LED replacement lamp and a method of replacing preexisting luminaires with LED lighting assemblies
First Claim
1. A lighting apparatus capable of retrofitting an existing luminaire comprising:
- a plurality of light emitting diodes (LED) arranged and configured in at least one light bar array;
an electronic power module electrically coupled to the at least one light bar array; and
a plate coupled to the at least one light bar array, the plate arranged and configured to couple to the luminairewherein the luminaire has a preexisting opening through which light is provided;
wherein the plate comprises a shaped plate that fits in the preexisting opening of the luminaire, the plate including a recessed cavity to accommodate the at least one light bar array; and
wherein the recessed cavity reduces light pollution from the light emitted by the at least one light bar array.

15. A method of retrofitting an existing luminaire comprising:
-
providing a plurality of light emitting diodes (LED) arranged and configured in at least one light bar array, a heat sink module thermally coupled to the at least one light bar array, an electronic power module electrically coupled to the at least one light bar array, and a plate coupled to the at least one light bar array and the heat sink module, the plate arranged and configured for coupling to the luminaire, the at least one light bar array, heat sink, and plate being combined into an LED assembly configured to be coupled to the luminaire and electrically coupled thereto wherein the luminaire has a preexisting opening through which light is provided and wherein the plate comprises a shaped plate that fits in the preexisting opening of the luminaire, the plate including a recessed cavity to accommodate the at least one light bar array and wherein the recessed cavity reduces light pollution from the light emitted by the plurality of LEDs; removing a preexisting light source from the luminaire including any protective glass coverings and lenses; and coupling the LED assembly to the luminaire without any other modification of the luminaire. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A lighting module capable of retrofitting an existing luminaire comprising:
-
a first plurality of light emitting diodes (LED) arranged into planar array of LEDs; and a plate coupled to the planar array of LEDs, the plate configured to couple to the luminaire, the plate comprising a recessed cavity to accommodate the planar array of LEDs and a bordering peripheral shield comprising an inner perimeter defined by the cavity, wherein the bordering peripheral shield blocks a portion of the light emitted by the first plurality of LEDs to reduce light pollution from the light emitted by the first plurality of LEDs.
