Description
LED LIGHTING FIXTURE
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to light fixtures. More particularly, this invention relates to such light fixtures which utilize LEDs as light source.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In recent years, the use of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for various common lighting purposes has increased, and this trend has accelerated as advances have been made in LEDs and in LED-array bearing devices, often referred to as "LED
modules."
Indeed, lighting applications which have been served by fixtures using high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps and other light sources are now increasingly beginning to be served by LEDs modules. Such lighting applications include, among a good many others, roadway lighting, parking lot lighting and many other applications.
Creative work continues in the field of using LEDs for light fixtures in various applications. It is the latter field to which this invention relates.
High-luminance light fixtures using LEDs as light source for outdoor applications present particularly challenging problems. High costs due to high complexity becomes a particularly difficult problem when high luminance, reliability, and durability are essential to product success. Keeping electronic LED
drivers in a water/air-tight location may also be problematic, particularly when the light fixtures are constantly exposed to the elements and many LEDs are used.
Yet another challenge is the problem of achieving a high level of adaptability in order to meet a wide variety of different luminance requirements and satisfy a vide variety of applications. That is, providing a fixture which can be adapted to give significantly greater or lesser amounts of luminance in a desired direction as deemed appropriate for particular applications is a difficult problem. Light-fixture adaptability is an important goal for LED light fixtures.
Dealing with heat dissipation requirements is still another problem area for high-luminance LED light fixtures. Heat dissipation is difficult in part because high-luminance LED light fixtures typically have many LEDs. Complex structures for module mounting and heat dissipation have sometimes been deemed necessary, and all of this adds to complexity and cost.
In short, there is a significant need in the lighting industry for improved light fixtures and the like using LEDs. There is a need for fixtures that are adaptable for a wide variety of lighting situations, and that satisfy the problems associated with heat dissipation and appropriate protection of electronic LED driver components.
Finally, there is a need for an improved LED-module-based light which is simple, and is easy and inexpensive to manufacture.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the invention to provide an improved LED floodlight fixture that overcomes some of the problems and shortcomings of the prior art, including those referred to above.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved LED lighting fixture that is readily adaptable for a variety of mounting positions and situations.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved outdoor LED
lighting fixture with excellent protection of the electronic LED drivers needed for such products.
Still another object of the invention is to provide an improved LED lighting fixture with both good protection of electronic LED drivers and excellent heat dissipation.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide and improved LED lighting fixture providing desirable direction for the illumination.
How these and other objects are accomplished will become apparent from the following descriptions and the drawings.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is an improvement in LED lighting fixture. The inventive LED lighting fixture includes a support structure which has a horizontal cross-dimension, a top structure attached to the support structure and extending outwardly beyond the support structure, the top structure having a bottom surface with

3 PCT/US2009/003199 peripheral portion surrounding a non-peripheral portion, and a plurality of LED
emitters positioned on the peripheral portion for emitting light in downward direction substantially outside of the horizontal cross-dimension of the support structure.
The LED emitters are preferably arranged in an annular configuration. In such embodiments, top structure is preferably circular. It is preferred that the top structure is concentric with the support structure.
In some preferred embodiments, the top structure has an outer perimeter which defines a greatest top-structure horizontal dimension. It is preferred that the greatest dimension between the bottom surface and an opposite surface is at least 50%
smaller than the greatest top-structure horizontal dimension.
In most highly preferred embodiments of this invention, at least a subset of the emitters each have associated LED lensing configured for distributing light toward a preferential side off-axially with respect to each emitter axis.
In some of such most highly preferred embodiments, LED lensing on each of the emitters of the subset is configured for off-axial light distribution toward a corresponding preferential side radially away from the horizontal cross-dimension of the support structure, thereby to widen an outward and downward illumination angle.
In such embodiments, the LED lensing is configured to enlarge an area of illumination while having no more than minimal light directed onto the support structure.
In some other of such most highly preferred embodiments, the support structure has an upright lower portion of no more than the first horizontal cross-dimension and an upwardly/outwardly-extending upper portion. The top structure is attached to the upper portion. It is preferred that LED lensing on all of the emitters of the subset be configured for off-axial light distribution toward a common preferential side, thereby to facilitate illumination in a common downward lateral direction. LED
lensing preferably includes at least one shield member positioned to intercept LED
light emitted toward a non-preferential side.
In some preferred embodiments, the top structure includes a single-piece bottom member which defines the bottom surface and has a plurality of openings each aligned with its corresponding LED emitter, and a single-piece top member which has an inner portion including a heat-sink arrangement aligned with the peripheral portion for transferring heat from the LED emitters outside the top member.
In some highly preferred embodiments, the top structure forms a substantially water/air-tight chamber. It is highly preferred that the fixture further include LED-supporting electronic device(s) enclosed within the chamber. The inner portion of the top member preferably includes a cavity surrounded by the heat-sink arrangement.
The LED-supporting electronic device(s) is/are preferably positioned within the cavity.
In some of such highly preferred embodiments, the top structure includes a sensor device secured with respect to the non-peripheral portion of the bottom surface.
The sensor devise may be a motion sensor or any other type of sensors which might be useful for the inventive lighting fixture in a desired application. It is most highly preferred that the sensor device is concentric with the top structure.
In certain preferred versions of the inventive LED lighting fixture, the support structure has an upright lower portion of no more than the first horizontal cross-dimension and an upwardly/outwardly-extending upper portion. The top structure is attached to the upper portion. It is highly preferred that the upwardly/outwardly-extending upper portion of the support structure is a single-piece member.
In such versions of the LED lighting fixture, the support structure is preferably mounted to a mounting surface. It is preferred that the lower end of the upwardly/outwardly-extending upper portion is adjacent to the mounting surface.
These versions of the inventive lighting fixture are especially have a great flexibly for mounting locations. For example, such fixtures may be used as landscape light mounted at the ground level along a pathway, in the middle of a flowerbed, or any other desirable location.
The off-axial illumination of such fixture allows direction LED light toward one preferential side such as toward a walking path, a pond or an object at the ground.
In such versions, the LED lensing may provide such light-distribution angle which directs light emitted from LEDs, which are at a position farthest from the preferential side, across the greatest top-structure horizontal dimension toward the preferential side through the upwardly/outwardly-extending upper portion with no more than minimal light directed onto the support structure lower portion or the ground

Alternatively, if illumination of a wide landscape area is desired, the off-axial illumination would allow direction of LED light laterally and radially away from the support structure.
It should be noted that such versions of the LED lighting fixture are not limited to ground mounting. These version of the inventive lighting fixture may be mounted to a wall of a building to illuminate the wall surface. Such wall-mounting allows for both illumination of building exteriors and interiors to create desirable light pattern. It should be understood that positioning and orientation of the inventive LED
lighting fixture is in no way limited to the shown embodiments and discussed examples.

These terms simply indicate that the LEDs are positioned to emit light directly away from their mounting surface toward illumination area; and that such LED-mounting surface, i.e., the bottom surface of the top structure, is substantially facing the illumination area.
Likewise, terms "top," "bottom," "lower," upper" and the like, which refer to elements of the inventive LED lighting fixture, are used to simplify naming of such elements and to indicate their positions with respect to each other, thus should not be limited to the direction of gravity.
In certain embodiments, LED-supporting electronic device(s) is/are enclosed within an interior of the support-structure.
In some embodiments of the certain preferred versions of the inventive LED
lighting fixture, the upright lower portion of the support structure is a post, and the upwardly/outwardly-extending upper portion is secured on top of the post.
In such embodiments, the post may have a height from few inches to several feet. For example, the few-inch post allows mounting of the fixture with the upright lower portion adjacent to the mounting surface. In another example, the post may be

-5-about two and a half feet such that the inventive fixture is at a level of a typical bollard light. The positioning of LEDs for emitting light downwardly coupled with the LED lensing with off-axial light distribution provides a greater amount of luminance in a desired direction. Such greater luminance is achieved by avoiding loss of light that occurs in typical bollards which use reflectors for redirecting light from the inside of a cylindrical bollard housing. Yet in another example of a post-top lighting fixture in accordance with the present invention the post may be about eight-feet high. Such post-top fixtures may be positioned to illuminate walking paths, sidewalks or the like.
In some of such post-top embodiments, the LED-supporting electronic device(s) may be enclosed within the post interior. The upwardly/outwardly-extending upper portion preferably forms an enclosed wire-channel for wires extending from the top structure to the post interior.
