Background of the invention
[0002] In the present era the advances in the development and improvements of the luminous flux of light-emitting devices such as semiconductor, organic or polymer light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have made enormous devices suitable for use in general illumination applications, including architectural, entertainment, and roadway lighting, are some example. As such, LEDs are becoming increasingly competitive with light sources such as incandescent, fluorescent, and high-intensity discharge lamps.LEDs offer a number of advantages and are generally chosen for their ruggedness, long lifetime, high efficiency, low voltage requirements, and the possibility to control the color and intensity of the emitted light independently. The LED provides an efficient long lasting fife span. Solid state lighting sources have the capability to create the same lighting impressions but outweigh the drawbacks associated with the other lighting technologies.
[0003] Furthermore, the LED is used to iiluminate a parking area or structure must be of sturdy construction to withstand wind and other forces and to resist weathering yet be light enough to allow for ease of installation. Additionally, such a luminaire should be aesthetically pleasing. Advances in light emitting diode (LED) technology have resulted in wide adoption of luminaires that incorporate such devices. While LEDs can be used alone to produce light without the need for supplementary optical devices, it has been found that optical modifiers, such as Senses, reflectors, optical waveguides, and combinations thereof, can significantly improve illumination distribution for particular applications.

Therefore, specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to variously employ the present invention.
[00025] The main embodiment of the present invention relates to a modular LED
based canopy/flood lightlOO. The canopy/flood light in the present invention comprise of at least one LED108, one MCPCB112, plurality of Iens109, one frame111, one heat smk105, at least one heat sink clamp104, one driver102, at least one driver clamp101, one Surge Protection Devices (SPD)103, plurality of m5 screw and plurality of m3 screw107, at least one thermal tape110, at least one electric pluck113. Fig. Ishows the schematic diagram of the modular based canopy/flood light.
[00026] The Iens109 in the present invention are manufactures using
polycarbonate material. These Iens109 have excellent Light Transmittance characteristics and offers high resistance to temperature and weather conditions. These Iens109 increase the efficiency of lighting by increasing the lumens. The Iens109 are mounted on the LED108. The LED108 used in the present invention is of high power rating of 4 W (watt) to 6 W (watt) and it is full compliance to the IP 68. The LED108 then mounted on the heat sink105. The thermal tape110which are placed between MCPCB112and the heat sink105. The thermal tape110 affect the die temperature and give a long life span of the LED108. The frame111 is attached to the MCPCB112 and the heat sink105. The LED108 and the Iens109 are mounted over the MCPCB112 with plurality of screw107. The screw107 used in the present invention may be M3 screw or M5 screw.
The heat sink 105co!iects the heat from the MCPCB 112and transfer the heat to the fluid medium. The fluid medium is such as air. The heat sink105 is attached with the heat sink clamp 104 and attached with the frame111. The driver 102 and the SPD in the present invention are fitted on a clamp with heat sink 105through plurality of
Page 8 of 14
screw. The external Power source deliver current to the driver 102 through the electric wires and suitable piug.
[00027] According to another embodiment of the present invention the driver102,
control the flow of current to the LED 108and regulate the ON and OFF operation of the canopy/flood light. The driver 102 or electronic control gear keep the pace of the required lumens from the canopy/flood light. The driveti02 is exposed to the natural air which facilitate the heat dissipation from the driver102. The heat dissipation keeps the driver cooi and affect the life of the driver102. The driver102 is fixed on the heat sink105 by using driver clamped. The driver clamped is fixed with the driver!02 by using plurality of screwl07.
[00028] Fig. 2 depicts the schematic diagram of the heat sink 105present in one
embodiment of the present invention. The heat sink 105are made up aluminum alloy. AA 6063 T6 is used, with good thermal conductivity value 210 W/m. K. The heat sink105 are connected to the frame 111 and the SPD103. The heat sinkclamped104 used to attach the heat sink105to the frame111 and the MCPCB112. Heat sinks105are used with high-power optoelectronics such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), where the heat dissipation ability of the component itself is in-sufficient to moderate its temperature. The heat sink 105acts as a passive heat exchanger that transfers the heat generated high Power LEDs108 to a fluid medium, e.g. air where it is dissipated away from the LEDs108, thereby allowing regulation of the LEDs108 temperature at optimal levels. The heat sink 105has been designed to maximize its surface area in contact with the cooling medium surrounding it, such as the air. Air velocity, choice of material, protrusion design and surface treatment are factors that has been taken into consideration while designing, which affect the performance of a heat sink105. Heat sink105 attachment methods to MCPCB112 via thermal tape have also been taken into consideration and optimized as they affect the die temperature of high power LEDs108 which ultimately affect its life. The heat sink105 is treated with environmental friendly chemical process called Alluding (An up-gradation on Anodizing) which maintains its shining and makes it weather resistant. Thermal conductivity is also improved by this process and LEDs 108operate at much lower junction temperature increasing over all reliability. After alluding the heat sink105 is subjected to the operation of drilling, tapping and surface preparation by
Page 9 of 14
CNC machines. Appropriate Surface finish ensures proper fitment of MCPCB112 with heatsink105 without any possibility of generating any HOT SPOT formations. Heat dissipation is very good as the temperature coefficient of MCPCB112 and Aluminum extrusions is almost the same. This also ensures proper thermal dissipation, as there is negligible thermal resistance between the two surfaces which provides facility to LEDs108to operate at much lower junction temperature, result in high reliability and very low Lumen depreciation.
[00029] Another embodiment of the present invention is the Surge Protection
Devices (SPD)103 that prevent the modular led based canopy/flood lightlOO from potentially dangerous Surges and Spikes generated in the Electrical environment. Surge Protection Devices103 are fitted on the clamp, near the heat sink105, ensuring total Flexibility and Integrity of Luminary of the modular led based canopy/flood lightlOO. Moreover since SPD 103 is mounted in close proximity by virtue of its flexible design to driver102, its effectiveness and protection level is enhanced many folds, ensuring very high reliability over the years.
[00030] Still another embodiment of the present invention is the multiple uses of
modular LED based canopy/flood lightlOO is for flexibility and scalability of Power rating / lumen rating of the Luminary, as per requirement. The single module of LED based canopy/flood lightlOO is fabricated. Multiple fabricated modules of LED based canopy/flood Iight100are then paralleled in the same frame as per requirement to get higher lumens along with the matching driver/control gear102, are put in parallel in the designated Frame 111to achieve the required output of the luminary. External (SPD) Surge Protection Device103, if required can also be put additionally on the same framel 11, which has provision for it. For examples:
Suppose we make a Standard module of Power rating of 80W +/- 10%, means its rating can be tuned between 72W and 88W. In case we want to make luminary of 80W, then we shall be using only 1 fabricated module of LED based canopy/flood lightlOO along with the matching driver/control gear102 and put them in a framel 11 to make a luminary.
Similarly, if we want to make a luminary of 150VV, we shall be using two nos. of fabricated modular LED based canopy/flood lightlOO along with two nos. of matching
Page 10 of 14
drivers /Control gear102to make a Luminary. Electrical Input of these drivers102shall be made parallel and connected to the Input Power Source. If required, a Common External Surge Protection Device may be used for both the Modules. In that case, after making electrical inputs of both the driver!02gear parallel, the same should be connected ai the output of External Surge Protection Device, While Input of Surge Protection device shall be connected to Input Power Source.
Similarly, if we want to make a luminary of 350W, then we shall be using four nos. of fabricated modular LED based canopy/flood lightlOO along with four nos. of matching drivers /Control gear!02 to make a Luminary. Electrical input of these drivers102 shall be made parallel and connected to the Input Power Source. As in the case above if required, a common External Surge Protection Device may be used for all the four Modules. In that case, after making electrical inputs of all the four drivers102gear parallel, the same should be connected at the output of External Surge Protection Device, While Input of Surge Protection device shall be connected to Input Power Source.
