Abstract:
1. A lamp comprising: a means for illumination; a means for converting a waste thermal energy from the means for illumination in thermal communication with the means for illumination, wherein the means for converting the waste thermal energy converts the waste thermal energy into an electrical energy; a means for conducting the electrical energy from the means for converting the waste thermal energy; a means for converting a level of a voltage associated with the electrical energy output from the means for converting the waste thermal energy; a heat sink for transferring a second thermal energy from the means for converting the waste thermal energy; a translucent thermally conductive window; and an optical fluid between the translucent thermally conductive window and the means for illumination, the optical fluid having an angle of diffraction having an intermediate value relative to an angle of diffraction associated with the means for illumination and an angle of diffraction associated with the translucent thermally conductive window, wherein a recovered energy is converted to usable voltage levels and recycled to a power input to the means for illumination and reused in a primary function of the lamp.
