    Abstract: A solid state lamp, such as one that can replace an incandescent light bulb, has a base portion having an electrical connector for connection to a source of power, such as an Edison-type connector for connection to the mains voltage. An AC/DC converter in the base converts the mains voltage to a suitable light emitting diode (LED) drive voltage. A plurality of receptacles on the base connects to electrodes of plug-in modules. Each plug-in module supports a plurality of low power LEDs connected in series. The strings of LEDs on different modules are connected in parallel when connected to the receptacles. The modules and base are configured to allow a user to operate the lamp with different combinations of modules to generate a desired light output from the lamp. For example, the user can recreate the lumens equivalent of a 20W, 40W, or 60W bulb by using one, two, or three modules.

    Abstract: A standard table lamp requires an electrical outlet to supply alternating current (AC) and illuminate a standard AC light bulb, including new technology, low wattage AC light bulbs such as a 7 Watt LED or a 7 Watt CFL. This limits the placement and portability of light emitting devices such as table lamps, floor lamps, chandeliers or wall sconces within a commercial or residential living space. To date, there are products that use batteries to power light sources but the form factors are usually bland and unattractive to interior designers and homeowners alike. This invention takes the idea of portable lighting and standardizes the form factor by using already developed standard low wattage AC light bulbs such as LED and CFL and standard AC light bulb sockets embedded in the design.

  • Patent number: 8733984
    Abstract: The problem addressed by the present invention consists in providing an LED luminaire which corresponds to the known shapes for incandescent bulbs both in terms of contour and size and which enables illumination similar to that of an incandescent bulb by means of the light-emitting means both in terms of the emission response and the luminous intensity of said luminaire. The heat sink which is required for technical reasons and which bears the light-emitting means itself predetermines the shape of the incandescent bulb and the emission of the LEDs for this purpose. The heat sink can in this case be in the form of one body or can comprise a plurality of separate heat sinks, which are arranged about a central axis so as to be associated with the respective light-emitting means.
