Abstract: Embodiments relate to a system to support a power a fixture as well as installation thereof. A base enclosure is converted to a power junction container that functions to mechanically support a fixture and to electrical transform an outlet receptacle embedded in the container into an electrical outlet. The power junction container electrically connects a plug of a received fixture into the electrical outlet.

Abstract: Embodiments include a lamp and collapsing lampshade packaging, shipping and display device. The device includes a shell, with a hood, central trunk and bottom receptacle, and which further includes a graphic depiction of the collapsible lampshade on a display panel which may be deployed when the device is used for display purposes, thus making it appear that the collapsible lampshade is assembled and mounted on the displayed lamp. The panel may be permanently affixed in a fold-out manner to the top of the device or alternatively it may be separable from it. In the case of a permanent panel, a releasable holding secures the panel close to the shell during storage or transit. For a separable panel, releasable fixing allows panel deployment on the face of the hood for viewing. The device may store more than one lamp and the panel may include renderings of more than one lampshade.

Abstract: A solution for mitigating interference from electrical signals emitted from a fluorescent lamp. The solution employs an electronic ballast and an electromagnetic filtering circuit. The ballast supports dimming of the fluorescent lamp. At the same time, the electromagnetic filtering circuit in communication with the electronic ballast mitigates emission of electronic disturbances from the lamp.

Abstract: A power supply for a compact florescent bulb has an EMC filtering circuit, a power level selection switch a controller and an output for the bulb which is the load for the power supply. The selector switch is used to cause the controller to selectively supply one of two power levels to the florescent bulb.

Abstract: A multi-light control system with a single wireless remote control. A number of separate lights, such as fixtures or lamps, are individually plugged into and controlled by a control module. One control module can turn a light on or off, another module functions as a continuous dimmer, a third acts as a three level wattage switch. The single controller has a number of buttons or keys for individually activating the separate control modules.

Abstract: A collapsible chandelier comprises a central body and a set of arms with light fixtures at their outer ends connected to said central body by a respective set of connection bosses. Said connection bosses comprise T-shaped pairs of intersecting sleeves; the horizontal section of which penetrates said central body and the vertical section of which houses an end of one of said arms. The ends of said arms are slotted to permit the passage of electrical wiring through said arms and bosses into said central body. When said arms are aligned and said bosses tightened, said arms project in a fixed manner radially away from said control body, and when said bosses are loosened, said arms may be partially rotated to collapse said chandelier for shipment or storage. A positioning notch and nub provide the means to properly orient and fix the arms into position when said boss is tightened.

Abstract: A lamp shade which can be collapsed to reduce its size for shipping, display and storage, having an upper ring, a lower rings, and a cover. The cover of the lampshade is relatively stiff, particularly when formed into a taught cone or cylinder. It is self supporting when assembled, but the cover may still be collapsed when disassembled for shipment or storage. In one embodiment, the rings are placed into corresponding upper and lower edges of the cover and held in place by press-fitting a plurality of fitting nubs protruding from the perimeter of the rings into sockets attached along the insides of the edges. In another embodiment, the rings are held in place by press-fitting the band of the rings between jaws of a plurality of clips placed around the edges. In a third embodiment, the rings are held in place by a combination of the above two methods.
