Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a LED vehicle light having a current consuming device, and more particularly to one having a LED module connected with an electric heating circuit pad to increase current consuming of the LED module and to dispense the heat rapidly through electric heating wires of the electric heating circuit pad.

2. Description of the Prior Art

A traditional vehicular light is provided with an incandescent lamp, which consumes more current, and the vehicular computer diagnosis system is also programmed in accordance with this standard.

In view of this, most of modern vehicle makers have changed to use a LED light which consumes less current, however, for those older models, the incandescent lamp is still their standard equipment.

When such vehicles are replaced with LED lights, the vehicular computer diagnosis system will detect an error reading of the current consuming value and send a faulty message because the current consuming of the LED lights is less.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is the primary objective of the present invention to provide a LED vehicle light having a current consuming device, which is small in size and is light in weight.

It is another objective of the present invention to provide a LED vehicle light having a current consuming device, which is easy to be installed.

It is a further objective of the present invention to provide a LED vehicle light having a current consuming device, which can dispense the heat in a rapid speed.

According to the present invention, there is provided a LED vehicle light having a current consuming device comprising a lighting fixture comprising a connecting terminal and a light emitting diode (LED) module, said LED module being connected to said connecting terminal; and an electric heating circuit pad comprising connecting ends to be connected with said connecting terminal of said lighting fixture.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the present invention comprises a lighting fixture 1 and an electric heating circuit pad 2.

The lighting fixture 1 comprises a connecting terminal 11 and a light emitting diode (LED) module 12. The LED module 12 is connected with the connecting terminal 11. The LED module 12 consumes less electric power, and the total current consuming depends on the size of the lighting fixture 1 and the number of light emitting diodes used.

The electric heating circuit pad 2 comprises connecting ends 21 and a plurality of electric heating wires 22 formed between the connecting ends 21. The electric heating circuit pad 2 may be a hard or flexible pad having the electric heating wires 22 therein. The electric heating wires 22 may be ether electric heat resistances or electric heating films. In this embodiment, the electric heating wires 22 are formed by printing circuit. The connecting ends 21 of the electric heating circuit pad 2 are connected to the connecting terminal 11 of the lighting fixture 1 which in turn is connected to an electric source A and a vehicular computer B, respectively. The electric source A is to supply power through the connecting terminal 11 to the lighting fixture 1 and the electric heating circuit pad 2, respectively. Because the LED module 12 of the lighting fixture 1 consumes less electric current, the electric heating circuit pad 2 is adapted to compensate the power difference of the original electric current consuming to prevent misjudgment from the current consuming value.

The electric heating circuit pad 2 is compact in size and is light in weight. It is easy to mount the electric heating circuit pad 2 to the vehicle by attaching the electric heating circuit pad 2 to the space behind a headlight or a taillight, so that the heat may be easily dispensed through the electric heating wires 22.

As shown in FIG. 3, the present invention may be provided with a controller 13 located between the LED module 12 and the connecting terminal 11 of the lighting fixture 1 to receive the signals from the vehicular computer B to control the LED module 12 to display warning light in accordance with the situation of the vehicle.
