Abstract

A light emitting diode (LED) lamp designed to replace or retrofit a 2D fluorescent tube lamp is formed from four printed circuit boards 1 backed by heat sinks 2 and contained in tubes 3. The tubes 3 are connected to a middle base 7,8,9 which has an electrical connection for connecting to a lamp fitting.

Description

2D Light Emitting Diode (LED) Lamp This invention relates to a an LED lamp to directly replace a 2D fluorescent tube lamp.
A 2D fluorescent lamp is typically used in lighting public areas that require continuous or near continuous lighting. Typically, 2D fluorescent lamps are rated at 16W or 28W and have a typical lifespan in the region of 8000 hrs continuous usage giving a demand of 1 28kWh and 224 kWh respectively, with an associated carbon footprint of 55kg and 96kg respectively. 2D fluorescent lamps are constructed from glass tubing and a plastic moulding and are not robust and easily damaged rendering them unusable. With a nominal lifespan of 8000 hrs traditional 2 D fluorescent lamps require replacement at least once a year.
This invention provides a LED lamp to directly replace the 2 D fluorescent lamp without any requirement to alter the existing fitting or electrical wiring while providing an equivalent or better level of lighting. Equivalent LED lamps are rated at SW or 12W and a typical lifespan of 50,000 hrs, thus their demand is nominally 50% and 57% less than the 2D fluorescent lamp equivalent with the associated running cost and carbon footprint reduction. The 2D LED lamp is robust in construction and will easily withstand shock impact such as being dropped. With a nominal lifespan of 50,000 hrs the 2D LED lamp lasts over 5 times longer.
Examples of the invention will now be described by referring to the accompanying drawing Figure 1 shows the assembly and component parts of the 2D LED lamp In Figure 1 the illumination is provided by four printed circuit boards (ROB) (1) each mounting multiple LEDs and backed by an aluminum heat-sink (2). Each PCB assembly is housed in a high borosilicate glass tube cover (3), two of which are secured to either side of a plastic middle base assembly comprising an upper (7) and lower cover (6) housing the power unit (8) for each ROB. The upper and lower elements of the middle base assembly are screwed together by two screws (5). Each of the twin borosilicate glass tubes are sealed at the distal end with a plastic end cap (4). The lower cover provides the mechanism for attachment and electrical connection between the lamp and the fitting.
