An inventive LED-based lamp, lamp cover component, and methods for manufacturing thereof are disclosed which provides a light diffusive lamp cover having a diffusivity (transmittance) that is different for different areas (zones or regions) of the cover. The diffusivity and location of those areas are configured so that the emission pattern of the whole lamp meets desired emissions characteristics and optical efficiency levels. The diffusive cover may have any number of specifically delineated diffusivity areas. Alternatively, the cover may provide a gradient of increasing/decreasing diffusivity portions over the cover.

Solid-state lamps with omnidirectional emission patterns

A lamp comprises: a dish-shaped (parabolic); an LED operable to generate excitation light; a light guide configured to extend along an axis of the reflector, wherein light generated by the at least one LED is coupled into a first end of the light guide and wherein light is emitted from the light guide at a light emitting surface that is in proximity to a second end of the light guide and at least one phosphor material provided as a layer on at least a part of the light emitting surface of the light guide. An LED light bulb is also disclosed.

LED-based lamps

A color tunable light source comprises: a first light emitting diode (LED) arrangement operable to emit light of a first color and a second LED arrangement operable to emit light of a second color, the combined light output comprising the output of the source. One or both LED arrangements comprises a phosphor provided remote to an associated LED operable to generate excitation energy of a selected wavelength range and to irradiate the phosphor such that it emits light of a different color wherein light emitted by the LED arrangement comprises the combined light from the LED and phosphor and control means operable to control the color by controlling the relative light outputs of the two LED arrangements. The color can be controlled by controlling the relative magnitude of the drive currents of the LEDs or by controlling a duty cycle of PWM drive current.
