Abstract

An LED light is set out where there is a conical reflecting chamber and a rear housing to accommodate a series of light emitting diodes, each diode residing in a chamber adapted therefore, said chambers being both wide and narrow, and a circuit board contacts and pins for providing power thereto.

Claims

1. An LED light and reflector comprising:

a housing that is open on one end and adapted to retain a power transferring means on the other;

a reflector means adapted to be placed within said open and conically shaped end and possessing a plurality of individual chambers

a plurality of light emitting diodes corresponding to said plurality of individual chambers such that said chambers form a honeycomb arrangement of

a plurality of outer and inner chambers wherein said outer and inner chambers possess upstanding chamber walls, so that said outer chamber walls are taller than said inner chamber walls.

2. A plurality of outer and inner chambers as described in claim 1 wherein said outer chambers are larger in diameter than said inner chambers.

3. A plurality of outer and inner chambers as described in claim 1 wherein said outer chambers, inner chambers and the area in between is reflective.

4. A plurality of outer and inner chambers as described in claim 2 wherein the walls of wider chambers are further comprised of an inner wall and a wider outer wall integral thereto.

12. A circuit board as described in claim 4 further comprising:

a printed circuit board adapted to receive;

power from a power source, said power source being remote from said LED light and reflector;

a bridge rectifier adapted to convert alternating current to direct current;

a resistor sufficient to regulate said direct current and providing power to;

a plurality of LEDS, said plurality of light emitting diodes being disposed in series;

a resistor to regulate power exiting from said plurality of light emitting diodes; and

a means to transmit the power back to said bridge rectifier and to said power source.

13. A means to transmit power as described in claim 12 wherein said means is a printed circuit.

14. A plurality of LEDS as described in claim 12 wherein said LEDS are wired in parallel.

5. An LED light and reflector comprising:

a housing that is conically shaped and open on one end and shaped to be adapted to retain a power transferring means on the other;

a reflector adapted to be placed within said open and conically shaped end possessing a plurality of individual chambers

a plurality of light emitting diodes corresponding to said plurality of individual chambers such that said chambers form a honeycomb arrangement of

a plurality of outer and inner chambers wherein said outer and inner chambers possess upstanding chamber walls, and

a circuit board in communication with said plurality of light emitting diodes on one side and at least two contacts on the other side to provide a regulated current to said plurality of light emitting diodes and forming a chamber thereby.

7. A plurality of outer and inner chambers as in claim 5 forming outer chambers and inner chambers of different widths.

6. An LED light and reflector comprising:

a housing that is conically shaped and open on one end and shaped to be adapted to retain a power transferring means on the other;

a reflector adapted to be in communication with said conically shaped open end, said reflector possessing a plurality of individual chambers

a plurality of light emitting diodes corresponding to said plurality of individual chambers such that said chambers form a honeycomb arrangement of

a plurality of outer and inner chambers wherein said outer and inner chambers upstanding chamber walls, so that said outer chamber walls are taller than said inner chamber walls and said outer chambers are wider than said inner chambers which are narrower than said outer chambers; and

a circuit board in communication with said plurality of light emitting diodes on one side and at least two contacts on the other side to provide a regulated current to said plurality of light emitting diodes wherein said circuit board communicates with said conical member to form a heat retention chamber; and

a plurality of annular heat dissipation vents.

8. A plurality of chambers as in claim 6 wherein the chamber width size is the same width further chosen from either wide or narrow chambers and combinations thereof.

9. A plurality of outer and inner chambers of different widths as in claim 6 wherein said chambers of different widths are set out as a random assortment and conformation.

10. A plurality of chambers as in claim 6 wherein said chambers are parabolic, elliptical and combinations thereof.

11. A plurality of chambers as in claim 6 wherein said chambers are reflective.
