In another embodiment, the tracer lamp unit comprises an LED flashing module that houses a lens, a capacitor, a resistor, leads, and a flashing control circuitry, wherein the tracer lamp unit housing is adapted to slidably receive, provide structural support for, and be separable from the LED flashing module.

Abstract: A light directing device for a connector includes a translucent tube having a slanted portion and a straight portion. The slanted portion has a perpendicular face adapted to be engaged with a side face of a light emitting diode. A reflection seat is adapted to be securely connected to the connector and having at least one pair of covering plates. Each pair of covering plates defines therebetween a gap for receiving therein the light emitting diode.

Abstract: A lamp assembly for a microscope, the microscope having a stand, comprising a female member comprising a first electrical socket, the socket arranged to provide a source of electricity for a lamp, the female receptacle located inside the microscope stand, and, a male member comprising at least two electrical pin terminals arranged to matingly engage the first electrical socket to receive electricity therefrom, and, a second socket electrically connected to the at least two electrical pin terminals, the second socket arranged to hold the lamp and provide electricity thereto.

Abstract: A wedge base for a lamp including a body section for mounting the lamp envelope with filament lead wires extending out, the body having a shoulder and an integral, depending rib. The bottom edge of the rib has notches formed along the lower edge. Lead wire bores are formed through the shoulder and rib and terminate in the notches. The lead wires extend through the bores, out of the notches and are folded upwardly against the rib. A bracket secures the lead wires against the rib. The bracket has a first side with at least one pin and a second side with at least one hole. Each bracket side has vertical wire grooves its inner face. The bracket sides are laterally positioned on each side of the rib with the pin engaging the hole and snapped together to secure the lead wires within the groves and against the rib. When assembled, the base is configured to fit securely, with electrical contact, within the socket of a lamp fixture.

Abstract: A mounting assembly includes first long and short legs on a first light bulb holder to correspond to first long and short recesses in the first socket, a first sectorial periphery in an outer periphery of the first light bulb holder to correspond to the first arcuate periphery on the first socket and a first right angle on the first light bulb holder to correspond to the first angle on the first socket. Further provisions are second long and short legs on a second light bulb holder to correspond to second long and short recesses in the second socket, a second sectorial periphery in an outer periphery of the second light bulb holder to correspond to the second arcuate periphery on the second socket and a first right angle on the second light bulb holder to correspond to the second angle on the second socket.

Abstract: A boat light apparatus is comprised of a navigation light and a detachable docking light. The navigation light is comprised of a navigation light housing with a low power navigation light lamp behind a lens. A socket is positioned at the top of the navigation light housing. Electrical connectors are positioned inside the socket. A detachable docking light for mating with the navigation light is comprised of a docking light housing with a high power docking light lamp inside. Docking light housing is hinged to the top of a mounting post for positioning inside the socket in the navigation light. Electrical connectors are positioned at the bottom of the post for mating with the connectors inside the socket. Navigation light lamp and docking light lamp are connected in parallel for connecting to the navigation light switch in a boat. A step relay is connected between the docking light lamp and the navigation light switch.

Abstract: An LED lamp has: an LED with a pair of terminals; a holder to which the LED is attached, the holder being of insulating material; and a radiation unit that has two metallic radiation plates that are attached to the holder while surrounding the holder and being insulated from each other. Each of the radiation plates has a contact portion that contacts the pair of terminals of the LED being attached to the holder and a power receiving terminals for power supplied to the LED.

Abstract: A flashlight having features that align the light source of a lamp with the principal axis of a reflector, such flashlight having a head assembly that includes a reflector and a lens. The reflector has a central opening that surrounds the principal axis of the reflector. The light source of the flashlight is held by a lamp base and an axis of the lamp base is aligned with the light source. Particularly, the hottest portion of the light source may be aligned with the lamp base axis. The self-centering characteristic of the lamp base is configured with a non-cylindrical feature to be seated in a base receiver. The base receiver includes a receiver axis that is aligned with the principal axis of the reflector. The lamp can include a pair of electrodes and a filament light source extending between the electrodes.

Abstract: A lighting system has a base and at least one vertical support (trunk) that frictionally engages the base. The vertical support (trunk) has apertures around its circumference and its inner circumference is lined with longitudinal current carrying conductors. A low voltage transformer disposed within the base and electrically connected to a voltage supply contact in the base. The longitudinal current carrying conductors engage the voltage supply contact when the vertical support frictionally engages the base. Pairs of current carrying rods (branches) frictionally engage the vertical support (trunk) at the apertures and have voltage supply contacts that contact the longitudinal current carrying conductors. Ornaments having resilient clasps, with a pair of separately disposed electrical contacts on both sides of the clasp, frictionally engage the current carrying rods (branches) and electrically connect the current carrying rods to the electrical contacts and the ornament.
