Problems solved by technology

In order to replace the LED lighting unit to properly illuminate the light box sign, multiple strings of LEDs facing in opposite directions are required in order to illuminate the front and rear panels, causing high cost of LEDs
Additionally, replacement of conventional fluorescent lamps with replacement LED lighting units requires existing ballasts and lamp holders to be modified or replaced in order for the replacement LED lighting unit to operate correctly or to remove the ballast and use the electronic driver built into the LED lamp to operate on mains voltage Running replacement lamps, thus further increasing costs

Embodiment Construction

[0026] refer to figure 1 , shows an LED module 10 that directly fits into an existing linear fluorescent light fixture in applications such as office lighting fixtures, high bay lighting fixtures, sign light fixtures, refrigerator light fixtures, and the like. When fitted into an existing linear fluorescent light fixture, the LED module 10 illuminates the opposite side of the existing linear fluorescent light fixture. The LED module 10 is also directly connected to the power mains or the existing linear fluorescent lamps through the dual-pin, recessed dual-pin, R17D socket (recessed dual-way dual-pin) or single-pin connection of the existing linear fluorescent lamps ballast.

[0027] LED module 10 comprises support 12 ( image 3 shown), the circuit on the support and the corresponding side of the support and is electrically connected to the support 12 ( image 3 At least two opposing LEDs 14 and 16 of the circuit shown). LED module 10 also includes structural reinforcement...

Abstract

The invention relates to a light emitting diode module replacement for linear fluorescent, particularly, a lighting assembly for an existing linear fluorescent fixture includes a support, at least two opposing light emitting diodes (LED) on respective sides of the support configured to direct light in opposite general directions, a housing configured to cover the support and the at least two opposing LEDs; and end caps including electrical connectors to connect to electrical connections of the existing linear fluorescent fixture.

Description

technical field [0001] Exemplary embodiments relate to the field of lighting, the field of lighting, and related fields. It has particular application in connection with the replacement of fluorescent lighting systems with light emitting diode (LED) based light sources and is described with particular reference thereto. It is to be understood, however, that the exemplary embodiments also satisfy other similar applications. Background technique [0002] Light box signs use conventional fluorescent lamps and high-voltage fluorescent lighting fixtures as the lighting system. Conventional fluorescent lamps illuminate the front and rear panels of the light box sign. As LEDs become popular and ubiquitous, it is desirable to employ LED lighting units to replace conventional fluorescent lights in light box signage. [0003] Replacing fluorescent lamps with LED lighting units presents several challenges. For example, typical replacement LED lighting units for conventional high vo...
