Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an adjustable induction lamp adapter that is also extendable. The adjustable induction lamp adapter attaches to an induction lamp by clamping onto an induction lamp bar. The clamping is achieved through the use of a removable end cap at the base of the adjustable induction lamp adapter, wherein the end cap has a cutout and screw to hold the induction lamp bar in place. The adjustable induction lamp adapter is designed to also be able to extend in length by attaching one or more extension adapters.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a lamp socket extender, generally comprising a base section, an extendable body, and a head section. The base section connects to a light socket, such as an Edison style light socket. The head section attaches to a lamp adapter, which holds a lamp. The extendable body is capable of extending to create more or less distance between the head section and the base section. In a preferred embodiment, the extendable body is comprised of a core covering and a telescopic covering. There may be a wiring harness utilized to more easily attach and detach the wiring from the lamp to the lamp socket extender.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses an improved compact induction lamp, which includes a lamp bulb coated with a phosphor layer on its inner wall and contains inert gas and mercury vapor. The lamp bulb is connected to a housing and mounted to a lamp base. The housing may include a control circuit. A magnetic ring located within a ring cover surrounded the lamp bulb and enclosed one cross section of the lamp bulb. A wire coil wrapped around the magnetic ring is connected with the control circuit and to the lamp base, which generates an electromagnetic field to lighten the lamp. A double wall exhaust tube containing mercury amalgam is disposed of in the housing at the lamp base to provide mercury vapor to the inner space of the lamp bulb. The double wall exhaust tube provides a mean to prevent the amalgam from penetrating into the lamp bulb and allows the lamp to be mounted in any direction the lamp may be operated.
Abstract:
A retrofit for a conventional HID light fixture, used for either low bay or high bay applications. The retrofit replaces the conventional HID light fixture with an induction lamp system. The HID bulb within the dome is replaced with two D-shaped induction lamps. The HID ballast is replaced with two ballasts for each of the D-shaped induction lamp, and is preferably kept in the original ballast housing. It is possible to independently turn on and off as well as dim each of the two D-shaped induction lamps independently.
Abstract:
A lampshade adapted to be interconvertible between an assembled configuration having a first volume and a knockdown configuration having a second, smaller volume comprises lampshade segments connected to rotational elements. Slotting means on preselected rotational elements position the connecting members to assume predetermined positions with respect to the common axis, where the rotational elements are locked in place. Methods for use of the lampshade in knockdown shipping, and kits containing the lampshade and instructional materials are also taught.
