Abstract:
A multiple function LED night light has at least one LED device and added function(s) such as an air-freshener adaptor device, sonic device, frequency device, sensor device, bug repeller device, second light device, timepiece, electric message device, timer device, temperature device, surge protection device, electric short circuit protection device, base device for installation on an existing lamp socket, emergency light device, or any other electric device(s) suitable for home use to keep people comfortable or safe. The LED device has a first optic means to change the narrow-viewing angle of an LED's spot-light beams into a wider-viewing angle and second optic means to help make the LED night light exhibit a smooth lighting effect. The device may be arranged to fit into an existing night light bulb socket to turn any existing bulb night light into a power saving LED night light.
Abstract:
An adapter for using two one-way light bulbs in a three-way light socket comprises a lower body, a first female socket body, and a second female socket body. The lower body comprises a male metal threaded base for screwing into a three-way light socket. The first female socket body is connected to the lower body and comprises a first female threaded socket for receiving a first one-way light bulb. The second female socket body is connected to the lower body and comprises a second female threaded socket for receiving a second one-way light bulb. The first one-way light bulb is energized when the three-way light socket switch is in a low position, the second one-way light bulb is energized when the three-way light socket switch is in a medium position, and both one-way light bulbs are energized when the three-way light socket switch is in a high position.
Abstract:
A lamp base having an electrical device recharging receptacle configured to receive a plug from a recharging device for a portable rechargeable electronic device. The receptacle is configured as a standard automobile cigarette lighter receptacle. The receptacle includes standard cigarette lighter receptacle electrical contacts that are connected to a voltage and current conversion circuit for receiving standard household voltage and converting it into standard automotive voltage and current. An adapter receptacle is provided in the lamp base with securable replacement electrical and mechanical connection mechanism, wherein the conversion circuit provides a voltage and current to the adapter receptacle. A replaceably securable USB adapter plug comprising a second conversion circuit for converting the voltage and current provided to the adapter receptacle into a standard USB voltage and current. The replaceably securable USB adapter plug may be electrically and mechanically disconnected and replaced with an upgraded replaceably securable USB adapter plug having a third conversion circuit to convert the voltage and current provided to a different USB voltage and current.

Abstract:
The disclosure describes devices that are used in conjunction with a pair of (single wattage) compact fluorescent lamps (CFL). In some embodiments, the devices can emulate the behavior of a 3-way incandescent bulb used in a standard 3-way lamp socket. Such can allows people to retain the benefits of their existing Edison-base (E26d) 3-way lamps with the improved energy efficiency and color temperature of modern CFL technology in a cost effective and flexible way. Light fixture conversion kits for allowing an incandescent lamp to accept CFL bulbs are also described.
Abstract:
A string light assembly includes a string light connector and a lighting module electrically connected with the string light connector. The string light connector includes a cable, a plug connected with one end of the cable, and a socket module connected with the other end of the cable. The socket module has a plurality of interface modules of which at least one is used for connecting the lighting module, and at least one is used for connecting a plug of another string light connector. A plurality of the string light assemblies are connected to form a light string by engaging the plugs and the corresponding interface modules of the socket modules thereof with one of the plugs used for connecting power source. The string light assembly is designed to facilitate the connection and disconnection between two string light assemblies so as to conveniently adjust the length of the light string.
