  • Patent number: 8330362
    Abstract: A lamp has a light tube, an illuminant module mounted in the light tube and two end caps mounted respectively on two opposite ends of the light tube. A slot, being substantially inverted T-shaped in cross-section, is formed in and axially along the light tube and the end caps. A guide rail or a pair of resilient plates is disposed at a presupposed position and is mounted through the slot of the lamp to hold the lamp. An amount of lamps held on the guide rail or the pair of resilient plates is changeable according to needful brightness. Therefore, disposing the lamp is easy, quick and convenient, and a total cost for disposing the lamp is low.

  • Publication number: 20120293991
    Abstract: An LED lamp has an LED lamp board mounted in a lamp tube and two LED holder caps respectively mounted around two ends of the lamp tube. Each LED holder cap has a cap body, two pins and two parallel holding walls. One end of each pin is mounted in the circular board. One of the holding walls is conductive and connected with the pins. When the LED holder caps are respectively mounted around two ends of the lamp tube, the holding walls of each LED holder cap holds one end of the LED lamp board, and the conducting holding wall is electrically connected with a corresponding power contact of the LED lamp board so that the pins are respectively electrically connected with the power contacts. Accordingly, the problem of soldering wires with the LED lamp board and the pins of the LED holder caps can be eliminated.

  • Patent number: 8267551
    Abstract: An LED road light has a heat sink embedded with an LED module, a base and a light pole holder assembly. The base, the heat sink and the light pole holder assembly are assembled by slidably and respectively mounting ribs into slots. Accordingly, the contact area of such engagement is relatively larger than that using screws, thereby enhancing combined strength and extending the life duration of the LED road light. Besides, the engagement mechanism using ribs and slots also provide workers a convenient and time-saving assembling process.

  • Publication number: 20120007514
    Abstract: A LED lighting device capable of changing illumination color has an adjusting circuit, a bridge rectifier and multiple LED modules. The adjusting circuit is connected to a light regulator and produces a regulated input voltage in response to the output voltage of the light regulator. The bridge rectifier converts the regulated input voltage to a DC voltage to be applied to drive at least one of the LED modules. When the output voltage of the light regulator is changed, at least one of the LED modules receiving the DC voltage varies the illuminating intensity. Since the illuminating intensity of at least one of the LED modules is adjustable, the different colored lights emitted from all the LED modules are mixed to produce a desired light color.

  • Publication number: 20120007508
    Abstract: A LED lamp brightness adjusting circuit has a regulating circuit, multiple rectification diodes and filtering capacitors. Each filtering capacitor is connectable to a LED module in parallel. The LED lamp brightness adjusting circuit is connected to an output terminal of a light regulator. Based on the control of light regulator, the regulating circuit produces a regulated AC input voltage. The positive and negative half cycles of the regulated AC input voltage are further rectified and filtered to drive different corresponding LED modules. Therefore, the amplitude of the drive voltages for the LED modules are controllable to adjust the brightness of the emitted light.

  • Publication number: 20110181190
    Abstract: A brightness adjusting circuit for an LED lamp has a compensating circuit, a bridge rectifier, a filter capacitor and a current limiting circuit. The compensating circuit is connected between an output terminal of a light regulator and an AC wire to output a regulated input voltage. The bridge rectifier is connected to the compensating circuit and converts the regulated input voltage to a DC voltage. The filter capacitor is connected to the bridge rectifier. The current limiting resistor is connected between the bridge rectifier and the LED lamp to limit a current flowing through the LED lamp. When the light regulator is adjusted, the regulated input voltage across is changed accordingly. Therefore, the DC voltage produced by the bridge rectifier is varied to regulate the brightness of the LED lamp.

  • Publication number: 20110181164
    Abstract: An LED lamp with improved lighting area has a lamp base, a substrate assembly mounted on the lamp base and a cap engaged with the lamp base to enclose the substrate assembly therein. The substrate assembly has multiple substrates intersecting each other. Multiple LEDs are mounted on the substrates to form a spherical distribution that allows the LED lamp to provide wide-angled lighting.
