  • Patent number: 8172590
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a connecting structure of a lamp head base (2) and a lamp tube base (3). The lamp head base (2) includes an upper cover (21) and a lower cover (22) to engage with each other. The lower cover (22) has two troughs (221) which face downward and a through hole (222) disposed between the two troughs (221). A locking base (5) is connected to the lower cover (22). The locking base (5) includes a press surface (51) which is exposed outside an outer surface of the lower cover (22) and a hook (52) at an inner end thereof. The hook (52) is located above the through hole (222). The lamp tube base (3) includes two tubular sleeves (31) to fix two feet (41) which extend upward from a lamp tube (4), a connecting portion (32) to secure the two tubular sleeves (31), and a locking slot (33) disposed above the connecting portion (32).

  • Patent number: 8002585
    Abstract: A detachable lamp socket includes a contact member (1), a housing (2), and a fixing ring (3). A lower end of the contact member (1) is connected to an upper end of the housing (2). The fixing ring (3) is fitted on the junction of the contact member (1) and the housing (2) to fix the contact member (1) and the housing (2). The top of the housing (2) is provided with the engaging groove (22) and the bottom of the contact member (1) is provided with hooks (12). With the hooks (12) and the engaging groove (22), the contact member (1) and the housing (2) are connected together. The notch (221) of the engaging groove (22) is open, such that the hooks (12) of the contact member (1) are levelly pushed in the engaging groove (22). The fixing ring (3) may be threaded onto outer threads (23) of the housing (2) to complete the assembly. This can prevent a lamp base from being loosened when rotating a lamp, so that the contact member (1) and the housing (2) are connected firmly.

  • Publication number: 20110163652
    Abstract: An LED lamp includes a lamp body, a reflecting cup disposed at an outer side of the main body and a fixing seat extending from a bottom of the reflecting cup. The fixing seat has at least one inclined surface which is disposed at an angle in the range of 1 degree to 30 degrees with respect to the axis of the LED lamp. A lighting member is provided on the at least one inclined surface. The light is not emitted at a right angle so the light is not harsh to the eyes. Besides, the LED is not installed on an upright surface, which can reduce the light to be blocked. The inclined surface is disposed at an angle in the range of 1 degree to 30 degrees with respect to the axis of the lamp. This arrangement can avoid a larger dark area because of a smaller angle and avoid increasing the direct light range because of a larger angle. The light of the lamp can be reflected effectively.

  • Publication number: 20100167576
    Abstract: A replaceable lamp assembly includes a lamp adapter and a lamp holder. The lamp adapter is detachably connected to the lamp holder. The lamp adapter has a top provided with a connecting member and a bottom formed with a sliding trough. The lamp holder has a top provided with a sliding block which corresponds to the sliding trough. The sliding trough and the sliding block are either a T-shaped trough and a T-shaped block or a swallow-tailed trough and a swallow-tailed block, which have a flat configuration without taking a lot of space. Accordingly, the lamp adapter has enough space to accommodate a circuit board, a lamp ballast, and so on. It is not necessary to increase the size of the lamp adapter. The lamp assembly of the present invention is compact and changeable in shape.
