Definitions
- the invention relates generally to the field of lighting systems and, more particularly, to apparatus for utilizing LED light sources for illuminating areas with predefined patterns of light intensity.
- LEDs light-emitting diodes
- Some of the newer applications for LED-based lighting systems are roadway and parking lot lighting in which there are desired performance characteristics and/or with respect to light distribution. More specifically, it is desirable that certain regions generally beneath a light fixture be illuminated, while certain neighboring regions are essentially non-illuminated.
- Another object of this invention is to provide light-directing apparatus and lighting fixture which maximize the light directed toward a preferential side and minimize light directed toward the opposite (non-preferential) side.
- Another object of this invention is to provide lighting fixtures for uses such as roadway and parking-lot illumination that have high-efficiency light-directing apparatus while satisfying requirements for minimizing trespass light.
- Still another object of this invention is to provide a light-directing apparatus which directs a maximum amount of emitted light toward an area intended to be illuminated.
- Yet another object of this invention is to provide an LED-based light-directing apparatus which maintains the light-directing characteristics at a substantially constant level throughout its life.
- Another object of this invention is to provide an LED-based light-directing apparatus having light-managing components which are protected from damage, degradation and wear over an extended period of time, even in difficult use environments.
- One aspect of the present invention is an improved light-directing apparatus for off-axial preferential-side distribution of light from a light emitter which has an emitter axis.
- Another aspect of this invention is a lighting fixture utilizing such light- directing apparatus.
- the inventive light-directing apparatus includes a lensing member positioned over the light emitter and a shield member.
- the lensing member has a proximal end substantially transverse the emitter axis and an outer surface configured for refracting light from the emitter.
- the shield member may be embedded within the lensing member in a position in the path of light emitter toward the non-preferential side.
- the shield member is embedded by the lensing member having been molded thereabout.
- the proximal end defines a shield-insertion opening.
- the lensing member further includes an inner surface defining an off-axis shield-receiving void extending from the shield-insertion opening.
- the shield member is snugly received in the shield-receiving void in a position in the path of light emitted toward a non-preferential side.
- the positioning of the shield- receiving void and the shield member therein are preferably such that the shield is offset from the emitter axis.
- the proximal end of the lensing member may further define an emitter- insertion opening and the inner surface defines an emitter-receiving void extending from the emitter-insertion opening and facing the emitter.
- the shield-insertion opening and the emitter-receiving opening are preferably in communication and form a single proximal-end opening.
- the shield-receiving void is preferably contiguous with the emitter-receiving void.
- the lensing member is most typically bilaterally symmetric, as is the shield member.
- the outer surface of the lensing member is preferably a compound surface configured for refracting light from the emitter in a predominantly off-axial direction toward a preferential side.
- the shield member includes a reflective front surface in the path of light emitted toward the non-preferential side to redirect such light toward the preferential side.
- the shield member may be formed of various plastic materials with a reflective coating. Such coated plastics are known to have a light-reflecting efficiency of about 85%.
- a sill more efficient alternative is an anodized metal, such as aluminum, which provides a higher light-reflection efficiency, of about 95%.
- the reflective front surface is preferably entirely within the lensing member. Such enclosure provides highly desirable protection for the reflective surface, virtually eliminating damage, degradation and wear from exposure to elements.
- the reflective front surface of the shield member is preferably of non-planar configuration.
- the reflective front surface may have a plurality of sections angled with respect to each other. The sections may each be substantially planar.
- the reflective front surface may be formed by a single section, which may be flat or curved. The exact configuration of the shield portion, and its reflective front surface, whether it is planar or has a radius of curvature, are chosen to achieve the desired light-emitting characteristic for whatever product is being developed.
- the shield member includes a shield portion and a base portion.
- the reflective front surface is on the shield portion that extends from the base portion into the path of light emitted toward the non-preferential side.
- the base portion extends from the shield portion away from the light emitter at the proximal end of the lensing member.
- the light emitter is an LED package which includes at least one LED and a primary lens over the LED.
- the lensing member is a secondary lens placed over the primary lens, and the reflective front surface faces the primary lens.
- the primary lens is substantially rotationally symmetrical around the emitter axis; preferably the primary lens is substantially hemispherical.
- LED package is well known in the industry. LED packages have either a single light-emitting diode (LED) or a few closely-spaced LEDs on a base.
- LED packages include a primary reflector, which may be in the form of a so-called reflector cup mounted to the base or a reflective surface associated with the primary lens proximal the LED(s).
- a primary reflector which may be in the form of a so- called reflector cup mounted to the base or a reflective surface associated with the primary lens proximal the LED(s).
- One example of LED packages illustrated here in connection with the present invention includes a ring, preferably made of aluminum, around the primary lens on the base, which ring serves to position the primary lens and to reflect some light from the emitter to assist in the generation of an illumination pattern.
- the lensing member preferably includes an outward flange around the opening(s) at the proximal end. The flange has an inner surface facing the mounting board.
- the base portion of the shield member is preferably at least partially against the inner surface of the flange.
- the outward flange may include a reference mark indicating an orientation with respect to the preferential side.
- the flange may have a specific shape, such as cut corners or the like, to indicate the orientation with respect to the preferential side. Such features are helpful in assembly of lighting fixtures using such light-directing apparatus.
- the lighting fixture of this invention utilizes a plurality of light emitters, preferably LED packages, spaced from one another on a mounting board and oriented with substantially parallel axes.
- a light-directing apparatus is positioned over the light emitters for off-axial preferential-side distribution of light from the emitters.
- the light-directing apparatus includes a plurality of lenses, each positioned over one light emitter, and a plurality of shield members.
- Each lens has a proximal end transverse the emitter axis and defines a shield-insertion opening.
- Each lens has an inner surface defining an off-axis shield-receiving void extending from the shield- insertion opening, and a compound outer surface configured for refracting light from the emitter in a predominantly off-axial direction toward a preferential side.
- Each shield member is snugly received in the shield-receiving void of a corresponding one of the lenses in a position in the path of light emitted from the corresponding light emitter toward a non-preferential side.
- the lenses have preferential sides in the same lateral direction, thereby to facilitate illumination toward one lateral direction.
- the lenses have preferential sides in different lateral directions, thereby to facilitate illumination in different lateral directions.
- the lenses may be arranged in a substantially circular pattern, and each lens has a preferential side oriented in a substantially radially outward direction with respect to the circular pattern.
- Some of such other embodiments may have subsets of the emitters and the corresponding lenses, with the subsets configured for directing light in different lateral directions.
- One example of such other embodiments may have two subsets, one subset with its light-directing apparatuses configured for directing light toward a broad area (e..g., of a parking lot), and another smaller subset with its light-directing apparatuses configured for illumination of an adjacent sidewalk.
- the emitters and their corresponding lenses are arranged in a substantially circular pattern, with each lens having a preferential side oriented in a substantially radially outward direction with respect to the circular pattern.
- each lensing member (secondary lens) is a separate piece.
- the plurality of lenses in the light-directing apparatus may be formed as portions of a single unitary piece, with the lens portions each positioned for proper placement over its corresponding emitter.
- preferential side means the lateral direction (with respect to the emitter axis) toward which illumination is desired.
- non-preferential side as used herein with respect to the direction of the light distribution, means the lateral direction toward which illumination is not desired.
- the non-preferential side is typically substantially radially opposite from the preferential side.
- shield-receiving void and the shield member are configured for a mating relationship sufficient to fix the position of the shield member with respect to the lensing member, whether or not all surfaces of the shield member are in contact with surfaces of the lensing member.
- the term “being in communication,” when used in reference to the emitter- insertion opening and the shield-insertion opening, means that the emitter-insertion opening may encompass the entire shield-insertion opening or that such openings may partially overlap. In either case, the term “being in communication” means that there is no barrier between such openings. (It should be understood that "opening” does not refer to something having volume, while “void” does imply volume.)

- Inventive light-directing apparatus 10 includes a lensing member 40 positioned over light emitter 20 and a shield member 50. As best seen in FIGURES 3, 5 and 7-9, lensing member 40 has a proximal end 41 substantially transverse emitter axis 21 and an outer surface 42 configured for refracting light from emitter 20. In such embodiments, shield member 50 has been inserted into lensing member 40.
- FIGURE 6 shows a light-directing apparatus 1 OA which is another embodiment of the invention, in this case with shield member 5OA embedded within lensing member 4OA in a position in the path of light emitter toward the non- preferential side 12.
- Shield member 50A is embedded in lensing member 4OA by such lensing member having been molded thereabout.
- FIGURES 5 and 7-9 illustrate that proximal end 41 of light-directing apparatus 10 defines a shield-insertion opening 43.
- Lensing member 40 further includes an inner surface 45 which defines an off-axis shield-receiving void 46 extending from shield-insertion opening 43 and terminating at a close end.
- Shield member 50 is snugly received in shield-receiving void 46 in a position in the path of light emitted toward non-preferential side 12. As best seen in FIGURES 5 and 7, the positioning of shield-receiving void 46 and shield member 50 therein are such that shield 50 is offset from emitter axis 21.
- proximal end 41 of lensing member 40 further defines an emitter-insertion opening 44.
- Inner surface 45 mentioned above, in addition to defining shield-receiving void 46, further defines an emitter-receiving void 47 extending from emitter-insertion opening 44 and facing emitter 20. It can be seen that shield-insertion opening 43 and emitter-receiving opening 44 are in communication and form a single proximal-end opening 410.

- Base portion 54 extends from shield portion 53 away from light emitter 20 at proximal end 41 of lensing member 40.
- Reflective front surface 51 is on shield portion 53.
- FIGURES 5, 6 and 22 illustrate light emitter 20 as an LED package 22 which includes an LED 26 and a primary lens 23 over the LED.
- lensing member 40 is a secondary lens placed over primary lens 23, with reflective front surface 51 of shield member 50 generally facing primary lens 23.
- FIGURES 5, 6 and 22 show primary lens 23 as substantially rotationally symmetrical around emitter axis 21.
- Primary lens 23 is substantially hemispherical.
- LED package 22 shown in FIGURE 22 includes a ring 24 around primary lens 23 on a base 25. Ring 24 serves to position lens 23 and reflect some light from the LED to assist in generation of illumination pattern 28, illustrated in FIGURE 23.
- Lensing member 40 includes an outward flange 48 around the opening(s) at proximal end 41. Flange 48, and thus lensing member 40, are secured with respect to a mounting board 14 which is part of a lighting fixture that includes a plurality of light-directing apparatuses of the sort described.
- Flange 48 has an inner surface 480 facing mounting board 14 when mounted thereon.
- Base portion 54 of shield member 50 is shown to be against inner i surface 480 of flange 48.
- Flange 48 is further shown to have a special shape 49 such as a cut corner, to indicate the orientation with respect to preferential side 11. Such feature is helpful in assembly of lighting fixtures using light-directing apparatus 10.
- Lighting fixture 30 shown in FIGURES 15-19 utilizes a plurality of light emitters 20 spaced from one another on mounting board 14 and oriented with substantially parallel axes.
- a light-directing apparatus 100 is positioned over light emitters 20 for off-axial preferential-side distribution of light from emitters 20.

- Lenses 40 are arranged in a substantially circular pattern.
- FIGURES 16 and 17 illustrate a lighting fixture 30A in which lenses 40 have their preferential sides 11 in the same lateral direction, thereby to facilitate illumination toward one lateral direction.
- FIGURES 18 and 19 show a lighting fixture 30B in which lenses 40 have their preferential sides 11 oriented in a substantially radially outward directions with respect to the circular pattern to give broad illumination which is generally symmetrical with respect to fixture 3OB, as shown.
- lensing members 40 are each separate pieces, it should be recognized that in certain light-fixture uses utilizing a plurality of lensing members 40, such as the fixtures illustrated in FIGURES 15-19, lensing members 40 could be incorporated into a single formed member with each lens oriented in the desired direction.
- a roadway 13 is schematically illustrated with a light fixture 30C, which is in accordance with this invention, mounted at the top of a light pole 15 installed along roadway 13, with lighting fixture 3OC positioned over the curb, which is illustrated by a curb line 17 (shown in dotted line).
- the direction arrow marked by reference number 11 indicates a preferential side (toward the roadway), and the direction arrow marked by reference number 12 points toward the opposite, non-preferential side.
- FIGURE 20 illustrates relative intensity distribution 61 by inventive light- directing apparatus 10, demonstrating that a great majority of the light emanating from apparatus 10 is redirected toward the preferential side 11, with no more than a minimal light reaching the non-preferential side 12. In other words, the amount of "trespass light" is minimized.
- FIGURE 2OA provides a comparison to show the advantaged of the invention.
- FIGURE 2OA is a two-dimensional illumination intensity distribution 62 by single- light-emitter 20 with single primary lens 23 and a secondary lens which is substantially comparable in design to lensing member 40 but for the fact that it does not accommodate an inserted or embedded shield member.
- the illumination pattern 62 in FIGURE 20 A shows, among other things, a greater amount of light toward the non-preferential side 12 than is the case in FIGURE 20, which was generated using the present invention.
- Light patterns 61 and 62 were generated using optical ray-tracing software to simulate the illumination intensity emanating from the respective apparatus.
