Abstract: A picture illuminating device for mounting on the wall above the picture, or on the back of the picture frame. The device utilizes a light emitting diode (LED) or array of LEDs or light tube with LEDs to produce uniform lighting and is powered by conventional or rechargeable batteries which eliminates the requirement of electrical outlets and the spectacle of exposed electrical cords extending down the wall. The device is composed of a stem and a shade. The shade houses the LED or array of LEDs or light tube with LEDs, batteries and the electronic circuit that converts the direct current from the batteries to the current required to power the LED or array of LEDs or light tube with LEDs. The shade may or may not include a reflector which is configured to mount the LED or array of LEDs or light tube with LEDs and batteries so that the shade covers the LED or array of LEDs or light tube with LEDs adequately to prevent any glare from the front while presenting the look of a conventional, corded picture lamp.

Abstract: An illumination device that can mount to a surface that includes a track for movement in one plane, and is powered by conventional or rechargeable batteries, that can be mounted to a surface such as a wall, headboard or ceiling. The features of the device allow for the elimination of electrical outlets and the spectacle of exposed electrical cords extending down the wall and also allow in the case of use as a reading light mounted behind the bed, a light source that can be adjusted horizontally so as to enable users to position it optimally for reading, without a person's head or other object to be in the way. The device can also feature swivel points to ensure the light is directed towards the reading material.

Abstract: A picture illuminating device for mounting on the wall above the picture, or on the back of the picture frame. The device utilizes a fluorescent light tube to produce uniform lighting and is powered by conventional or rechargeable batteries which eliminates the requirement of electrical outlets and the spectacle of exposed electrical cords extending down the wall. The device is composed of a stem and a shade. The shade houses the fluorescent light tube, batteries and the electronic circuit that converts the direct current from the batteries to the alternating current required to power the fluorescent light tube. The shade includes a reflector which is configured to mount the fluorescent light tube and batteries so that the shade covers the fluorescent light tube adequately to prevent any glare from the front while presenting the look of a conventional, corded picture lamp.

Abstract: A framed picture illuminating device for mounting on the wall above the picture. The device utilizes a fluorescent light tube to produce uniform lighting and is powered by batteries which eliminates the requirement of electrical outlets and the spectacle of exposed electrical cords extending down the wall. The device is composed of a base, a stem and a reflector. The base houses the batteries and the electronic circuit that converts the direct current from the batteries to the alternating current required to power the fluorescent light tube. The base is configured to be mounted on a wall above a framed picture and present smooth, clean lines resulting in an appealing look.
