Integrated lamp with feedback and wireless control
First Claim
1. A lamp assembly (50), comprising:
- a reflector (52) defining a light reflecting area (53);
a heat sink (54) defining a circuit housing area (55);
a LED assembly (20) disposed within said light reflecting area (53) and in thermal communication with said heat sink (54) to dissipate heat away from said LED assembly (20), said LED assembly (20) including at least one LED (21) operable to emit a light in response to a flow of a LED current (ILED) through said at least one LED (21), and at least one optical power sensor (22) operable to sense an emission of the light by said at least one LED (21); and
a LED driver circuit (30) disposed within said circuit housing area (55), said LED driver circuit in electrical communication with said LED assembly (20) to control the flow of the LED current (ILED) through said at least one LED (21) as a function of a sensing of the emission of the light by said at least one optical power sensor (22).

Abstract
A lamp assembly (50) employs a reflector (52) defining a light reflecting area (53), and a heat sink (54) defining a circuit housing area (55). A LED assembly (51) is disposed within the light reflecting area (53) and heat sink (54) dissipates heat away from LED assembly (51). One or more LEDs of LED assembly (51) emit a light in response to a flow of a LED current through the LEDs. One or more optical power sensors of LED assembly (51) sense an emission of the light by LED(s). A LED driver circuit (30) is disposed within the circuit housing area (55) to control the flow of the LED current through the LED(s) as a function of a sensing of the emission of the light by the optical power sensor(s) and a desired level of one or more lighting variables associated with the LED(s).
