A led flexible
strip device includes a stretched out flexible tube having a translucent tube
spend and opposed tube finishes along with a flexible circuit board occur the
tube to ensure that it stretches between your tube finishes. The flexible
circuit board has opposed exterior and interior surfaces. Electrical circuitry
is mounted towards the circuit board and linked to an exterior input source as
well as an output supply of electrical energy.
The circuit board
defines numerous cut-outs, ideally individuals of the generally gemstone shape.
The unit is referred to in 2 embodiments: one with inwardly directed LED lights
around the circuit board directed in to the tube and something with outwardly
directed LED light around the circuit board directed from the tube. The
technique of creating the brought flexible strip system is also referred to.
brought flexible
strip strips, also known as rope lights, can be used for lighting both exterior
and interior structures and can be used as sign programs. Existing lighting
strips do not let a mix of versatility and rigidity preferred buyers to
configure rope lights into any selected configuration effortlessly. Color
chasing after and color mixing abilities are restricted.
Prior art within
the sign industry includes the effective use of neon lamps, fluorescent lamps,
and incandescent lamps. The disadvantages for neon and fluorescent lamps
include difficulty in beginning in cold temps, harmful high-current operation,
and the existence of mercury that consequently produces an environment hazard.
Incandescent lamps generate a lot of warmth, have poor potential to deal with
vibration, have short light existence, and consume considerable amounts of
one's which means that the majority of their light energy is wasted as infrared
warmth energy.
Light giving off
diode (Brought) technology allows the alternative of short light existence with
longer light existence and deficient light sources using energy-efficient light
sources which are lengthy resided and cooler running. Color output LED lights
can emit red-colored (R), eco-friendly (G), blue (B), and yellow (Y) light, or
whitened light. Better color mixing with better color rendering compared to
prior art technologies are an effect. Color additive mixing of LED lights can
establish the secondary colors cyan (C), yellow (Y),green (M) and whitened
light. Mixing eco-friendly and blue gives cyan. Mixing eco-friendly and
red-colored gives yellow. Mixing red-colored and blue gives green. Mixing RGB
along with a separate Y creates a truer whitened light with better color
rendering than simply mixing RGB.
It's noted that
color gel filters aren't necessary with RGBY color mixing light technology,
which creates the entire light spectrum. Color efficiency in LED light is way
better than incandescent filament lamps, which need a specific color gel or
filter. This could waste as much as about 90 % from the light energy of
incandescent lamps. LED light however deliver 100 % of the energy as light and
additional emit a far more intense selected colored light. This
energy-efficiency of LED light stretches towards the giving off of whitened
light too. You will find two methods for using LED light to create whitened
light within this invention: 1) using LED light that leave whitened light
solely, or 2) using LED light to emit RGBY simultaneously and also at equal
output intensities.
Besides producing
less warmth, LED light tend to be more energy-efficient, stronger, and
traverses conventional light sources. The solid condition style of LED light means
they are durable and powerful and provides them the capacity of enduring shock,
vibration, frequent energy cycling and operation in extreme cold and warm
temps. LED light come with an average functional existence of typically 100,000
hrs or even more when operated within design specifications. LED lights are
mercury free. LED technology now includes multi-nick and multi-light Brought
arrays, to ensure that LED lights can be found in an array of colors in unique
combinations. Clearly for a lot of programs LED light now compete directly with
incandescent filament, neon, and fluorescent light sources.
Within the
preferred embodiment from the present invention, light giving off diodes in
various colors could be mounted onto an adaptable circuit board that's twisted
right into a helix and placed right into a flexible tubular housing. This
excellent mixture of a flexible circuit board along with a flexible tubular
housing will permit a far more versatile and enhanced flexible shape retaining
rope light and cove light. Additionally, the simplicity of manufacturability
and full 360-degree Omni-directional and uniform light dispersion is essential.
Within an
alternate embodiment from the present invention, light giving off diodes in
whitened and various colors are mounted onto a set lengthy flexible circuit
board with multiple repeating cutouts ideally gemstone formed that extend with
the circuit board substrate. The circuit board will be folded right into a
cylinder using the LED light mounted towards the interior from the circuit
board and pointing inwards in to the cylinder or else, the LED lights are
mounted to the outside of the circuit board and pointing outwards in the
cylinder, or both. The whole round set up is placed right into a flexible outer
tubular housing. A stiffening member within the outer tubular housing and
optionally around the flexible circuit board itself allows the complete Brought
lighting strip to become flexible due to the gemstone formed cutouts provided
around the flexible circuit board, and can permit some rigidity and memory for
correct installation and set up from the complete brought flexible strip. This unique
mixture of an adaptable circuit board along with a flexible tubular housing
will permit a far more versatile and enhanced flexible shape retaining rope
light, cove light, and signs light. Additionally, this invention has easy
manufacturability and full 360-degree Omni-directional and uniform light
dispersion that's extremely important. Previous inventions happen to be
developed to make this happen task, but haven't been effective.
Color Kinetic's I Color
Accent, Cove, and Fresco type of Brought fittings can be found only in rigid
linear transparent or translucent enclosures that provide no versatility or
flexibility whatsoever. To attain a circular arrangement, for instance,
multiple linear fittings need to be aligned edge to edge to approximate the
curved outline. The I Color Accent, Cove, and Fresco fittings also employ rigid
circuit boards using the LED lights mounted verticals with respect towards the
circuit boards, and so the light dispersion output in the LED lights are
usually within the forward direction offering only for the most part roughly
180 levels of coverage.
An item from the
present invention is to supply a brought flexible strip that may accomplish the
functions of known rope lights, cove lighting, and signs lighting with greater
energy-efficiency and Omni-directional light dispersion with color mixing,
color altering, and color chasing after abilities.
