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 form a predetermined illuminated area at a selected distance, 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 rim defining a housing aperture aligned with a 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 for theatrical and architectural lighting has a number of separate, flat, rigid panels for mounting light-emitting diodes. These emit diode light beams to a common focal area. A group of the diodes is mounted on each panel, and each panel has an inner and outer panel. A screw arrangement selectively positions the panels, with each oriented at a selected angle relative to an axis, and with each diodes group emitting diode light beams transverse to each separate panel. Each inner panel is flexibly secured to the screw arrangement. The panels hold the diodes and act as electrical circuit boards for transmitting direct electrical current to the diodes on the panels. The screw includes an elongated, externally threaded cylinder with opposed inner and outer ends that is rotatably aligned with the axis and mounted on a corresponding internally cylindrical threaded nut.
