20100327782 | High-Brightness LED Lamp With Battery Conservation - A high-brightness LED lamp with battery conservation and solar charging features. The portable, self-contained lamp utilizes one or more high-brightness LEDs to provide area or decorative illumination. A solar cell charging device maintains the rechargeable batteries during the daytime with available ambient light. An electronic control circuit conserves battery power by limiting the period of time that the LEDs are energized during nighttime hours when ambient lighting conditions cannot support the recharging function. A photodetector device allows the control circuit to make this determination. | 12-30-2010 |
20110255280 | Multiple LED Bulb With Thermal Management Features - An LED bulb assembly device having thermal management features. The device and methods for its manufacture are provided. The device consists of a machined base element that accepts a circuit board, a divider element, a heatsink element, and an LED assembly. The LED assembly includes a plurality of LEDs, but typically nine or eighteen. A reflector element encloses the internal components by positively engaging the base element. External electrical contact pins provide for electrical engagement with a compatible decorative lighting fixture. | 10-20-2011 |
20110292643 | SOLAR PUCKLIGHT WITH BRACKET MOUNT - An improved puck light assembly comprised of a solar-powered puck light mounted in a bracket assembly, which may be securely attached to a structural mounting surface. The puck light device of the present invention is dimensioned to be a hand-held, self-contained, rechargeable, solar-powered lighting assembly.
