LED lighting system and device
摘要
說明書
In embodiments of the present invention, a driver (DRV) can be an inverter. A driver can also be another type of electrical component(s) that satisfy the input/output requirements of that component.
In situations where longevity of 20 years is desired, the LED lighting system would be equipped with two LED lighting source and four drivers. Only one LED lighting source and one driver are functional at one time within the scope of the electric circuit of a functional LED lighting system. The said device establishes an initial electric circuit by selecting an initial LED lighting source, out of the two available LED lighting sources, and an initial driver, out of the four available drivers. The LED lighting source not selected becomes a spare LED lighting source, while the remainder three drivers, after the selection of the initial driver, become spare driver. The spare LED lighting source and spare driver are not utilized while the initial counterparts are in use. Under this scenario, two driver will be used during the lifespan of one LED lighting source. A such, during the approximate time frame of five years, the device will self-repair to replace the driver with one of the spare driver, while during the approximate life span of ten years, the said device will self-repair to replace the initial LED lighting source with the spare LED lighting source(s), and it will replace one by one the remainder of the spare driver, approximately every five years.
By analogy, the longevity of the LED lighting system, which is the subject of the instant invention, can be enhanced to produce a source of illumination that does not require the manual change of a light bulb for 30 years, 40 years, 50 years, and even more, depending on necessity for the respective longevity.
