Abstract: An LED based module designed to be easily retrofitted into existing incandescent based light fixtures with minimum or no modification is provided. The LED module of the present disclosure includes a generally cylindrical threaded adapter module including a flat top surface and a conical bottom portion. The bottom portion includes a threaded cavity for receiving a conventional threaded rod of a light fixture which then couples the LED module to the light fixture. The top surface of the LED module is configured to mount a metal core printed circuit board including at least one LED (light emitting diode). Furthermore, the LED module includes at least two channels running therethrough to accommodate wires or conductors from the light fixture to the metal core printed circuit board. The threaded surface of the LED module is configured to accept a conventional shade retainer ring or nut.

Abstract: A device for enhancing the appearance of a compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) and changing the optical properties of light emitted by the CFL is provided. The device for a compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) includes a cover configured for obscuring the compact fluorescent lamp; and an attachment mechanism configured for coupling the cover to the compact fluorescent lamp by engaging an inner surface of the compact fluorescent lamp. The attachment mechanism includes at least two resilient fingers for engaging at least two spaced apart inner surfaces of the compact fluorescent lamp.

Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) based light engine that can replace a conventional PAR type bulb with no modifications to a host lighting fixture is provided. The light engine includes a thermally conductive housing including a generally cylindrical wall defining a cavity, an outer surface of the wall includes a plurality of axially radiating fins and disposed on an inner surface of the wall is an annular center wall dividing the cavity into a first, upper cavity and a second, lower cavity; a light module including at least one LED is disposed in the first, upper cavity and configured to contact the annular center wall, wherein heat generated by the at least one LED is disposed in the second, lower cavity and electrically coupled to the light module.
