Led lighting fixture

Abstract

A light emitting diode (LED) populated circuit board is defined by a regular polygonal shaped circuit board. A channel is provided through the circuit board to form a first side diametrically opposed to a second side with a plurality of first and second legs extending from one side towards the other. A plurality of bridges are positioned along the channel to physically connect two portions of the circuit board together. LEDs are then electrically populated along the first side and first legs and along the second side and second legs. When the bridges are broken the two portions can be separated and then re-aligned along the ends of the legs to form a larger circuit board.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A light emitting diode (LED) populated circuit board, comprising:
 a printed circuit board having a regular polygonal shape;   a channel through the printed circuit board such that the printed circuit board is further defined by:
 a first side and a second side diametrically opposed from each other; 
 a plurality of first legs extending from the first side towards the second side; 
 a plurality of second legs extending from the second side towards the first side; 
 wherein the plurality of first legs and the plurality of second legs alternate across the circuit board from the diametrically opposed sides, and wherein the channel runs along top and bottom edges defined between a pair of adjacent first and second legs, defined from the alternating of the first and second legs; 
   a plurality of bridges positioned along the channel to physically connect the first side to the plurality of the second legs, and/or connect the second side to the plurality of first legs, and/or connect between the pairs of first and second legs; and   LEDs electrically populated along the first side and first legs and along the second side and second legs.   
     
     
         2 . The LED populated circuit board of  claim 1 , wherein the electrically populated LEDs are electrically connected such that the LEDs along the first side and the first legs are not electrically connected to the LEDs along the second side and the second legs. 
     
     
         3 . The LED populated circuit board of  claim 1  further comprising electrical connectors along one or more corners defined by the regular polygonal shape printed circuit board. 
     
     
         4 . A light emitting diode (LED) populated circuit board, comprising:
 a printed circuit board having a regular polygonal shape;   a channel through the printed circuit board such that the printed circuit board is further defined by:
 a first side and a second side diametrically opposed from each other; 
 a plurality of first legs extending from the first side towards the second side; 
 a plurality of second legs extending from the second side towards the first side; 
 wherein the plurality of first legs and the plurality of second legs alternate across the circuit board from the diametrically opposed sides, and wherein the channel runs along top and bottom edges defined between a pair of adjacent first and second legs, defined from the alternating of the first and second legs; and 
   LEDs electrically populated along the first side and first legs and along the second side and second legs.   
     
     
         5 . The light emitting diode (LED) populated circuit board of  claim 4  further comprising:
 a plurality of bridges positioned along the channel to physically connect the first side to the plurality of the second legs, and/or connect the second side to the plurality of first legs, and/or connect between the pairs of first and second legs.
