Embodiments are directed to optics, light modules with such optics, and methods of assembling such light modules such that the optics are attached and sealed directly to a printed circuit board, thereby eliminating the need for gaskets and a frame and reducing the number of component parts of the light module. In some embodiments, the optics are discrete optics that can each be attached to the printed circuit board independent of the other optics.

Light module with discrete optics and methods of assembling same

Silicone-containing light fixture optics. A method for manufacturing an optical component may include mixing two precursors of silicone, opening a first gate of an optic forming device, moving the silicone mixture from the extrusion machine into the optic forming device, cooling the silicone mixture as it enters the optic forming device, filling a mold within the optic forming device with the silicone mixture, closing the first gate, and heating the silicone mixture in the mold to at least partially cure the silicone. Alternatively, a method for manufacturing an optical component may include depositing a layer of heat cured silicone optical material to an optical structure, arranging one or more at least partially cured silicone optics on the layer of heat cured silicone optical material, and heating the heat cured silicone optical material to permanently adhere the one or more at least partially cured silicone optics to the optical structure.

Silicone optics

An optical assembly and a luminaire with extreme cutoff beam control optics. The optical assembly includes a base, at least one lens, at least one light emitting diode (LED) positioned to emit light into the lens, and a curved reflector disposed adjacent to the LED. The reflector can be characterized by a first angle between a plane of the base and a first line joining a distal end of the lens furthest laterally from a first end of the reflector and a second end of the reflector located over the lens, and a second angle between the plane of the base and a second line joining a point on the lens located at the optical axis of the LED and the second end of the reflector. The first angle can be between 60° and 90°, and the second angle can be between 70° and 130°.

Extreme cutoff beam control optics

An optic having a first optic portion located on a first side of the optic and a second optic portion formed integrally with the first optic portion and located on a second side of the optic. A first cavity is defined by a first cavity inner surface in the first optic portion, the first optic portion being configured to refract light rays emitted by at least one light source. The second optic portion includes at least one total internal reflection surface and a second cavity defined at least partially by a second cavity rear surface that extends at an angle between 20° and 60°, inclusive, relative to an axis defining the height the of the optic. The second cavity rear surface is configured to refract other light rays toward the at least one total internal reflection surface, and the at least one internal reflection surface is configured to reflect the light rays toward the first side of the optic.

A light system may include a luminaire comprising one or more light emitters and at least one optic. The light system may include a remote phosphor mask that is reversibly coupled with the luminaire using at least one reversible coupling mechanism. The remote phosphor mask may include one or more phosphors admixed with an optical material. The one or more phosphors may be capable of adjusting a color temperature of emitted light from the luminaire.

Optic

An optical assembly and a luminaire with extreme cutoff beam control optics. The optical assembly includes a base, a plurality of lenses, a plurality of light emitting diodes (LED) positioned to emit light into the lenses, and a reflector having a reflective surface disposed adjacent at least one of the plurality of LEDs. The optical axis of one or more of the LEDs may be offset from a central axis of the respective lens in which it emits light. The reflective surface of the reflector may extend from the base over the one or more of the LEDs and beyond the optical axis of the one or more LEDs to direct light in a desired direction or toward a selected area (e.g., a street) and cut off light directed in an undesirable direction or area (e.g., a house).

Disclosed herein is an optical assembly and a luminaire with extreme cutoff beam control optics. The optical assembly includes a base, a plurality of lenses disposed on the base and spaced from each other, a plurality of light emitting diodes (LED), and a reflector having a curved surface (e.g., concave shape, parabolic shape, etc.) disposed adjacent to at least one of the plurality of LEDs. A central axis of an LED may be offset from a central axis of the respective lens of the plurality of lenses. The curved surface may extend from the base and curving over the at least one of the plurality of LEDs and beyond the central axis of each of the at least one of the plurality of LEDs and direct light in a desired direction or a selected area (e.g., a street side) and cut off light in other direction (e.g., a house side).

Planar optical panel for a light fixture

A luminaire may include a light engine comprising a plurality of LEDs arranged in one or more annular rows. The luminaire may include an optic. The optic may include an annular optic body having a light entrance side facing the plurality of LEDs and a light exit side opposite the light entrance side. A plurality of annular grooves may be defined within the light exit side, the plurality of annular grooves being coaxial with the optic body. A plurality of arc-shaped grooves may be defined within the light exit side. Each of the plurality of arc-shaped grooves may be convex relative to a center of the optic. Each of the plurality of arc-shaped grooves may intersect at least one of the plurality of annular grooves. The optic may be configured to produce a Unified Glare Rating of less than 28.

Luminaire with tri-radial optic

An optic for aisle lighting includes a portion of an optical material defined by a length and a cross-sectional profile. The cross-sectional profile is characterized by a cavity within the optical material, two upwardly-facing surfaces of the optical material on opposite sides of the cavity from one another, and downwardly-facing surfaces of the optical material. The cavity is bounded by an upward facing aperture, and at least three faces of the optical material that meet at interior angles. Light received through the upward facing aperture is separated at the interior angles, and refracted by the faces of the optical material, into separate light beams equal in number to the faces. The two upwardly-facing surfaces internally reflect the separate light beams downwardly. The downwardly-facing surfaces intercept respective portions of the separate light beams, and refract the portions as they exit the optic.

Symmetric linear optic

A luminaire includes a housing, a luminous zone coupled with the housing, and one or more transition zones coupled with the housing and disposed adjacent to the luminous zone. The luminous zone provides a first light to an illuminated area, and the one or more transition zones provide a second light to the illuminated area. The first light is harsher than the second light. A method of illuminating an area includes providing a first light to the area from a luminous zone of a luminaire and providing a second light to the area from one or more transition zones disposed adjacent to the luminous zone within the luminaire. The first light is a harsher light than the second light.
