20100225244LED penlight bulb - The invention presents a new design of one-cell and two-cell LED penlight bulbs and it's embedded PCB electronic circuit board structure, specially shaped LED encapsulation and a base to make it physically interchangeable with standard incandescent penlight bulbs. The bulb houses a super bright LED in a specially shaped, spherical molded top. The leads from the LED are soldered on the PC Board that is embedded inside the base. The PC Board power input ports connect to the metal base. The base and the LED molded encapsulation are attached together by means of bonding (thermal, sonic or solvent), friction interference fit or adhesive. The PC Board utilizes an amplifier design which allows the LED to be powered by either one or two 1.5 volt dry cells. The simple bulb design significantly reduces the weight of the entire product, generates much less heat and also dramatically reduces the power consumption of the penlight.09-09-2010
