Variable beam LED light source system
First Claim
1. A diode light source system for stage, theatrical and architectural lighting, comprising a plurality of separate flat panels for mounting a plurality of light emitting diodes that emit a plurality of diode light beams to a common focus area, each said separate panel being mounted with a plurality of grouped diodes of said plurality of diodes, each said separate panel having an outer panel portion and an inner panel portion, a housing for containing said panels, said housing having a center base portion and a circular rim defining a housing aperture aligned with a circular rim plane having a rim plane center arranged transverse to an axis aligned with said center base portion, first connecting means for flexibly securing each said outer diode panel portion to said rim, a screw arrangement for positioning said panels at a plurality of selected positions wherein each of said panels is oriented at a selected angle relative to said axis and said grouped diodes emit diode light beams transverse to each said separate panel, second connecting means for flexibly securing each said inner panel portion to said screw arrangement, and electrical circuit means associated with said panels for transmitting and controlling direct current electrical voltage to said plurality of diodes.

Abstract
A diode light source system for stage, theatrical and architectural lighting includes a plurality of separate flat panels for mounting a plurality of light emitting diodes emitting a plurality of diode light beams to a common focus area. Each separate panel is mounted with a plurality of grouped diodes of the plurality of diodes, and each has an outer panel portion and an inner panel portion. A housing containing the panels has a center base portion and a circular rim defining a housing aperture aligned with a circular rim plane having a rim plane center arranged transverse to an axis aligned with the center base portion. A first connecting means flexibly secures each outer diode panel portion to the housing rim. A screw arrangement positions the panels at a plurality of selected positions where each panel is oriented at a selected angle relative to the axis and the grouped diodes emit diode light beams transverse to each separate panel. A second connecting means flexibly secures each inner panel portion to the screw arrangement. The panels are flat and rigid and have the functions of holding the diodes and of being electrical circuit boards for transmitting direct electrical current to the diodes grouped on each separate panel. The screw arrangement comprises an elongated externally threaded cylinder rotatably aligned with the axis and a corresponding internally threaded cylindrical nut. The externally threaded cylinder is threadably mounted within the cylindrical nut. The externally threaded cylinder has opposed inner and outer end portions with the inner end portion rotatably mounted to the housing at the center base portion and the outer end spaced outwardly from the circular rim plane. The first and second flexible connecting means can each be either biasable or flexible members or biasable springs.
