Patent number: 11649943Abstract: A light fixture includes a light receiver, an electrically-powered light source coupled to the light receiver, and a vessel containing a liquid. The vessel is translucent such that the light from the light source radiates through the vessel. The vessel includes an outer wall and an inner wall that define an enclosed area that receives and contains the liquid. The inner wall defines an open area positioned radially inward from the enclosed area and the inner wall includes a top opening and a bottom opening such that the open area is a through-hole extending through the enclosed area. The vessel is configured such that light emitted from the light source passes through the liquid contained within the vessel.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2022Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Inventors: Brian M. Kaule, Nicholas R. Rindt, Dennis L. Snyder

Patent number: 8142058Abstract: A tri-dimming push handle switch lamp holder is disclosed, which enables a user to press the push handle for a selection among three dimming levels: full brightness, middle luminance and complete darkness, where the lamp holder is made up of a body, a first conducting member, a first contact plate, a conducting plate, a second conducting member, a second contact plate, a rectifying diode, a flap, a push handle, an insulating plate and a threaded tube shell, which are integrated together to form an advanced lamp holder that features not only the basic switching function but an extra tri-level dimming function, substantially boosting its usage for all kinds of occasions. Moreover, an extra arrangement of the conducting plate and the rectifying diode enables the structural combination and the function of this invention to present great creativeness.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2009Date of Patent: March 27, 2012Assignee: Goldweal Far East Ltd.Inventor: Wen-Ho Yang

Patent number: 7857498Abstract: An electronic-ballast lamp system comprises a modular lamp ballast in a plug-in housing. A light fixture has matching sockets for the ballast and is pre-wired for the intended lamp tubes. In one instance, an electronic ballast accepts 100-300 VAC and 50-60 Hz power inputs, and provides the correct rapid-start, instant-on, or standard lamp outputs as sensed from the lamps themselves, or as read from a data card embedded in the light fixture. The data card is read optically or electronically, depending on application, or the lamp types may be dialed-in on the ballast itself.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2006Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Inventor: Toby Smith

Patent number: 7661852Abstract: Disclosed is an integrated LED bulb that utilizes LEDs and can be used as a standard replacement bulb for incandescent lights that operate on standard household current. One or more LEDs are disposed in a lens 102 that is capable of high optical transmission efficiencies. A base portion encapsulates a printed circuit board and connectors, as well as the LED pin leads to hold the package in a secure mounting. The lens can be molded directly to the base or can be removable. The base can be formed to fit standard threaded sockets or bayonet sockets.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2007Date of Patent: February 16, 2010Assignee: 1 Energy Solutions, Inc.Inventor: Jing Jing Yu

Patent number: 7556398Abstract: The invention relates to a lighting unit, comprising a first light element formed as a conventional light source, a second light element formed as a plurality of LEDs and a lamp cap. According to the invention the second light element is formed as a separate LED module with a fitting and a second lamp cap whereby the first and the second light elements are removably attached via the fitting and the second lamp cap, the fitting and second lamp cap providing electrical and mechanical connection between both light elements. The invented lighting unit is cost-effective and has better mixing possibilities of the light produced by both light elements.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2005Date of Patent: July 7, 2009Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventor: Lucas Leo Desiree Van Der Poel

Patent number: 6247832Abstract: A glass dome holder having an upper and a lower ring assembly for placing on the top and bottom of a glass dome. A plurality of spoke members connect the upper and lower ring assembly surrounding the glass dome and forming a unified structure. The upper ring assembly includes a J-bracket assembly including a J-bracket. A pair of connecting brackets are provided for connecting to a customer supplied U-bracket attached to a high bay unit. A socket and bracket assembly can be adjustably fixed to the connecting brackets. The hook portion of the J-bracket can be releasably fixed to the connecting bracket.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 1999Date of Patent: June 19, 2001Inventor: Jerome Neustadt

Patent number: 5339225Abstract: The invention herein is directed to an improved illuminated wand structure specifically intended as a boat stern running light, formed by a tubular wand member being elongated in configuration. The wand includes at least one light source positioned adjacent either the bottom end, and adapted to emit light upwardly, or positioned adjacent the top end and adapted to emit light in a downward direction. The tubular wand has a smooth outer wall and an inner wall provided with a light diffractive surface. Light emitted from either the upper or lower light source will be diffracted along the inner wall of the elongated wand thereby to illuminate the entire length of the wand. The wand may be provided with a light source at the bottom end and adapted to emit light upwardly, and a second light source positioned adjacent the top end to emit light in a downward direction where the wand is of a longer elongated configuration.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 1993Date of Patent: August 16, 1994Inventor: Ron Wiggerman

Patent number: 4532580Abstract: A signalling light according to the invention has a concave reflector with a substantially cylindrical lamp holder for an electric lamp. The position of the lamp holder can be adjusted from inside the reflector. The lamp holder is connected to the reflector so as to be rotatable about its axis. Means which can be manipulated from inside the reflector fix the lamp holder in any adjusted position.The construction of the signalling light makes it possible to position an asymmetric light source in the reflector in such manner that an optimum light beam is obtained.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 1984Date of Patent: July 30, 1985Assignee: U.S. Philips CorporationInventor: Willem J. F. Bout
