The lamp includes at least two light emitting diodes, the light emitting diodes projecting light in substantially opposite primary directions. A disclosed lamp for a bus stop arm includes a connector configured to fit in a lamp socket on a bus stop arm, and at least two light emitting diodes. The light emitting diodes project light in substantially opposite primary directions.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display equipped with a backlight assembly having a lamp socket comprising, a lamp lead seating portion on which a lamp lead is seated, and a contact terminal fastened to the lamp lead seating portion to fix the lamp lead.

Abstract: A fluorescent lighting assembly for a cabinet or display case may be retrofitted to provide non-fluorescent lighting of the cabinet or display case by providing an existing fluorescent lighting system of the cabinet or display case having a socket for receiving a fluorescent lamp. The socket has electrical contacts for providing current to the fluorescent lamp and is powered by a power source. An LED lighting assembly is configured for engaging the socket when the fluorescent lamp is removed so that the LED lighting assembly is held in place by the socket. The LED lighting assembly includes a base configured for coupling to the existing socket of the fluorescent lighting system and an electrical connector for engaging the contacts of the socket.

Abstract: A lamp-connection socket for a lamp for a display device, and a backlight unit and LCD device using the same are disclosed. The lamp-connection socket includes a body that includes a lamp receiving portion that supports an end portion of a lamp; a first terminal that extends from within the body to the outside of the body to receive a potential for driving the lamp; a balance device arranged within the body and electrically connected to the first terminal; and a clip arranged in the body that releaseably clamps a lamp electrode at the end of the lamp, the clip electrically connected to the balance device.

Abstract: A backlight assembly includes at least one lamp including a lamp electrode, at least one lamp socket holding the lamp, an inverter applying electric power to the lamp, and a receiving container including a socket receiving portion corresponding to an end portion of the lamp to receive the lamp socket and an inverter receiving portion for receiving the inverter. Therefore, a manufacturing process may be simplified, and manufacturing costs is decreased.

Abstract: Socket arrangements for releasably mounting LEDs and light fixtures or assemblies employing such sockets are described. The socket arrangements facilitate the replacement of LEDs to replace an original LED with a brighter replacement, to change the color of the LED, to replace a single LED with a multiple chip LED, to replace a damaged or burned out LED with a new one, or the like. In further assemblies with plural LEDs, the use of ready release sockets facilitates selective replacement of an LED or LEDs and greatly enhances the flexibility of such units.

Abstract: A bulb holder with an improved structure comprising a bulb socket having a first connector with a first combining segment at one end thereof for being fastened to the bulb socket wherein the first combining segment has a first sidewall perpendicularly extending comprising a first fixing portion, and a base casing having a second connector for being coupled to said first connector, wherein the second connector having a second combining segment at one end thereof for being fastened to the bulb socket wherein the second combining segment has a second sidewall perpendicularly extending that comprises a second fixing portion for receiving said first fixing portion. Through foregoing structure, a bulb holder that can be fabricated easily and combined securely is therefore accomplished.

Abstract: A lamp socket (10) comprises a housing (12) having a longitudinal axis (14) and first and second planar surfaces, (16, 18), respectively, spaced apart along the longitudinal axis (14), and orthogonal thereto. Aa central, lamp receiving opening (20) is coaxially aligned with the longitudinal axis 14 and mounting means 21 are formed with the first planar surface for accepting, and electrically connecting a lamp, and maintenance means 21a are formed with the second planar surface for maintaining the lamp within the socket. The mounting means (21) includes a first pair of lamp contacts (22, 24) positioned in a first pair of cavities (22?, 24?) formed in the first planar surface (16). The maintenance means (21a) include first lamp base receivers (30) and second lamp base receivers (32) formed in the second planar surface (18); and first and second lamp base retainers (38, 40), respectively, associated with the second planar surface (18).

Abstract: A car inside lamp adaptor device comprises an adaptor having a hollow seat and having a positive electrode and a negative electrode; a wire set having an electrode pin at one end thereof and another end of the wire set extending with two wires which are connected to the positive electrode and negative electrode; respectively; an elastic unit filling in a hollow seat and enclosing the positive electrode and negative electrode in an inner layer of the seat and being integrally formed with the seat; and a cap for receiving one end of the electrode pin, a ring in a hollow portion of the seat; one side of the seat having a via hole for receiving the wire set; two springs being installed in the hollow center of the seat; and each spring being fixed to the ring in the seat and another end thereof being fixed to the post.

Abstract: A lamp socket includes a lamp connection unit which is electrically connected to a lamp, a power connection unit which is disposed below and adjacent to the lamp connection unit along a longitudinal axis and is electrically connected to an electric source which supplies power to the lamp, and a fastening member which is disposed on the power connection unit, wherein the power connection unit comprises at least one sub-component which has a surface area perpendicular to the longitudinal axis which is larger than the largest surface area of the lamp connection unit perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and wherein the sub-component of the power connection unit with the largest surface area perpendicular to the longitudinal axis is located proximate to the lamp connection unit.
