Patent Number: 9512978 
Title: Vortex Light Projection System, LED Lensless Primary Optics System, and Perfectly Random LED Color Mixing System 
Abstract:

An improved primary optics light projection system comprising a cone shaped reflector designed within specified mathematical parameters and a light source placed near the apex focal point cross sectional area of said reflector is disclosed for projecting a vortex of light rays with a precise shape and an even beam field containing a maximum number of light rays produced by a light source having a small or large diameter or cross section. A reflector near the base of the light source and perpendicular to the cone shaped reflector and one or more lens may be included to increase efficiency. The cone shaped reflector may be made in various cross sectional shapes providing means for using light sources with a square, rectangular, round, oval, or unconventional shape allowing the use of high efficiency light sources such as, but not limited to, light emitting diodes, often used in clusters of multiple LEDs.
