Abstract: Linear lighting using light-emitting diode (LED) light engines is disclosed. The linear lighting includes a printed circuit board (PCB) with a number of LED light engines disposed on it. A light guide is disposed on the PCB adjacent to the LED light engines. The light guide accepts the light from the LED light engines in a first location and is arranged to emit the light at a desired position that is spaced from the first location. By lengthening the optical path, the light guide may spread the emitted light and provide a more uniform appearance for the linear lighting.

Abstract: A strip of linear lighting with distributed power conversion is disclosed. The linear lighting includes a flexible PCB. The flexible PCB is divided into repeating blocks, which are arranged electrically in parallel with one another between power and ground. Each repeating block includes power conversion and conditioning circuits. A plurality of LED light engines are connected to the outputs of the power conversion and conditioning circuits, electrically in series with one another. The power conversion and conditioning circuits typically include at least a full-bridge rectifier, and a filter may be connected to each of the LED light engines. A pair of conductors run the length of the PCB adjacent to it and are connected to each of the repeating blocks. A flexible, transparent covering surrounds the PCB and pair of conductors.

Abstract: Junction boxes for enclosing and making electrical connections to LED drivers are disclosed. The junction boxes include a bottom or base and a cover. Dividers arising from the base divide the junction box into high-voltage and low-voltage compartments. A cut-out open at the top of each divider allows a driver to be placed in a junction box without having to pull wires through holes or openings. Typically, the base is open along the top and along at least a portion of one sidewall, with the cover being L- or U-shaped to complete the enclosure. Various mounting mechanisms are disclosed for securing drivers within junction boxes. Embodiments that can house several drivers or components within one junction box are disclosed, as are weather- and water-resistant embodiments.

Abstract: Connectors for connecting light emitting diode (LED) strip light to power are disclosed. The connectors include a housing with a first opening sized to accept an LED strip light and a second opening for a power cord or electrical leads. The openings open into an interior cavity with an internal vertical barrier to separate power and ground leads. Gripping structures proximate to the first opening retain the strip light. A gasket or gaskets within the connector seal the connector from the elements. The second opening may carry a strain relief molded to the power cord. Additionally, an adapter or nipple may be provided to connect the connector to conduit.

Abstract: A joint support and strain relief that provides support for the entire joint between a power cord and a strip light is disclosed. The joint support and strain relief is comprised of a cuff portion that defines a curved interior channel designed to cradle a power cord and a contiguous spade portion in the form of a thin, flat, generally rectangular plate. The strip light is typically secured to the spade portion with adhesive. The spade portion may have sidewalls to assist with the alignment of the strip light, and those sidewalls may have attached to their upper edges horizontally inwardly-extending tabs parallel to and above the bottom of the spade portion. The joint support and strain relief may also have tabs with holes or openings that allow the piece to be attached to a substrate.

Abstract: A regulator circuit and driver including the regulator circuit use a variable-resistance element, such as a transistor, to limit the current in the circuit when the current is above a defined current threshold. The circuit may be comprised of a first amplifier circuit that senses a current in the circuit and generates a voltage signal in proportion thereto. The circuit also includes a mechanism for controlling a voltage applied to the first circuit element to limit the current flow. That may be a second amplifier circuit that takes the voltage signal from the first op amp and a reference voltage and outputs a control voltage for the variable-resistance element, or it may be a digital computing device that outputs a control voltage that causes the variable-resistance element to stop current flow for some defined period of time around current peaks.

Abstract: A voltage-regulating drive circuit for an LED luminaire is disclosed. The drive circuit includes one or several series of LED light engines. A voltage source with a regulator is connected to the series of LED light engines to forward-bias the light engines. The circuit also includes a driver integrated circuit, which may drive the series of LED light engines using, e.g., pulse-width modulation (PWM). The circuit also includes a feedback circuit connected to the cathode end of the series of LED light engines. The feedback circuit receives a remainder voltage and creates a feedback output signal that upregulates or downregulates the regulator of the voltage source to keep a minimum operating voltage on the driver integrated circuit and to compensate for variations in forward voltages among LED light engines in the series.

Abstract: Methods for controlling temperature in an LED luminaire are disclosed. The LED luminaire has one or more sets of LED light engines disposed on a printed circuit board (PCB), some or all of which are activated in response to an instruction or set of instructions. A temperature of the PCB is measured in at least one location. If the temperature exceeds a threshold, the duty cycle of active sets of LED light engines is ramped down uniformly over time.
