The light module includes one or more rotatable prongs for allowing the light module to pivot while the driver and chassis remain static. By being mechanically separate, the driver does not interfere with the movement of the light module. In particular, since the light module is not directly coupled to and is mechanically separate from the driver, pivoting the light module does not require space in a cavity of an associated housing to accommodate the rotation of the driver. This independent freedom of movement allows the light module to achieve a greater degree of rotation in comparison to light modules that are mechanically dependent on drivers.

  • Patent number: 8622576
    Abstract: A string light has multiple icicle-shaped bulbs, a controller and a connector assembly. The icicle-shaped bulbs are serially connected by a set of wires. Each icicle-shaped bulb has an icicle-shaped lamp holder shell, an elongated lamp strip and a cap assembly. The lamp holder shell has an irregular and rough surface and an opening. The lamp strip is mounted inside the lamp holder shell. The cap assembly is mounted on the opening of the lamp holder shell and has a set of through holes for the set of wires to penetrate into the lamp holder shell. Accordingly, light emitted from each icicle-shaped bulb is scattered irregularly to generate different illuminating effects when the icicle-shaped bulb is powered on and make the lighting variations of the entire string light more versatile and interesting.

    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a cooling system (1) for electronic components (4). The cooling system (1) comprises means (7) for producing cyclic air pressure fluctuations, wherein the electronic components (4) are distanced from the pressure producing means (7). In the vicinity of the electronic components (4) are situated means (5), preferably restrictions like holes, which are affected by the cyclic air pressure fluctuations, and which produce cyclic air jets (6). The air jets (6) affect the surface of the electronic component (4), and since the air jets (6) originate directly in the vicinity of the electronic components (4), an efficient heat transfer is affected. Preferably, the pressure producing means (7) actuate a pressure Pc inside a chamber (2), and turbulent air jets (6) are produced through holes (5) of a substrate (3), onto which electronic components (4) are mounted.
