Abstract
The present invention describes light fixtures comprising an array of self-contained LED tiles for illuminating light from a surface area of a respective light fixture. Each of the array of LED tiles is a self-contained lamp that contains its respective own AC or DC input power supply and LED driver, its respective heat dissipation element, and its respective light collation element. The array of tiles makes the total illumination from the array to be sufficiently bright, even though any given LED tile might only have a modest amount of light output. Embodiments of the LED tiles for use with various lamp fixtures include, but not limited to, a hexagon-shaped LED tile, a square-shaped LED tile, an equilateral triangle-shaped LED tile, and a rectangle-shaped LED tile with an aspect ratio, for example, of 3:1. The different types of LED tiles are suitable for use to cover various types of surfaces of lamp fixtures.
