Abstract

A lighting apparatus with a LED lamp and a power source mounted within an outer housing, a temperature sensing device, and electronics for controlling current delivered to the LED lamp based upon temperature sensed by the temperature sensing device.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A lighting apparatus, comprising:
 a light-emitting diode (LED) lamp mounted within an outer housing;   a power source located within the outer housing;   a temperature sensing device; and   electronics for controlling current delivered to the LED lamp based upon temperature sensed by the temperature sensing device.   
     
     
         2 . The lighting apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the LED lamp and the temperature sensing device are disposed within an LED module. 
     
     
         3 . The lighting apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the temperature sensing device monitors conditions surrounding the LED lamp. 
     
     
         4 . The lighting apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the electronics decrease the current delivered to the LED lamp when an undesirable increase in temperature is sensed. 
     
     
         5 . The lighting apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein the electronics increase the current delivered to the LED lamp when an undesirable decrease in temperature is sensed. 
     
     
         6 . The lighting apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the electronics increase the current delivered to the LED lamp when an undesirable decrease in temperature is sensed. 
     
     
         7 . The lighting apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the electronics comprise a controlled voltage boosting circuit, a thermal sensitive amplifying circuit and a sense resistor. 
     
     
         8 . The lighting apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the controlled voltage boosting circuit is comprised of a switching regulator. 
     
     
         9 . The lighting apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the electronics comprise a controlled voltage bucking circuit. 
     
     
         10 . The lighting apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the electronics comprise a controlled voltage inverting circuit.
