  • Publication number: 20140175983
    Abstract: A lamp is provided with a full-wave rectifier for convert AC to DC; a SPD electrically connected to the full-wave rectifier for protecting the lamp from voltage spikes; series connected LEDs electrically connected to the SPD; a microprocessor electrically connected to the SPD; series connected MOSFET start circuits electrically to the microprocessor, the MOSFET start circuits configured to switch electronic signals; and resistors each electrically interconnected the LED and the MOSFET start circuit. In response to a normal DC supplied from the SPD, the microprocessor creates a PWM signal to activate the MOSFET start circuits which in turn initiate operations of the LEDs via the resistors respectively. In response to an abnormal DC having voltage spikes supplied from the SPD, the microprocessor deactivates the MOSFET start circuits which in turn direct the DC through the resistors rather than supply the DC to the LEDs via the resistors respectively.

  • Publication number: 20130027949
    Abstract: A light harvesting lens module for collecting an ambient light includes a plurality of annular lenses. The annular lenses are arranged in order from center to outside to form a disc-structure. Each annular lens has a light-input curved surface and a light-output curved surface. The light-input curved surface is in opposition to the center. The light-output curved surface is in opposition to the light-input curved surface, and faces the center. The light is incident on the light-input curved surface, and is refracted and tend to concentrate by the light-input curved surface. Then, the light is emitted from the annular lens, and is refracted to the direction of the center by the light-output curved surface. The ambient light is able to be compressed into a point light by the lens module, so as to increase the concentration ratio and the compression ratio to further get the effective advantage.
