Abstract: An LED (Light-Emitting Diode) lamp structure for reducing multiple shadows comprises a supporting element, LED light sources and a first reflector. The LED light sources are arranged on the supporting element and the first reflector is arranged in light paths of the LED light sources so that lights emitted from the LED light sources can be scattered or diffused (reflected) by the first reflector toward all directions. An object that is placed under the LED lamp structure can be illuminated by the lights while production of multiple shadows of the object can be reduced.

Abstract: Disclosed is a minimal incision surgical light source module with a light-emitting diode (LED), comprising a first LED, a first lens set, a reflector set, a second lens set and a fiber-optic connector. The first lens set, the reflector set, the second lens set and the fiber-optic connector are sequentially arranged along a light-emitting path of the first LED in a light-coupling configuration, so that light rays emitted from the first LED are coupled into an optical fiber by the fiber-optical connector. By implementing the minimal incision surgical light source module, the light rays emitted from the first LED are concentrated and condensed into a light beam after passing through the first lens set, the reflector set and the second lens set, thereby reducing a circumference of the concentrated light beam.

Abstract: A lighting apparatus having a separate control panel comprises a lamp holder and a light source module that is settled in the lamp holder. The light source module is electrically connected to the control panel through a set of wires and the control panel is settled separately from the lamp holder. Thereby, the lighting apparatus can be sized without consideration for dimensions of the control panel and therefore the lighting apparatus can be efficiently reduced in its thickness and weight.

Abstract: An aquarium lamp structure with a heating function comprises a light source module and a heat conducting element. The light source module has a housing which has a first surface, and the heat conducting element has a first heat conductor and a second heat conductor. The first heat conductor of the heat conducting element has a second surface in heat conducting connection with the first surface of the light source module while the second heat conductor is in heat conducting connection with the first heat conductor as a whole and protruding from the housing. On one hand, heat generated by the light source module is conducted away from the light source module through the heat conducting element; on the other hand, the heat generated by the light source module is used to heat water in an aquarium.

Abstract: A biaxial folding lamp structure comprises a support unit, a first lighting unit and a second lighting unit, wherein the support unit has a first surface and a second surface; the first lighting unit is combined with the first surface via a first pivot; and the second lighting unit is combined with the second surface via a second pivot. With the first and second lighting units, the biaxial folding lamp structure can simultaneously provide lighting in two axial directions, thereby increasing an illuminated area. In addition, the first and second pivots allow the first and second lighting units to be folded up for storage.
