METHOD AND DEVICE FOR POTTING AN LED LUMINAIRE POTTED IN A POTTING COMPOUND

摘要

An LED luminaire and potting method having the following steps: introducing a configured luminaire into an at least partly optically transparent potting mold (16), such that the luminaire does not come into contact with the walls of the potting mold; introducing an optically transparent potting compound (18) into the potting mold (16) until at least the luminaire is surrounded; and detecting a quantity of bubbles by an optical sensor or image detector (14), wherein the pressure in the vacuum chamber (11) is controlled in order to influence the bubbles and/or a pivot/inclination device (12) is controlled in order to move the vacuum chamber (11) and/or the potting mold (16) in order to expel detected gas/air bubbles (19) out of the optically transparent potting compound (18).
