  • Patent number: 11959600
    Abstract: A flameless candle includes a candle body, a light source, and a flame element. The candle body includes an inner region and an upper surface including an aperture. The light source is energized and de-energized selectively to control whether or not a light is emitted. The light emitted by the light source is emitted towards the interior region of the flame element, such that it passes through the interior region and onto the interior surface. The flame element is at least partially transparent or translucent, such that it permits the light to propagate through the flame element and outwardly from the exterior surface. While the light is emitted, the flame element moves with respect to non-moving portions of the candle body. While the light is emitted, at least a portion of the flame element extends through the aperture in the upper surface.

  • Patent number: 11940145
    Abstract: A lighting device has a rectangular cubic shape and includes “leaves” which may be pivoted between closed and opened positions. Three separate options for illumination devices are included which are all unique and differ from one another. Illumination means is operated by a switch that closes a circuit activating illumination when a leaf is opened and opening the circuit thereby stopping illumination when a leaf is closed. The illumination means for each leaf consists of one or more LEDs. Known technology allowing the LEDs to change colors and to be dimmed or brightened may suitably be employed. If desired, artificial intelligence (AI) technology may be incorporated into the lighting device. For example, the device can be operated using voice prompts to dim or brighten LEDs, illuminate them or stop illumination and change colors. A dedicated phone App can be utilized in controlling the various modes of operation of the invention.

  • Patent number: 11913623
    Abstract: Improvements a portable elevated lighting system that uses LED lighting elements for illumination. The LED lights are selected based upon the light transmission angle so the fewest number of lighting elements are needed to provide an even flood or focus of light from the system. A reflector works as a heat sink to remove heat from the LED lights and extend the operation life of the LED's. Thermal paste and or a thermal pad is used between the LED lighting element and the frame to conduct sufficient heat away from the LED element. Two versions are shown as a stadium light and as a circular flood light that provides lighting without shadows or bright areas. The system can be operated from a generator or solar for charging batteries so the lighting can operate self-contained without producing noise.
