Abstract: A lighting apparatus including a light source having a light emitting surface, and a reflector configured to reflect light from the light source to form a light distribution pattern having a first cutoff line and a second cutoff line such that the first cutoff line and the second cutoff line form an angle with each other. The reflector is configured to form the first cutoff line and the second cutoff line by reflection images of the same edge of the light emitting surface.

Abstract: A backlight module includes a chassis, a printed circuit board, a light source, and a light guide plate. The chassis includes a bottom plate and a sidewall. The sidewall is disposed on at least one side of the bottom plate. The sidewall has a recess therein. At least one part of the printed circuit board is located in the recess. The light source is electrically connected to the printed circuit board. The light incident side of the light guide plate is opposite to the light emitting side of the light source.

Abstract: The invention relates to a light module (1) for a lighting device for a motor vehicle. The lighting module (1) comprises a light source (3) for emission of electromagnetic radiation, preferably in the form of light which is visible for the human eye, and a reflector (2) for focusing the emitted radiation. At its apex, in the area of its optical axis (8), the reflector (2) has an opening (7) for holding a light-emitting part (5) of the light source (3). A reflector neck (9) is formed on the reflector (2), surrounding at least a part of the holding opening (7), to which reflector neck (9) another part (4, 6) of the light source (3) is attached.

Abstract: A luminaire assembly (10) using a double-ended, unshielded high intensity discharge (HID) light source (100). In one aspect, the assembly (10) includes a light source mount (22) adapted to manually, without tools, mount and remove the HID light source (100). The light source mount (22) can optionally include structure (106L and R, 134L and R) to automatically position the light source (100) in a desired orientation. In another aspect, the assembly (10) includes a connection (104L and R, 304L and R, 306L and R) adapted to manually, without tools, connect the light source (100) to electrical power, the connection (104L and R, 304L and R, 306L and R) can be configured to have no electrically conducting surfaces directly exposed or accessible to human fingers and can be configured to be positioned relatively away from the light source (100).

Abstract: A candle lantern equally suitable for indoor and outdoor use, and which further doubles as a decorative candle holder, comprising a body made from a tube of translucent material, for example glass or plastic, and two interchangeable candle-holding cups/heat shields mounted in the upper and lower ends of the tube, respectively, by set screws extending through holes in the tube. A base comprising a set of wire legs is preferably provided at the lower end of the tube, secured to the tube by the lower set of set screws, while a retractable bail handle and optional rain shield are provided in the upper end of the tube and secured to the upper set screw structure. In a preferred form the candle-holding cups include both blind apertures for receiving the set screws against the outer surface of the cup, and a set of holes for allowing the set screws through the cup to engage undersized candles.

Abstract: A lantern includes a base which has a bottom wall with a ventilation hole unit formed therethrough, and a surrounding wall. The bottom wall has a bottom surface in which an accommodating recess and an open-ended holder positioning slot unit are formed. The recess and the positioning slot unit are communicated with each other. A clamp member is fixed on the base and has at least three clamping pieces. A candlestick is clamped among the clamping pieces and is adapted to mount a candle thereon. A vertical tubular transparent shade has two open ends and is disposed on the surrounding wall. A top cover is attached to a top end of the shade and is provided with a hanging unit. The top cover has two opposed horizontal positioning holes formed in an outer surface thereof. An elongated and generally U-shaped holder has a horizontal rod which extends through the positioning slot unit and which is movable vertically.

Abstract: A candle lamp includes a chimney base incorporating a projecting glass cutting wheel against which an operator may press and rotate a glass bottle to score the same for subsequent parting of the bottle into a chimney for the lamp. The base is movable relative to the bottle for vertical and angular adjustment of the wheel; and, the base provides a steadyrest for the bottle as it is rotated. Spring clips project from the top of the base in supporting engagement with the chimney.

Abstract: A sparger for use in microcarrier fermentation systems is provided which includes a narrow, vertically extending outer chamber defined by a solid wall and a wall formed by a screen, wherein air or other gas is forced under pressure through a tube to the bottom of the chamber and from there to a distribution member for the release of the gas upwardly into the chamber. The top of the chamber is provided with exit openings which communicate to a point above the surface of the medium. In an alternate embodiment, gas is released at the bottom of an inner chamber defined by a wall formed with a plurality of screened windows.
