Encapsulated LED lighting module with integral gas venting
Abstract:
A lighting apparatus includes a substrate and a light source electrically connected to the substrate. A lens is positioned over the light source, the lens at least partially defining a space about the light source. A frame is connected to the substrate, the frame including a vent hole communicated with an exterior of the apparatus. A vent channel is at least partially defined between the lens and the substrate, the vent channel communicating the space about the light source with the vent hole. The vent channel and vent hole ventilate gases present in the space about the light source. An encapsulant at least partially covers the substrate and the lens. The frame can include an opening, the frame connected to a peripheral edge of the substrate with the substrate at least partially covering the opening. A heat sink can be contacted with the substrate.
