摘要：
A beacon light and lens system includes a base, a light emitting diode assembly having at least one light emitting diode secured to the base, a lens including optics configured to capture and direct light from the at least one light emitting diode, a driver board configured to power the at least one light emitting diode, a power source connected to the driver board wherein the lens is mounted on the base. The system generates a 360° horizontal beam pattern and a predetermined vertical beam pattern.
技术问题语段：
The technical problem addressed by this patent is the need for a beacon light that combines the benefits of light emitting diodes (LEDs) with an even distribution of light in a cost-effective manner. Previous beacon lights have used incandescent bulbs which have a shorter lifespan or have used complex and expensive distribution approaches to achieve an even distribution of light. The invention aims to provide a solution to this problem.
技术功效语段：
The invention is a beacon light and lens system, which includes a base, a light emitting diode assembly, and a lens. The lens has optics to capture and direct light from the diode. The system is designed to attach the light to a structure and has a simple mechanism to fasten the lens to the base. The technical effect is an efficient and easy-to-use beacon light system for directing light in a controlled and organized manner.
权利要求：
1. A beacon light and lens system (100) comprising: a base (120) configured to attach the beacon light to a structure (802); a light emitting diode assembly (130) comprising at least one light emitting diode (132) secured to the base; a lens (110) comprising optics configured to capture and direct light horizontally from the at least one light emitting diode (132); a driver board (142) configured to power the at least one light emitting diode (132), wherein the lens is mounted on the base (120) and comprises at least one mounting tab (116) configured to mechanically fasten the lens (110) to the base (120) by cooperating with a slot arranged in the base (120), and wherein the base (120) comprises a curved mounting surface (152) external to the base (120), wherein the system further comprises a bracket (800) connected to the curved mounting surface (152) and used to arrange the beacon light (100) vertically when the structure (802) has an inclined surface.
2. The beacon light and lens system of claim 1, wherein the lens comprises a Fresnel lens configuration.
3. The beacon light and lens system of claim 2, wherein the Fresnel lens configuration has a convex shaped outer surface.
4. The beacon light and lens system of one of claims 1 to 3, further comprising at least one gasket (118) arranged between the lens and the base.
5. The beacon light and lens system of one of claims 1 to 4, wherein the light emitting diode assembly comprises a motherboard (138) and at least one light emitting diode PCB connected to the motherboard.
6. The beacon light and lens system of one of claims 1 to 5, wherein the system generates a 360° horizontal beam pattern and vertical beam pattern with a minimum of 10°.
7. The beacon light and lens system of one of claims 1 to 6, wherein the base comprises an attachment structure comprising at least one slot (128) configured to receive a fastener to fasten the base to the structure (802) through the bracket (800).
8. The beacon light and lens system of one of claims 1 to 7, further comprising at least one O-ring arranged between the lens and the base.
9. The beacon light and lens system of one of claims 1 to 8, wherein the at least one light emitting diode comprises at least one infrared light emitting diode, a white light emitting diode, and a red light emitting diode.
10. The beacon light and lens system of one of claims 1 to 9, wherein the base comprises an attachment structure comprising at least one threaded hole (126) configured to receive a fastener to fasten the base to the structure (802) through the bracket (800).
