First Claim
Patent Images
1. A luminaire comprising:
- a head;
a positioning mechanism, coupled to the head and configured to rotate the head in at least one axis; and
a light source, coupled to the head and configured to emit a beam of light,wherein the light source comprises;
a first array of light emitting diodes (LEDs), the first array comprising a first plurality of sets of LEDs, each set of the first plurality of sets of LEDs having a different associated peak wavelength;
a second array of LEDs, the second array comprising a second plurality of sets of LEDs, each set of the second plurality of sets of LEDs having a different associated peak wavelength; and
a dichroic filter configured to combine light from the first array of LEDs with light from the second array of LEDs to produce the emitted beam of light, wherein filter characteristics of the dichroic filter are selected to maximize transmission of the light from the first plurality of sets of LEDs and to maximize reflection of the light from the second plurality of sets of LEDs.

Abstract
A remotely directable luminaire with an improved color LED homogenization system for LED luminaires employing a plurality of LED arrays where an array employs a plurality of discrete peak LED groups and dichroic mirrors maximized for transmission/reflection of around the groups of LED'"'"'s discrete peaks to generate a directional homogenized color light beam with additive color mixing.

11. A luminaire comprising:
-
a head; a positioning mechanism, coupled to the head and configured to rotate the head in at least one axis; and a light source, coupled to the head and configured to emit a beam of light, wherein the light source comprises; a first array of light emitting diodes (LEDs), the first array comprising a first plurality of sets of LEDs, each set of the first plurality of sets of LEDs producing light of a differing color; a second array of LEDs, the second array comprising a second plurality of sets of LEDs, each set of the second plurality of sets of LEDs producing light of a differing color; a third array of light emitting diodes (LEDs), the third array comprising a third plurality of sets of LEDs, each set of the third plurality of sets of LEDs producing light of a differing color; a first dichroic filter, configured to combine light from the first array of LEDs with light from the second array of LEDs, wherein filter characteristics of the dichroic filter are selected to maximize transmission of the light from the first and third pluralities of sets of LEDs and to maximize reflection of the light from the second plurality of sets of LEDs; and a second dichroic filter, configured to combine light from the first array of LEDs with light from the third array of LEDs, wherein filter characteristics of the second dichroic filter are selected to maximize transmission of the light from the first and second pluralities of sets of LEDs and to maximize reflection of the light from the third plurality of sets of LEDs, wherein the light beam emitted by the light source comprises the light combined by the first dichroic filter and the light combined by the second dichroic filter. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
