure alerting systems for the light emitting diodes.
- LED lighting fixtures are useful for a variety of applications. Examples of these applications include commercial and household interior lighting, exterior and egress lighting, emergency lighting, automotive lighting and instrument lighting. LED lighting fixtures promise to provide improvements over existing lighting technologies. One significant improvement is a longer operating life. This improvement, however, raises different challenges than other lighting technology. Whereas other sources of light, such as fluorescent and incandescent, have a failure mode of relatively sudden and complete shut-off, LEDs typically continue to fade over time without shutting off completely. This tendency has been recognized by the solid-state lighting industry in the form of lifetime measurement criteria that defines LED life as “L70”, the hours of service at which the LED will output 70% of its original and/or rated output at the original/rated power draw.
- This failure mode can be perceived as a benefit, for example in the case of an LED lamp used to light an entrance over a dark set of stairs.
- An incandescent light will fail immediately when the filament burns out, leaving the entrance and stairs in the dark, while an LED lamp will typically continue to provide light at some level for a much longer period of time.
- the gradual dimming can be problematic. For example, at a given power draw, less light is output, resulting in an area that is less lit than intended. This can result in safety or security problems. More lights must be turned on or the lamps must be “undimmed” in order for the light levels to reach the level desired. The result is increased power consumption.
- Egress lighting requirements may require lighting designers to over-specify the amount of light in an area to ensure the required emergency egress light level is available in emergency evacuations over the lifetime of a building. This can cause regulatory barriers to the acceptance and implementation of LEDs into commercial and institutional buildings.
- consumers may automatically replace LEDs upon expiration of the warranty. This may result in years of useful operational life being unnecessarily wasted, reducing the cost effectiveness of using LED lighting in the first place.
- LED-based lights and lighting systems Disclosed herein are embodiments of LED-based lights and lighting systems.
- lighting system comprises at least one LED and at least one regulator in communication with the at least one LED.
- the at least one regulator is configured to supply a substantially constant current to the at least one LED while allowing a light output from the at least one LED to degrade over time towards a target minimum light output, and once the light output of the at least one LED is below the target minimum light output, increase current to the at least one LED to maintain the light output at the target minimum light output.

- Yet another embodiment is an LED-based light comprising at least one LED, a lens at least partially enclosing the at least one LED, the lens at least partially forming a housing for the LED-based light, a connector attached to the housing and configuring the LED-based light for connection to a light fixture, and a system for managing the at least one LED.
- the system is configured to detect a light output of the at least one LED, operate the at least one LED to maintain the light output at a target minimum light output, and generate one or more signals indicating that the light output is low once the light output can no longer be maintained at the target minimum light output.

- the photodetector 16 is configured to detect an actual light output from at least one LED 14 .
- the regulator 18 receives a signal from the photodetector 16 when the actual light output is below a target light output. When the signal is received, the regulator 18 increases a current to the one or more LEDs to maintain the target light output.
- the thermal sensor 20 senses an operating temperature of the at least one LED and controls the regulator 18 to increase the current and the target light output to ensure the operating temperature does not exceed a target temperature. In other words, the regulator 18 receives a thermal signal from the thermal sensor 20 and maintains the current and the target light output such that the operating temperature does not exceed a target temperature.

- the LEDs 14 can be arranged on the circuit board 24 or another surface within the housing 26 to emit or shine through only one side of the cover 28 , thus directing the light to a predetermined point of use, or arranged to emit light through more than one side of the cover 28 .
- the photodetector 16 of the LED lamp 10 with failure alerting system is shown in FIG. 1 located within the housing 26 and mounted on the circuit board 24 .
- the photodetector 16 is located to provide an accurate indication of the actual light output of the at least one LED 14 .
- the actual light output is typically measured in lux.
- the photodetector 16 can be, for example, a photo diode, a photo transistor, a photo cell or other device capable of outputting a signal with respect to the light level sensed.
- the photodetector 16 is configured to detect the actual light output from at least one LED 14 and send a signal to the regulator 18 when the actual light output is below a target light output.
- the photodetector 16 can send a signal when the LED provides lux implying less than 30 lumens, the target light output.
- the photodetector 16 can be a single detector detecting the actual light output of a single LED, a single detector detecting the actual light output of multiple LEDs, and more than one detector each detecting the actual light output from a different LED.
- the configurations are provided by way of example and not limitation and other configurations known to those skilled in the art may be used.
- the photodetector 16 is located within the housing 26 on the circuit board 24 .
- the photodetector 16 can be located external to the LED lamp 10 , as shown in FIG. 2 .
- the photodetector 16 is embedded on a work surface 32 . This location is provided by way of example and not limitation, and other locations can be used as desired or required by those skilled in the art.
- the photodetector may be embedded in a floor, a hallway, or a stairwell.
- the photodetector 16 sends a signal to the regulator 18 when the actual light output falls below the target light output.
- the signal can be sent electronically or wirelessly, depending on the desired or required location of the photodetector 16 in relation to the regulator 18 .
- the photodetector 16 can transmit the signal to the regulator 18 electronically, whereas in FIG. 2 , the transmission can be wirelessly.
- the regulator 18 is configured to increase the current to the at least one LED 14 in response to the signal from the photodetector 16 so that the target light output is maintained.

- the regulator may monitor a plurality of lamps in an area and send current to another plurality of supplemental lamps in the same area when a low output signal is received.
- the thermal sensor 20 of the LED lamp 10 with failure alerting system is shown in FIG. 1 located within the housing 26 and mounted on the circuit board 24 .
- the thermal sensor 20 is located to provide an accurate indication of the operating temperature of the at least one LED 14 .
- the thermal sensor 20 transmits a signal to the regulator 18 indicating the operating temperature to the regulator 18 .
- the regulator 18 is programmed with a target temperature which the system is not to exceed. When the target temperature has been exceeded, the regulator 18 will reduce the current to the at least one LED 14 until the operating temperature drops below the target temperature. The target temperature overrides the low light output signal. In other words, even if the low light output signal is being transmitted to the regulator 18 , if the signal from the thermal sensor 20 exceeds the target temperature, the regulator 18 addresses the thermal sensor signal rather than the low light output signal.
- thermal sensor 20 on the circuit board 24 shown in FIG. 1 is provided by way of example and not limitation. It is contemplated that the thermal sensor 20 can be located on other surfaces with in the housing 26 of the lamp 10 .

- the lamp 100 can also include a heat sink (not shown) within the housing 26 to dissipate the heat generated by the at least one LED 14 .
- Some of these heat sinks include projections for increasing the surface area of the heat sink.
- the heat sinks are typically formed by extruding billets of material, generally aluminum, through a die.
- the thermal sensor 20 protects the LEDs and so detects the temperature not withstanding the heat sink.
- the photodetector 16 When the photodetector 16 detects low light for a predetermined period of time, the photodetector 16 sends a signal to the low light output indicator 22 . When the signal from the photodetector 16 is received, the low light output indicator 22 produces a low light output signal. In other words, when the actual light output remains below the target light output because the regulator 18 can no longer maintain the target light output without exceeding the target temperature, a low light output signal is generated.
- the low light output indicator 22 can generate a variety of signals indicating that the light output is low, depending on the indication desired or required. The following are provided as non-limiting examples.

Description
- This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/202,443 filed Mar. 10, 2014, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/202,662 filed Sep. 2, 2008, now U.S. Pat. No. 8,674,626, issued on Mar. 18, 2014, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- The present invention relates in general to light fixtures utilizing light emitting diodes, and more particularly, to failure alerting systems for the light emitting diodes.
- Light emitting diode (LED) lighting fixtures are useful for a variety of applications. Examples of these applications include commercial and household interior lighting, exterior and egress lighting, emergency lighting, automotive lighting and instrument lighting. LED lighting fixtures promise to provide improvements over existing lighting technologies. One significant improvement is a longer operating life. This improvement, however, raises different challenges than other lighting technology. Whereas other sources of light, such as fluorescent and incandescent, have a failure mode of relatively sudden and complete shut-off, LEDs typically continue to fade over time without shutting off completely. This tendency has been recognized by the solid-state lighting industry in the form of lifetime measurement criteria that defines LED life as “L70”, the hours of service at which the LED will output 70% of its original and/or rated output at the original/rated power draw.
- This failure mode can be perceived as a benefit, for example in the case of an LED lamp used to light an entrance over a dark set of stairs. An incandescent light will fail immediately when the filament burns out, leaving the entrance and stairs in the dark, while an LED lamp will typically continue to provide light at some level for a much longer period of time. However, the gradual dimming can be problematic. For example, at a given power draw, less light is output, resulting in an area that is less lit than intended. This can result in safety or security problems. More lights must be turned on or the lamps must be “undimmed” in order for the light levels to reach the level desired. The result is increased power consumption. Egress lighting requirements may require lighting designers to over-specify the amount of light in an area to ensure the required emergency egress light level is available in emergency evacuations over the lifetime of a building. This can cause regulatory barriers to the acceptance and implementation of LEDs into commercial and institutional buildings. In addition, due to the difficulty, time and expense of accurately determining when an LED light has permanently dropped below the acceptable light output limit, consumers may automatically replace LEDs upon expiration of the warranty. This may result in years of useful operational life being unnecessarily wasted, reducing the cost effectiveness of using LED lighting in the first place.
- Disclosed herein are embodiments of LED-based lights and lighting systems. On such illustrative embodiment of lighting system comprises at least one LED and at least one regulator in communication with the at least one LED. The at least one regulator is configured to supply a substantially constant current to the at least one LED while allowing a light output from the at least one LED to degrade over time towards a target minimum light output, and once the light output of the at least one LED is below the target minimum light output, increase current to the at least one LED to maintain the light output at the target minimum light output.
- Another embodiment disclosed herein is an LED-based light comprising at least one LED, a connector connectable to a light fixture, and a system for managing the at least one LED. The system is configured to detect a light output of the at least one LED, operate the at least one LED at a first power draw while allowing the light output from the at least one LED to degrade over time towards a target minimum light output, and once the light output of the at least one LED is below the target minimum light output, operate the at least one LED at an increased power draw to maintain the light output at the target minimum light output.
- Yet another embodiment is an LED-based light comprising at least one LED, a lens at least partially enclosing the at least one LED, the lens at least partially forming a housing for the LED-based light, a connector attached to the housing and configuring the LED-based light for connection to a light fixture, and a system for managing the at least one LED. The system is configured to detect a light output of the at least one LED, operate the at least one LED to maintain the light output at a target minimum light output, and generate one or more signals indicating that the light output is low once the light output can no longer be maintained at the target minimum light output.

FIG. 1 illustrates one embodiment of anLED lamp 10 with a failure alerting system. Thelamp 10 comprises anLED lighting unit 12 comprising at least oneLED 14, aphotodetector 16, aregulator 18, athermal sensor 20, and a lowlight output indicator 22. - In this illustrative embodiment, the
photodetector 16 is configured to detect an actual light output from at least oneLED 14. Theregulator 18 receives a signal from thephotodetector 16 when the actual light output is below a target light output. When the signal is received, theregulator 18 increases a current to the one or more LEDs to maintain the target light output. Thethermal sensor 20 senses an operating temperature of the at least one LED and controls theregulator 18 to increase the current and the target light output to ensure the operating temperature does not exceed a target temperature. In other words, theregulator 18 receives a thermal signal from thethermal sensor 20 and maintains the current and the target light output such that the operating temperature does not exceed a target temperature. The lowlight output indicator 22 receives a signal from thephotodetector 16 when the actual light output remains below the target light output and produces a low light output signal. - The at least one
LED 14 of theLED lamp 10 can be mounted on acircuit board 24. Thecircuit board 24 may be made in one piece or in sections joined by electrical bridge connectors. An insulative board is typical, but other circuit board types, e.g., metal core circuit boards, can alternatively be used. Although thecircuit board 24 shown inFIG. 1 is a circular surface, thecircuit board 24 may be any shape desired or required depending on the overall shape and design of thelamp 10. - The
LEDs 14 can be mounted at predetermined intervals along or around thecircuit board 24 to uniformly emit light from thelamp 10. The spacing betweenLEDs 14 along thecircuit board 24 is a function of the surface area of thecircuit board 24, the amount of light desired, the wattage of theLEDs 14, and the viewing angle of theLEDs 14. More than one LED is commonly referred to as a bank or array of LEDs. Within the scope of these embodiments, one or more banks or arrays of LEDs can be mounted on one or more circuit boards. The LEDs can emit white light and, thus, are commonly referred to in the art as white LEDs. However, other types of LEDs can be utilized, for example, red and green LEDs. - The
LEDs 14 utilized in thelamp 10 are those known in the art. TheLEDs 14 can be, for example, surface-mounted LEDs, organic LEDs, or high-power surface-mount devices of a type available from Nichia. TheLEDs 14 may have power ratings of 0.1 watts or more, or more specifically, power ratings of one watt or more. However, the power ratings are provided as examples and are not meant to be limiting. Other power ratings can be used as desired or required. - The
lamp 10 also has ahousing 26 consisting of acover 28 and abase 30. It is contemplated that thehousing 26 may be of any suitable shape required or desired for use with light fixtures. As a non-limiting example, thehousing 26 may be a shroud open along its length. Thehousing 26 may have as many ends as necessary for a secure fit and the proper electrical connection. - The
cover 28 may be made of any material known in the art to be used in the lighting industry, including but not limited to UV resistant plastic or glass. For example, thecover 28 can be made from polycarbonate, acrylic, glass or another light transmitting material. That is, thecover 28 can be transparent or translucent. Atranslucent cover 28 can be made from a composite, such as polycarbonate with particles of a light refracting material interspersed in the polycarbonate. - The
LEDs 14 can be arranged on thecircuit board 24 or another surface within thehousing 26 to emit or shine through only one side of thecover 28, thus directing the light to a predetermined point of use, or arranged to emit light through more than one side of thecover 28. - The
photodetector 16 of theLED lamp 10 with failure alerting system is shown inFIG. 1 located within thehousing 26 and mounted on thecircuit board 24. Thephotodetector 16 is located to provide an accurate indication of the actual light output of the at least oneLED 14. The actual light output is typically measured in lux. Thephotodetector 16 can be, for example, a photo diode, a photo transistor, a photo cell or other device capable of outputting a signal with respect to the light level sensed. - The
photodetector 16 is configured to detect the actual light output from at least oneLED 14 and send a signal to theregulator 18 when the actual light output is below a target light output. For example, thephotodetector 16 can send a signal when the LED provides lux implying less than 30 lumens, the target light output. Thephotodetector 16 can be a single detector detecting the actual light output of a single LED, a single detector detecting the actual light output of multiple LEDs, and more than one detector each detecting the actual light output from a different LED. The configurations are provided by way of example and not limitation and other configurations known to those skilled in the art may be used. - In
FIG. 1 , thephotodetector 16 is located within thehousing 26 on thecircuit board 24. Alternatively, thephotodetector 16 can be located external to theLED lamp 10, as shown inFIG. 2 . InFIG. 2 , thephotodetector 16 is embedded on awork surface 32. This location is provided by way of example and not limitation, and other locations can be used as desired or required by those skilled in the art. For example, the photodetector may be embedded in a floor, a hallway, or a stairwell. - The
photodetector 16 sends a signal to theregulator 18 when the actual light output falls below the target light output. The signal can be sent electronically or wirelessly, depending on the desired or required location of thephotodetector 16 in relation to theregulator 18. For example, with the configuration inFIG. 1 , thephotodetector 16 can transmit the signal to theregulator 18 electronically, whereas inFIG. 2 , the transmission can be wirelessly. - The
regulator 18 is configured to increase the current to the at least oneLED 14 in response to the signal from thephotodetector 16 so that the target light output is maintained. Alternatively, theregulator 18 may send current to a supplemental LED or a plurality of supplemental LEDs to generate the additional lumens. For example, inFIG. 1 ,LEDs 14 a can be supplemental LEDs that are only provided current by theregulator 18 when thephotodetector 16 sends a low light output signal. Theregulator 18 can be a current regulator, a transistor and Zener diode, a Hall effect type current sensor, or other regulators known by those skilled in the art to regulate current. - It is contemplated that the
regulator 18 may be outside of thelamp 10 and may control the light output and temperature of a plurality of lamps in series. For example, the regulator may monitor a plurality of lamps in an area and can increase current to those lamps when a low output signal is received. The regulator may monitor a plurality of lamps in an area and send current to another plurality of supplemental lamps in the same area when a low output signal is received. - The
thermal sensor 20 of theLED lamp 10 with failure alerting system is shown inFIG. 1 located within thehousing 26 and mounted on thecircuit board 24. Thethermal sensor 20 is located to provide an accurate indication of the operating temperature of the at least oneLED 14. Thethermal sensor 20 transmits a signal to theregulator 18 indicating the operating temperature to theregulator 18. Theregulator 18 is programmed with a target temperature which the system is not to exceed. When the target temperature has been exceeded, theregulator 18 will reduce the current to the at least oneLED 14 until the operating temperature drops below the target temperature. The target temperature overrides the low light output signal. In other words, even if the low light output signal is being transmitted to theregulator 18, if the signal from thethermal sensor 20 exceeds the target temperature, theregulator 18 addresses the thermal sensor signal rather than the low light output signal. - The location of the
thermal sensor 20 on thecircuit board 24 shown inFIG. 1 is provided by way of example and not limitation. It is contemplated that thethermal sensor 20 can be located on other surfaces with in thehousing 26 of thelamp 10. Types of thermal sensors known by those skilled in the art can be used, including contact and non-contact sensors. - The
lamp 100 can also include a heat sink (not shown) within thehousing 26 to dissipate the heat generated by the at least oneLED 14. Some of these heat sinks include projections for increasing the surface area of the heat sink. The heat sinks are typically formed by extruding billets of material, generally aluminum, through a die. Thethermal sensor 20 protects the LEDs and so detects the temperature not withstanding the heat sink. - When the
photodetector 16 detects low light for a predetermined period of time, thephotodetector 16 sends a signal to the lowlight output indicator 22. When the signal from thephotodetector 16 is received, the lowlight output indicator 22 produces a low light output signal. In other words, when the actual light output remains below the target light output because theregulator 18 can no longer maintain the target light output without exceeding the target temperature, a low light output signal is generated. - The low
light output indicator 22 can generate a variety of signals indicating that the light output is low, depending on the indication desired or required. The following are provided as non-limiting examples. - The low light output signal can be an audible broadcast. For example, the audible broadcast can be an alarm, a beep, a series of sounds, or a verbal indication to change the bulb.
- The low light output signal can be a visual signal. For example, the visual signal can be one or more LEDs within the lamp that are of a different color, the low
light output indicator 22 turning on those one or more LEDs by providing current. The visual signal can be one or more LEDs that form a shape or word or words indicating the low output. The visual signal may be one or more flashing LEDs or a combination of flashing LEDs. The LEDs used to visually indicate low light output can be supplemental or can be the currently used LEDs. The visual signal can be a complete shutdown of the current such that the lamp provides no illumination to encourage replacement. - The low
light output indicator 22 can be configured to transmit a wireless signal or broadcast to an external receiver. The external receiver can than provide an audible or visual indication of low light output. Other indicators can be used as desired or required and known to those skilled in the art. - The low
light output indicator 22 may indicate the status of individual LEDs or a plurality of LEDs as a whole, such as a plurality of LEDs in one lamp. The lowlight level indicator 22 can be tied to a plurality of lights in a common area, wherein the low light output signal is only generated if the light output of the area is below a predetermined level. -
