Advanced LED Optics
Traditional LED packages utilize lenses attached to them that disperse the light in various angles of distribution. For instance each LED package can be fitted with 30 degree lenses in order to have the light package distribute light in a certain configuration.
The currently methodology has two drawbacks, cost and configuration as a group. Cost because each LED package has to be fitted with an individual optic and this adds costs to the overall for the optic and the process of placing the optic on the package and manufacturing this optic. Configuration is also a drawback because each of the LED packages have to be “tuned” in order to direct the light in a specific patter. That means that each package will need to be moved on the board in order to reach the right configuration as a system.
The Light-Pod fixture is designed with a patent pending adjustable optical refraction array assembly. This optical system enables the Light-Pod engineers to position and focus |

the light distribution of the LED light engine into matching optical light patterns. The custom optic is designed through a pre formed metalized plastic that can be heated into a liquid state. The metalized plastic is then pored into the steel plate with an outset channel that connects the light packages together. When the plastic cools and it is popped out of the metal mold, a custom reflector is produced that will have the properties of a custom configured optic.
The result of refraction assembly combined with two custom optic components enables the Light-Pod LED light source to efficiently be removed from the fixture, while directing the light into equal light distribution patterns of standard fluorescent fixtures.
In addition, from the Light-Pod fixture there is limited glare and no visible spotting from the outer lenses of the fixture when viewing the light source within the fixture. |
