Staggered LED based high-intensity light
First Claim
1. A lighting array for a high intensity light comprising:
- a first ring having a first plurality of reflectors having a reflective surface and light emitting diodes disposed on the circumference of the first ring, the ring having a planar surface mounting each of the plurality of reflectors such that the reflective surface is in substantially perpendicular relation to a respective one of the plurality of light emitting diodes; and
a second ring mounted on the first ring, the second ring having a second plurality of reflectors and light emitting diodes disposed on the circumference of the second ring, the second ring having a planar surface mounting each of the plurality of reflectors in perpendicular relation to a respective one of the plurality of light emitting diodes, wherein the number of light emitting diodes in the first ring is the same as the number of light emitting diodes in the second ring and each of the second plurality of reflectors and the first and second rings are rotationally offset such that the light emitting diodes and respective reflectors of the second ring are staggered by a radial angle from the respective reflectors and light emitting diodes of the first ring.

Abstract
A high intensity LED based lighting array for use in an obstruction light with efficient uniform light output is disclosed. The high intensity LED based lighting array has a first concentric ring having a plurality of reflectors and light emitting diodes. The concentric ring has a planar surface mounting each of the plurality of reflectors in perpendicular relation to a respective one of the plurality of light emitting diodes. A second concentric ring is mounted on the first concentric ring. The second concentric ring has a second plurality of reflectors and light emitting diodes. The second concentric ring has a planar surface mounting each of the plurality of reflectors in perpendicular relation to a respective one of the plurality of light emitting diodes. The second plurality of reflectors and light emitting diodes are offset from the reflectors and light emitting diodes of the first concentric ring.
