  • Patent number: 8632199
    Abstract: A lamp apparatus include a lamp body, at least an alternating current light-emitting diode and a plug. The alternating current light-emitting diode is disposed on a lamp body. The plug is electrically connected to the alternating current light-emitting diode. In lamp apparatuses utilizing AC LED, heat generated thereby is almost concentrated on chips. Compared with conventional lamp apparatuses utilizing DC LEDs, heat generated thereby is distributed on chips and outer rectifier. In lamp apparatuses utilizing AC LEDs, heat generated thereby is almost concentrated on chips because AC LEDs operate directly with AC electric power, omitting a rectifier and preventing power loss during operation of power rectification. Therefore, the heat accumulated on the chips of the AC LEDs is enough to be used to evaporate essential oil. In another embodiment, the invention utilizes low-resistance pure water surrounding the AC LED to dissipate its heat.

  • Patent number: 8633641
    Abstract: A side illumination lens for a LED is disclosed. One of the embodiments includes a bottom cavity, an incident surface, four total internal reflective surfaces, and a side refractive surface. Light beam emitted by the LED enters the lens through the incident surface. A first portion of the light beam is reflected by the total internal reflection surfaces to the refractive surface and emits out of the lens. The second portion of light beam enters the lens and exits from the refractive surface. A second one of the embodiments is to roughen the side refractive surface for diffusing the exit light beams so that a broader area can be illuminated softly.

  • Patent number: 8591067
    Abstract: A light source device having a good heat dissipation capability is disclosed, in which heat generated by a light emitting device is conducted to a base fabricated by a porous material through a heat conducting mask or a heat conducting pipe. Due to a large area contact between the heat conducting mask or the heat conducting pipe and the base, the heat can be evenly conducted to the base, so that the base can absorb the heat and dissipate the heat to external, so as to improve a heat dissipation efficiency. Moreover, in the light source device of the disclosure, heat exchange of the light emitting device can be directly carried on through air convection, so that the heat generated by the light emitting device can be taken away from the light source device through heat exchange of cool air.
