  • Publication number: 20110096550
    Abstract: A lamp includes a bracket including a shaft and a limiting member and a lamp body pivotably engaged with the shaft. The lamp body includes a luminous portion and a counterweight portion at different sides of the shaft. When the lamp body is at a first position, the luminous portion of the lamp body abuts the limiting member; when the luminous portion is subjected to an exterior force which is caused by weight of snow/ice accumulated on the luminous and excesses a set value, the lamp body rotates around the shaft from the first position to a second position; when the exterior force disappears or decreases to be less than the set value, the lamp body returns from the second position to the first position. The lamp can automatically remove the snow/ice accumulated on the lamp body.

  • Publication number: 20110089856
    Abstract: A control circuit for controlling current through LEDs of an LED lamp includes a voltage regulator, a feedback circuit with an amplifier and a photo-resistor. The voltage regulator includes an output terminal connecting with the LEDs and a feedback terminal The amplifier includes an in-phase input end coupling with an output end of the LEDs, an out-phase input end and an output end connected to the feedback terminal of the voltage regulator. The photo-resistor is connected between the out-phase input end of the amplifier and the ground. The photo-resistor has a resistance increasing along with a decrease of the light intensity of the LEDs. The increase of resistance of the photo-resistor is fed back to the voltage regulator via the amplifier, to thereby increase the electric current through the LEDs to maintain the light intensity of the LED lamp within an acceptable range.
