    摘要: A method for providing illumination to a timepiece includes providing an array of LEDs arranged around a periphery of a substantially planar surface such that each LED in the array of LEDs emits light toward a center of the periphery. The substantially planar surface overlays a timepiece movement having a watch hand pinion that extends through a hole in the substantially planar surface. The substantially planar surface is bounded by a casing of the timepiece. The method also includes situating each of the LEDs in a diffuser layer extending across the substantially planar surface to scatter light emitted by each LED. The method also includes applying power to the array of LEDs such that each LED is driven at a current lower than a specified current for normal operation of the LED.

    摘要: A watch including a watch case provided with a case middle, the case middle carrying an element provided with at least one index and defining an inner cavity. The watch further includes at least one pair of electrodes and at least one light source device connected to the electrode pair and arranged opposite the index, the electrodes of the electrode pair being fixed inside the inner cavity, the element being water permeable such that, when the watch is immersed in seawater, the seawater can penetrate the inner cavity so that the electrode pair and the seawater form an electrochemical cell, for powering the light source device.

    摘要: A multifunctional timepiece with LED illuminating system mainly includes a case frame, a movement, a set of hands, a dial, a main body of the timepiece, a set of LED lights, a light transmissible plate, a power supply and a control device. The LED lights are fixed to a circumferential edge of the light transmissible plate; the light transmissible plate is located above the dial, the hands are located above the light transmissible plate, and the light transmissible plate is provided with markers, which are consistent with those provided on the dial. The set of LED lights includes at least three LED lights, which are equally spaced and electrically connected to a set of wires in series or in parallel. The control device can be a photosensitive control element or a manual control switch. The timepiece can further include a thermometer and a hygrometer located within the case frame.

    摘要: Quickly USB Charging ports for lighting device has USB charging-ports which meet 2007 released specification has minimum 1.0 Amp to 5 Amp at DC 5 Volt safety and quickly charging capacity to quickly charge DC current into energy-storage unit or assembly inside the other electric or digital product(s) without high voltage DC current for overheat and fire risk and, optionally, additional outlet-units, to supply AC current to other electric or digital devices including smart phone, computer, communication, consumer electric products. The USB-unit(s) or USB-Module(s) or Outlet-unit(s) fit within or install on anywhere of the item's housing including anywhere of the base, pole, bar, stand, step, contour, edge, walls. The said USB charger only has charging function no any data transmit and only have one input power source not more than one and charging capacity minimum 1.0 Amp up for quickly charge from USB-Charging-ports by 2 male USB-plugs' USB-wire to the device's female USB-ports. The device has 2nd or more circuit-inside of device's housing to supply the current to other functions including other light source, LEDs, Plurality of LEDs has different colors, controller, switch, sensor, motion sensor, PIR, remote controller, IP cam and related IR photo-diode or wireless communication for big current needed which may use 2nd transformer to supply big Amperage and different working voltage to prevent from 1 transformer not only supply USB Charging-ports(s) but also Big Power consumption for LEDs or other light source or other functions need power.

    摘要: A clock structure enabling highly uniform distribution of illuminating light includes a case frame, a dial, a movement having a shaft extended through the dial, and a set of hands connected to the movement shaft. The clock structure further includes a round acrylic plate located below the dial and having an annular blind groove formed around a peripheral area, a sheet of light uniforming paper attached to an upper surface of the acrylic plate, a silk-screen printing ink layer formed on a lower surface of the acrylic plate, a flexible circuit board mounted in the blind groove, and LED lights equally spaced on the circuit board to emit light toward a radially inner surface of the blind groove. The silk-screen printing ink layer diffusely reflects the light and the light uniforming paper enables uniform distribution of the light over the dial to make the clock structure a high-end product.
