Abstract

A device, kit, and method for a luminaire having a first LED module with a first length and a plurality of LEDs, said LEDs disposed at predetermined pitch. A second LED module having a second length and a plurality of LEDs, said LEDs disposed at the same pitch as the first module. Wherein said first LED module and said second LED module have at least one LED disposed one half of the pitch from an edge of the LED module which when combined provide for uniform lighting across multiple LED modules. Certain embodiments may include one or more hubs for mounting the luminaire on predetermined centers.

Claims (22)

1. A device comprising:

a first LED module, said first LED module having a first length and a plurality of LEDs, said LEDs disposed at predetermined pitch;

a second LED module, said second LED module having a second length and a plurality of LEDs, said LEDs disposed at the same pitch as the first module and said second length different from said first length;

wherein said first LED module and said second LED module have at least one LED disposed one half of the pitch from an edge of the LED module.

2. The device of claim 1 wherein the first length and the second length together are substantially 22 inches or 14 inches.

3. The device of claim 1 wherein the first length and the second length together is substantially 475 millimeters.

4. The device of claim 1 wherein the first LED module is disposed a predetermined distance from a first hub.

5. The device of claim 4 wherein the second LED module is disposed said predetermined distance from a second hub, said second hub having substantially the same length as said first hub.

6. A method comprising:

selecting a primary LED module, said primary LED module having a first length and including a plurality of LEDs spaced at a predetermined pitch;

selecting a secondary LED module, said secondary LED module having a second length and including a plurality of LEDs spaced at the predetermined pitch said second length different from said first length;

coupling the primary LED module and the secondary LED module to a chassis such that the distance between an LED on the primary LED module and an LED on the secondary LED module is substantially equal to the predetermined pitch.

7. The method of claim 6 wherein the first length and the second length together are substantially either 22 inches or 14 inches.

8. The method of claim 6 wherein the first length and the second length together is substantially 475 millimeters.

9. The method of claim 6 wherein the first LED module is disposed a predetermined distance from a first hub.

10. The method of claim 9 wherein the second LED module is disposed said predetermined distance from a second hub, said second hub having substantially the same length as said first hub.

11. A kit comprising:

a first module, said first module having a first length and a plurality of light sources, said light sources disposed at predetermined pitch;

a second module, said second module having a second length, said second length different from said first length, and a plurality of light sources, said light sources disposed at the same pitch as the first module;

wherein said first module and said second module have at least one light source disposed one half of the pitch from an edge of the module.

12. The kit of claim 11 wherein the first length and the second length together are substantially 22 inches or 14 inches.

13. The kit of claim 11 wherein the first length and the second length together is substantially 475 millimeters.
