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 longitudinal 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 first reflective surface associated with a first LED device of the plurality of LED devices and a second reflective surface associated with a second LED device of the plurality of LED devices.

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.

8. 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 (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A lighting assembly for illuminating items in a display case, the assembly comprising:
-
a reflector having a longitudinal axis and a primary reflective surface angled with respect to the longitudinal axis; a plurality of LEDs disposed along the longitudinal axis in relation to the reflector such that light emitted from the LED devices reflects from the reflector and is directed toward items in the display case; and a plurality of booster optics extending from the primary reflective surface of the reflector, each booster optic including a first reflective surface associated with a respective LED device of the plurality of LED devices, the first reflective surface being configured and positioned with respect to the respective LED device such that light rays emitted from the respective LED device in a direction generally parallel to the longitudinal axis are redirected away from the longitudinal axis of the reflector. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
