  • Publication number: 20090303700
    Abstract: An aquatic light emitting device comprising a plurality of point light emitting units and a plurality of linear light emitting units is disclosed. The point light emitting unit comprises a floating member part, a light source part, and a power supply part. The floating member includes a hollow body which has an internal space isolated from the outside so as to give buoyancy, one or more junction portions formed on an outer surface thereof, and has a light inlet opening formed on an upper part, and a string connected to a lower surface of the hollow body. The light source part is attached to the upper surface of the floating member, has an isolated internal space with light outlet openings provided at the upper and lower surfaces thereof, and a light source and a light source control circuit contained in the isolated internal space. The power supply part is located on the upper surface of the light source part and includes a solar cell.

  • Patent number: 7341359
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a lighting device using a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL), which has reduced size and volume and concentrates light from the CCFL, thus enhancing its luminance. The lighting device includes a casing which is open on a surface thereof, thus having an open part, with an ON/OFF switch button which protrudes through a sidewall of the casing and is used to turn on or off the lighting device. A reflective plate is inserted into the casing through the open part, with a circuit board provided on a predetermined position of the reflective plate. A CCFL is inserted into the reflective plate and electrically connected to the circuit board with a cover assembled with the casing and receiving the CCFL between the casing and the cover. A socket is assembled with each end of the casing that supports both the CCFL and the cover, and is electrically connected to the circuit board.
