Patent Number: 8733982 
Title: Internal Collecting Reflector Optics for LEDs 
Abstract:

An optical system is disclosed that uses an LED light source. The light output is coupled to an optic element formed from a material with a high refractive index. The coupling of the light to the high index material significantly reduces the cone angle of the light. The system is very efficient in that nearly all the light generated by the LED is directed to the intended subject.
