Abstract:
The present invention provides a diffuser light blocking device comprising an end cap member ( 820 ) having a pocketing feature ( 821 ) that has a side wall ( 822 ) and an end reflective surface ( 810 ); the pocketing feature's shape corresponds to exterior shape of distal portion ( 830 ) of a diffuser ( 800 ) having a distal end surface ( 801 ); the pocketing feature engages the distal portion; an overlapping section ( 815 ) of the pocketing feature's side wall surrounds the distal portion's side wall ( 802 ) and prevents at least 95% of the light output from the distal portion from escaping out of the to distal portion's side wall; the end reflective surface blocks any forward propagating light output from the distal end surface and returns at least 80% of light coming out of the distal end surface back towards the diffuser; the end cap member is thermally conductive; the end cap member's length ( 831 ) and diameter ( 832 ) provide an exterior surface area that is at least 1,000% of the surface area of the distal end surface; and the device reduces generation of diffuser irradiance hot spots.

Claim (Index 6):
The device of  claim 1  wherein the overlapping section of the side wall of the pocketing feature prevents at least 98% of the light output from the distal portion from escaping out of the side wall of the distal portion.
