Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A luminaire comprising a first and second terminal connected to an alternating current power source having a period, a first LED light source electrically coupled to each of the first and second terminals, and a second LED light source electrically coupled to each of the first and second terminals. The first LED light source comprises a first color conversion layer having a first emission latency.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A luminaire comprising: a first and second terminal connected to an alternating current power source having a period; a first LED light source electrically coupled to each of the first and second terminals; and a second LED light source electrically coupled to each of the first and second terminals; wherein the first LED light source comprises a first color conversion layer having a first emission latency; wherein the second LED light source comprises a second color conversion layer having a second emission latency; and wherein the first emission latency and the second emission latency are non-equivalent latencies produced by the alternating current provided to the first LED light source and the second LED light source; wherein the first emission latency and the second emission latency are asynchronous with a polyphase frequency; and wherein the first emission latency is asynchronous with at least one frequency within a range from 25 Hz to 133 Hz. 2. The luminaire according to claim 1 wherein the first LED light source and the second LED light source include a lighting die comprising multiple semiconductor layers, a conductive material layer, and an active region. 3. The luminaire according to claim 1 wherein the first LED light source is configured to emit light within a first wavelength range corresponding to a first color and the second LED light source is configured to emit light within a second wavelength range corresponding to a second color that is different than the first color. 4. A luminaire comprising: a first and second terminal connected to an alternating current power source having a period; a single lighting die comprising: a first LED light source electrically coupled to each of the first and second terminals; and a second LED light source electrically coupled to each of the first and second terminals; a plurality of trenches; and a substrate; wherein the first LED light source comprises a first color conversion layer having a first emission latency; wherein the second LED light source comprises a second color conversion layer having a second emission latency; and wherein the first emission latency and the second emission latency are non-equivalent latencies produced by the alternating current provided to the first LED light source and the second LED light source; wherein the plurality of trenches are configured to penetrate through the first LED light source, the second LED light source, and the substrate; wherein the first emission latency and the second emission latency are asynchronous with a polyphase frequency.
