Abstract

A method for creating an improved signal light is disclosed. For example, the improved signal light includes a housing, one or more first type of light emitting diodes (LEDs) emitting a light energy having a first dominant wavelength deployed in the housing, one or more second type of LEDs emitting a light energy having a second dominant wavelength deployed in the housing, a filter and a mixer. The filter may filter the light energy of the one or more second type of LEDs such that only a third dominant wavelength passes from the one or more second type of LEDs. The mixer may mix the light energy having the first dominant wavelength and the filtered light energy having the third dominant wavelength to form a light energy having a desired fourth dominant wavelength.

Claims (24)

1. A light emitting diode (LED) light comprising:

a filter; and

at least one or more LEDs, wherein said at least one or more LEDs are made of Indium Gallium Nitride (InGaN) and achieve a perceived color via a blue LED that is coated with a phosphor, wherein a light of the at least one or more LEDs is filtered by the filter such that a blue light is absorbed and a yellow light passes.

2. The LED light of claim 1 , wherein the at least one or more LEDs are placed in a reflector.

3. The LED light of claim 1 , wherein said filter is located between said at least one or more LEDs and at least one outer lens.

4. The LED light of claim 1 , wherein said filter is located directly on each one of said at least one or more LEDs.

5. The LED light of claim 1 , wherein said filter is a colored filter or a dichroic filter.

6. The LED light of claim 1 , wherein said filter is deployed in a Fresnel lens.

7. The LED light of claim 1 , wherein a desired light energy of said at least one or more LEDs comprises x and y coordinates in accordance with a 1931 CIE Chromaticity Diagram within the boundaries of:

8. A method of creating a light emitting diode (LED) light comprising:

providing a filter; and

providing at least one or more LEDs, wherein said at least one or more LEDs are made of Indium Gallium Nitride (InGaN) and achieve a perceived color via a blue LED that is coated with a phosphor, wherein a light of the at least one or more LEDs is filtered by the filter such that a blue light is absorbed and a yellow light passes.
