  • Publication number: 20150092410
    Abstract: A luminaire is disclosed having a lighting element mount which can have a base and one or more wings acting has heat dissipation fins. A lighting element (e.g. a PCB populated with LEDs) can be mounted (e.g. directly) to the base of the lighting element mount to conduct heat away from the lighting element. The lighting element mount can be incorporated into the luminaire so as to associate the lighting elements with apertures in the luminaire, thus allowing the lighting elements to be protrude to the bottom of the luminaire while the wings extend rearward of the luminaire and both the base and the wings of the lighting element mount are exposed to ambient air.

  • Patent number: 8870406
    Abstract: A cover for a compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulb is provided. The cover includes a housing formed of clamshell sections that are mutually engageable about the CFL bulb and, when engaged, define an upper body portion having an interior for receiving the CFL bulb and a cylindrically-shaped neck extending downwardly from the upper body portion for encircling a base of the CFL bulb. A resilient member extends inwardly from opposite sides of the cylindrically-shaped neck and is biasable against the base of the CFL bulb to grip and retain the base when the clamshell sections are mutually engaged to secure the cover to the CFL. The cover may also include a flange defining a rectangular slot through which the CFL bulb is extendable to facilitate securing the bulb to a light socket.

  • Patent number: 8864348
    Abstract: An LED bulb comprises a lamp cup, a substrate, a power connecting part, and a cover plate. The lamp cup is a two-piece structure; a power driver is further disposed in the power connecting part. The substrate is disposed in the lamp cup, while the power connecting part connects with the lamp cup. When the light sources and the power structure generate heat, the generated heat can be transferred outwards and dissipated through the lamp cup or the power connecting part. Because the heat generated by both of the heat sources in the lamp cup, respectively, the co-heating effect induced by the light sources and the power driver can be avoided. The overall structure is manufactured by materials having superior thermal conductivity. Thereby, with the structure, heat dissipating process can be accelerated. The lifetime of the light sources can be improved substantially.

  • Patent number: 8860581
    Abstract: An interactive electronic device shell and light source may enable personalization and increased functionality of an electronic device. The shell may at least partially cover a light source and attach to an electronic device. The shell includes at least some transparent or translucent portions (e.g., light stencils) that enable light from a matrix of the light source to emit through the shell, thus causing a display of light from the shell. In some aspects, the electronic device may be linked with the shell and/or the light source to control light emission through the shell. In various aspects, an illumined portion of the shell may have significance, such as revealing an artistic design or indicating a message based on activity of the electronic device.

  • Patent number: 8851437
    Abstract: An adaptor band is flexible, C-shaped, and includes a torsion spring receiver. Additionally, the adaptor band includes one or more slots for receiving a screw to fasten the adaptor band to an internal surface of a pre-existing light housing. The adaptor band is compressed and inserted within the pre-existing housing that does not have torsion spring receivers already therein. Once inserted, the adaptor band is released, thereby expanding and pushing against the internal surface of the housing. The adaptor band is fastened to the internal surface of the housing without having to hold the adaptor band in a fixed position. The torsion spring receivers receive torsion springs coupled to other lighting components, including light modules and trim modules.
