Abstract

An optical member includes a curved portion comprising an optically transmissive material. The enclosure has an outer surface and an inner surface opposite the outer surface. At least one light redirection feature protrudes from the inner surface. At least one indentation defined on the outer surface is configured to refract light.

Claims (24)

1. A lighting device, comprising:

a housing comprising a base having a first surface opposite a second surface, and at least one central wall extending along a longitudinal axis of the base to a curved outer wall surrounding the first surface of the base and extending away from the second surface of the base; and

a light source mounted on the second surface of the base.

2. The lighting device of claim 1 further comprising a cavity extending between an outer edge of the first surface and the outer wall.

3. The lighting device of claim 1 wherein the first surface slopes to the outer edge such that a thickness of the base near the central wall is greater than a thickness of the base near the outer edge thereof.

4. The lighting device of claim 1 wherein the light source comprises one or more LED elements disposed in the housing.

5. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the light source is mounted to the second surface by a bracket, an adhesive material, or both.

6. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the light source is mounted to the second surface by an adhesive material or a bracket in combination with an adhesive material, wherein the adhesive material comprises a UV curable silicone.

7. The lighting device of claim 1 , further comprising an ambient light sensor.

8. The lighting device of claim 7 , wherein the ambient light sensor extends vertically from a top side of the housing.

9. A lighting device comprising:

a housing comprising a base having a first surface opposite a second surface, at least one central wall extending along a longitudinal axis of the base to a curved outer wall surrounding the first surface of the base and extending away from the second surface of the base, and a plurality of curved fins extending between the central wall and the curved outer wall the base; and

a light source mounted on the second surface of the base.

10. The lighting device of claim 9 , wherein the curved fins extend to a perimeter of the curved outer wall.

11. The lighting device of claim 10 , wherein the curved fins extend outward from the longitudinal axis.

12. The lighting device of claim 9 wherein the first surface slopes to the outer edge such that a thickness of the base near the central wall is greater than a thickness of the base near the outer edge thereof.

13. The lighting device of claim 9 wherein the light source comprises one or more LED elements disposed in the housing.

14. The lighting device of claim 9 , wherein the light source is mounted to the second surface by a bracket, an adhesive material, or both.

15. The lighting device of claim 9 , wherein the light source is mounted to the second surface by an adhesive material or a bracket in combination with an adhesive material, wherein the adhesive material comprises a UV curable silicone.

16. The lighting device of claim 9 , further comprising an ambient light sensor.

17. The lighting device of claim 16 , wherein the ambient light sensor extends vertically from a top side of the housing.

18. The lighting device of claim 9 further comprising a cavity extending between an outer edge of the first surface and the outer wall.

19. The lighting device of claim 18 , wherein the cavity extends between adjacent curved fins.

20. The lighting device of claim 9 , wherein the curved fins curve in a direction away from the longitudinal axis.
