Segmented Light Distribution Element for Adaptive LED Lamp Configurations
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional light distribution elements for LED lamps are inflexible and cannot effectively adapt to special-shaped spaces, limiting their installation and lighting performance in non-standard environments.
Innovation Solution
A light distribution element composed of multiple subsections that can be combined to form various shapes, including virtual circumferences through translation, allowing for adaptive configurations that match specific spaces while maintaining identical optical properties to traditional circular or annular elements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional light distribution elements are used, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the adaptability to special-shaped spaces is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The light distribution element is divided into multiple independent subsections, each capable of being positioned independently. These subsections can be arranged in different configurations (linear, circular, irregular patterns) to adapt to various installation spaces while maintaining individual structural simplicity for easy manufacturing.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple subsections are combined to form special shapes, then the adaptability to special-shaped spaces is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The subsections are designed with universal connection interfaces and standardized optical properties, allowing the same basic component to be used in multiple configurations (single linear arrangement, circular arrangement, or irregular patterns). This reduces the variety of unique components needed while maintaining high configurability for different spaces.

AI summary
A light distribution element and a lamp are provided. The lamp includes a plurality of subsections combined with each other, each of the plurality of subsections is a part of a circumference, and the plurality of subsections can be located on at least one virtual circumference by movement. The light distribution element of the present application includes a plurality of subsections combined with each other, which is favorable for providing the lamp with a special-shaped configuration, thus facilitating the use of the lamp.
