  • Patent number: 6609804
    Abstract: A low voltage ceiling or wall mounted light fixture for residential and commercial lighting includes a plurality of high lumen white LED lights incorporated within the fixtures, a light color diffusion panel and a household current to low voltage DC converter within the fixture to convert the AC current to low voltage DC current, reducing the power required for illumination without replacement of the LED lights.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 15, 2001
    Date of Patent: August 26, 2003
    Inventors: Steven T. Nolan, Donald R. Hebert
  • Patent number: 6599000
    Abstract: A low voltage LED interior lamp for residential and commercial lighting, includes a plurality of high lumen bright white LED lights incorporated within the lamps, a light color diffusion panel and a household current to low voltage DC converter providing power to the lamp to convert the AC current to low voltage DC current, reducing power required to provide illumination for the resident or commercial application without requiring replacement of the LED lights.

  • Patent number: 6557284
    Abstract: A backlit display apparatus mounts to an exterior surface, including an automobile, wherein plain paper designs, digital photographs on plain paper or transparencies may be displayed between a white translucent dispersing panel and a clear front panel, with the front panel and the dispersing panel having a weather-proof seal. A high lumen light source, which could consist of a single bulb or a plurality of low lumen light sources, is located behind the dispersing panel, powered by either an internal DC electrical power source, an external DC electrical power source or an external 110 volt AC power source, the high lumen light source having a variable illumination control mechanism to select from a constant illumination, a flashing illumination or a passive illumination, such passive illumination derived from the external power source, including the brake light electrical system or the running light electrical system of an automobile to which the apparatus may be attached.
