A light fixture is disclosed, and includes a light emitting diode (LED) engine including plurality of LEDs that transmit visible light. The light fixture also includes a waveguide, where the LEDs of the LED engine surround the waveguide and transmit the visible light in a direction towards the waveguide. The light fixture also includes a second element that provides a secondary service. The light fixture also includes a housing that defines a cavity, where the LED engine and waveguide are positioned within the cavity proximate the front of the light fixture, and the a secondary element is positioned within the cavity toward the rear of the light fixture.

Edge-lit light fixture having capabilities for a secondary service

A light bulb is disclosed, and includes a screw shell defining a cavity, a screw shell insulator, and a driver board. The screw shell insulator defines a passageway that terminates in an aperture. The driver board includes a positive leg that projects from a proximal edge of the driver board, with a proximal end portion that protrudes outside of the aperture, and a negative leg that projects from the proximal edge of the driver board, with a proximal end portion that is electrically connected to the screw shell. The positive leg is configured to extend through the passageway to make electrical contact with a positive terminal of a light socket. Variants in which a base shell and the legs are configured for bayonet type, multifaceted reflector, and T8-like bases are also disclosed.

Conductive driver board for light bulb

A downlight fixture is disclosed, and includes a lens defining at least one lens opening, a reflector, and a housing. The reflector defines at least one first retaining feature and at least one second retaining feature. The at least one lens opening is shaped to receive a corresponding first reflector retaining feature to interlock the lens and the reflector with one another. The housing defines at least one housing opening shaped to receive a corresponding second retaining feature to interlock the housing and the reflector with one another. The lens, the reflector, and the housing are each constructed of plastic.

Plastic downlight fixture having interlocking attachment features

A lighting device is disclosed, and includes at least one lighting element for emitting light, an inner diffuser, and an outer diffuser. The inner diffuser defines a lighting cavity and an outer surface, where the at least one lighting element is located within the lighting cavity. The outer diffuser surrounds the inner diffuser. The outer diffuser defines an inner surface. The outer surface of the inner diffuser and the inner surface of the outer diffuser cooperate together to define a space between the inner diffuser and the outer diffuser. The inner diffuser and the outer diffuser spread and blend the light emitted by the at least one lighting element.

Lighting device including multiple diffusers for blending light

A lamp heat sink includes a plurality of heat dissipating fins disposed around a body and extending away from the body. The lamp heat sink further comprises a heat dissipating circumferent skirt surrounding the body and disposed between the plurality of heat dissipating fins. The lamp heat sink further comprises a plurality of channels disposed around the body, formed by the plurality of heat dissipating fins and the heat dissipating circumferent skirt. The plurality of channels each include an intake opening configured to receive cold air and an exhaust opening configured to release warm air.

Lamp heat sink

A lamp includes an LED assembly and a heat sink in thermal communication with the LED assembly. The heat sink includes a plurality of fins disposed around a body and extending away from the body. The lamp includes a plurality of lenses disposed around the body, in between the plurality of fins. A lens includes a slot disposed at the top of the lens and a protruding pin configured to engage with a hole on the heat sink. The lamp also includes a cap disposed at the top of the lamp. The cap includes a plurality of ridges configured to align with and interlock with the grooves of the plurality of lenses.

Omni-directional LED lamp

A lamp comprises an optical lens. The lamp further comprises a self-locking trim ring including a plurality of teeth. The self-locking trim ring is disposed over the optical lens. The lamp further comprises a heat sink. The heat sink has an inner chamber wherein the optical lens is disposed in the inner chamber. The heat sink also has an outer chamber disposed radially outwardly from the inner chamber. The outer chamber has a recess that engages the plurality of teeth. The self-locking trim ring secures the optical lens to the heat sink.

Self-locking trim ring and channel for optic lens

An LED lamp includes a thermally conductive base including an appendage protruding from a center of a first end and an opening to cavity on a second end. The appendage includes a channel coupled to the cavity. The LED lamp further includes an LED assembly disposed at an end of the protruding appendage and in thermal communication with the base. The LED assembly further includes a bulb disposed on the first end, wherein the appendage protrudes in a direction towards the center of the bulb, and wherein the LED assembly is proximate to the center of the bulb. The LED assembly further includes an electrical housing, configured to house an electrical module, disposed inside the cavity of the base. An electrical wire disposed inside the channel electrically couples the LED assembly to the electrical module.
