  • Patent number: 7871301
    Abstract: A decorative light has two conductors mounted in a casing. Two terminals of a bulb are positioned by electrical connectors of the conductors, and the terminals electrically connect with the electrical connectors. The bulb is positioned in the casing without a light seat, so number of elements is decreased. The terminals of the bulb are inserted and positioned by the electrical connectors, so cutting and bending of the terminals is not required and an efficiency of fabrication is increased.

  • Publication number: 20080272705
    Abstract: The light emitting diode (LED) lamp assembly has an LED light string, a power plug, an AC to DC converter and a voltage-regulating element. The LED light string has multiple LEDs connected in series. The power plug is connected to the LED light string and obtains an AC power from an external AC power source. The AC to DC converter is retained and mounted in the power plug and is connected to the LED light string, wherein the AC to DC converter obtains and converts the AC power into a DC power. The voltage-regulating element is connected between the LED light string and the AC to DC converter in the power plug and has a constant voltage. Therefore, a voltage supplied to the LED light string is obtained by subtracting the constant voltage of the voltage-regulating element from the voltage of the DC power.
