Abstract:
A lighting assembly includes a bulb assembly. The bulb assembly includes a stem projecting from the bulb base, and an illuminating element coupled to the stem. The bulb base is electrically coupled to the illuminating element. The base assembly is configured to be electrically coupled to the bulb base, and has an interface feature configured to be coupled to a power source. The illuminating element is capable of illumination when the interface feature is connected to the power source.
Abstract:
A lighting assembly, and a replaceable lighting element for use with such an assembly, includes a first illumination element comprising a flexible, planar, illuminating material. The lighting assembly also includes a base operable to couple the first illumination element to a socket and an interface physically and electrically coupling the first illumination element to the base. The replaceable lighting element includes an interface configured to removably couple the lighting element to a base both physically and electrically.
