BOOSTER OPTIC
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A lighting assembly for illuminating items in a display case, the assembly comprising:
- a plurality of LED devices;
a reflector having a central axis and disposed in relation to the LED devices such that light emitted from the LED devices reflects from a primary reflective surface of the reflector and is directed toward items in the display case; and
a booster optic extending from the primary reflective surface of the reflector in a direction which is generally the same as a direction that each of the plurality of LED devices extend with respect to the reflective surface, the booster optic including a secondary reflective surface associated with a first LED device of the plurality of LED devices, the secondary reflective surface being configured and positioned with respect to the first LED device such that light emitted from the first LED device towards the secondary reflective surface reflects from the secondary reflective surface and is redirected further away from the central axis of the primary reflective surface.

Abstract
A booster optic is provided in an LED light assembly that includes a primary reflective surface to redirect light towards a desired location to form an illuminance pattern that when combined with a first illuminance pattern, which is formed by only the primary reflector, provides a combined illuminance pattern having a more uniform illuminance characteristic as compared to not having the booster optic.

9. A booster optic for a lighting assembly including a primary reflective surface and at least one light source, the booster optic comprising:
a body comprising means for attaching the body to the primary reflective surface and a first reflective surface, the first reflective surface being configured to redirect light from the light source that does not contact the primary reflective surface toward a desired location. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A light assembly comprising:
-
a first LED device; a primary reflector disposed with respect to the first LED device such that light emanating from the first LED device is redirected from the primary reflector towards a desired location to form a first illuminance pattern; a booster optic disposed with respect to the first LED device and the primary reflector such that light emanating from the first LED device is redirected towards at least one of the desired location and the primary reflector to form a second illuminance pattern that when combined with the first illuminance pattern provides a combined illuminance pattern having a more uniform illuminance characteristic as compared to the first illuminance pattern. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
