Patent Number: 6969180 
Title: LED Light Method and Apparatus 
Abstract: An LED light apparatus and methodology that can produce a collinear beam of white or colored light. The apparatus has a housing which incorporates three sets of LED light assemblies each set having a plurality of LED lights arranged in an a x a, a x b or other suitable geometric pattern. Each set contains LED lights of the same color, being either red, blue or green. A dichroic bandpass filter and a dichroic notch filter are also incorporated. The apparatus is attached to a power driver which connects to a microcontroller, being a DMX controller, TC/IP controller, or the like. When the apparatus is turned on, red light from the red LED lights passes through the dichroic bandpass filter. The resulting light then combines with the blue light from the blue LED lights and passes through dichroic notch filter. This next light stream then combines with the green light from the green LED lights to form a collinear beam of white or colored light.
