| 20160161062 | LED BASED CANDELABRA LAMP - A LED lamp has a non-optically transmissive base connected to an optically transmissive enclosure. A LED assembly emits light when energized through an electrical path from the base. A portion of the heat sink and lamp electronics extend from the base and into the enclosure such that at least an upper portion of the heat sink extends into the interior volume defined by the enclosure. The LED assembly is supported on top of the heat sink such that the LEDs are disposed in the volume of the enclosure. An optic element extends over the LEDs and at least the portion of the heat sink. The size of the non-optically transmissive base of the lamp is reduced relative to the optically transmissive enclosure such that a greater ratio of optically transmissive view space to non-optically transmissive base is provided. | 06-09-2016 |

| 20160377260 | FLAT LAMP STRUCTURE - A flat lamp structure may include a housing; a module in which at least one LED is disposed on a substrate; a reflector which reflects light emitted from the LED to the outside thereof; an inner lens which is disposed in front of the reflector with a predetermined interval to diffuse light emitted from the LED; and an outer lens which is disposed outside the inner lens and coupled to the housing, wherein the reflector has a first reflector part, a second reflector part, and a third reflector part having different optical properties and the first and second reflector parts have a specular reflection characteristic and the third reflector part has a Lambertian reflection characteristic, and reflects the light in all directions with the uniform brightness regardless of a direction to a diffuser surface to form a light emission surface. | 12-29-2016 |
