Leading LED light technology provider, Lighting Science® announced today that its founder and Chief Technology Officer, Fred Maxik, has been awarded his 100th patent by the United States Patent & Trademark Office.
Maxik’s 100th patent (U.S. Patent 8608348) illustrates an enclosed method of improved LED thermal management, which guards the life of the device. Traditional cooling systems that have vents and other openings can cause debris to contaminate the inside of the device, leading to early failure or faulty performance. The new invention provides a fluid flow generator cooling system that can operate in a sealed system. It is inexpensive to build and install and is energy efficient.
This milestone is no surprise, given Maxik’s prestigious career of LED innovation. His resume includes patents for the first biologically corrected lighting, which has since become the genesis of the groundbreaking Good Night™ LED lamp and the Awake & Alert™ LED lamp.
Thanks to Mr. Maxik’s guidance, Lighting Science has become one of the world’s leading LED lighting manufacturers. His extensive array of patents includes lamps and luminaires designs, specialized power, optical and thermal management solutions, embedded intelligence including color mixing, wireless networking of luminaires for sensing, automation and communication plus next generation adaptable lighting systems for biological, medical, agricultural and environmental applications.
