  • Publication number: 20120126699
    Abstract: An LED lighting device is presented for both general illumination and emergency backup lighting. The device has an outer bulb shell with air vents to release heat. A metal threaded base is adapted to fit into a standard incandescent bulb socket and to allow electrical current to flow into the device. Housed within the outer bulb shell, and removably connecting the shell to the metal base is a lighting assembly. The lighting assembly is a cylindrical structure comprising bright LEDs arranged along its outer surface, some of which are powered via wall outlet power from the metal base of the device, while others utilize an internal battery power source housed within the assembly. The battery powered LEDs may be remotely activated by a remote control means. Use of the remote control sends a signal to a signal receiving means on or within the device that directs the backup LEDs to illuminate.
