Abstract

A Light-Emitting Diode (“LED”) light including a housing with two ends, a base coupled to the housing at one of the two ends for connecting to an electrical fixture, the housing including vertical plates with a majority of higher-power LEDs mounted on the vertical plates at an angle of less than 75 degrees relative to the vertical plates. In one aspect, the LEDs are mounted in a column and row grid pattern. In one aspect, the housing includes a horizontal plate with lower-power LEDs mounted thereon. In one aspect, the LED light includes a temperature regulation device housed with in its housing for heat dissipation.

Claims

1. A Light-Emitting Diode (“

LED”

) light comprising;

a housing with a first end and a second end;

a base coupled to the housing at the second end, wherein the base comprises one of a mogul base, an Edison socket base, a bayonet base, a wedge base, a Candelabra base, a recessed single contact base, a single-pin base, a two-pin base, a three-pin base or a four-pin base; and

the housing comprising at least six vertical plates having higher-power LEDs mounted thereon in a column and row grid pattern;

wherein at least a majority of the higher-power LEDs form an angle of no greater than about seventy degrees relative to each of the at least six vertical plates on which the higher-power LEDs are mounted;

wherein the housing further comprises a first horizontal plate at the first end of the housing having a first plurality of lower-power LEDs mounted thereon and a second horizontal plate at the second end of the housing having a second plurality of lower-power LEDs mounted thereon and the second horizontal plate includes a cutout for the base; and

wherein the higher-power LEDs comprise at least one LED with narrow beam angle and at least one LED with wide-beam angle, and the higher-power LEDs mounted on the vertical plates are directional LEDs.

2. The LED light of claim 1 further comprising a first printed circuit board coupled to the higher-power LEDs and a second printed circuit board coupled to the first and second pluralities of lower-power LEDs.

3. The LED light of claim 2 wherein the angle is about forty-five degrees.
