Abstract

A lighting device includes multiple modules each having an array of LED chip connection pads, provided in groups, each group having a set of connection pads connected in parallel, with the groups being in series with each other. An optical unit is provided for shaping the light output from LED chips mounted on the pads. The groups are defined to minimize an overall spacing of the pads within the groups to mix light from the LEDs mounted on the connection pads.

Claims (45)

1 . A lighting device comprising:

a substrate;

at least two modules provided on the substrate, wherein each module comprises:

an array of LED chip connection pads;

interconnections between the chip connection pads to implement a plurality of groups of connection pads, each group comprising a plurality of connection pads in parallel, and the groups being in series with each other;

LED chips mounted on the connection pads, with at least two LED chips of different color points mounted on respective connection pads of each group;

an optical unit for shaping the light output from the LED chips; and

wherein the array of LED chip connection pads comprises a rectangular grid of chip connection pads,

wherein the rectangular grid is a 3×4 grid;

wherein a first group is a 2×2 sub-array in one corner of the grid, a third group is a 2×2 sub-array in an adjacent corner of the grid, and a second group is the remaining 4×1 sub-array;

wherein over the first, 2×2, sub-array, there are two warm white LED chips and one cyan LED chip;

over the second, 4×1, sub-array, there are one warm white LED chip and two cool white LED chips; and

over the third, 2×2, sub-array, there are two warm white LED chips, one cool white LED chip and one cyan LED chip.

2 . The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the two cyan LED chips are at a central portion of the module.

3 . The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the LED chips mounted on different groups include at least two different sets of LED color points.

4 . The lighting device of claim 1 , comprising a linear row of the modules.

5 . The lighting device of claim 4 comprising four modules.

6 . The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the optical unit comprises a reflector around the outside of the array of LED chips.

7 . The lighting device of claim 6 , wherein the reflector comprises a truncated square or rectangular based pyramid shape.

8 . The lighting device of claim 6 , wherein the optical unit comprises a lens.

9 . A lighting device comprising:

a substrate;

at least two modules provided on the substrate, wherein each module comprises:

an array of LED chip connection pads;

interconnections between the chip connection pads to implement a plurality of groups of connection pads, each group comprising a plurality of connection pads in parallel, and the groups being in series with each other;

LED chips mounted on the connection pads, with at least two LED chips of different color points mounted on respective connection pads of each group;

an optical unit for shaping the light output from the LED chips;

an optical unit for shaping the light output from the LED chips; wherein:

there are LED chips on each LED connection pad; or

within each group of LED connection pads, there is one vacant connection pad; or

within each group of LED connection pads, there are two vacant connection pads; or

different groups of LED connection pads have different numbers of vacant connection pads.

10 . A lighting device comprising:

a substrate;

at least two modules provided on the substrate, wherein each module comprises:

an array of LED chip connection pads;

interconnections between the chip connection pads to implement a plurality of groups of connection pads, each group comprising a plurality of connection pads in parallel, and the groups being in series with each other;

LED chips mounted on the connection pads, with at least two LED chips of different color points mounted on respective connection pads of each group;

an optical unit for shaping the light output from the LED chips;

an optical unit for shaping the light output from the LED chips;

wherein the LED chips mounted on all groups have the same set of LED color points; and

wherein the at least two different color points of the LED chips mounted over each group of LED connection pads comprise two of:

warm white;

cool white; and

cyan.
