An illumination apparatus comprises a plurality of LEDs aligned to an array of directional optical elements wherein the LEDs are substantially at the input aperture of respective optical elements. An electrode array is formed on the array of optical elements to provide at least a first electrical connection to the array of LED elements. Advantageously such an arrangement provides low cost and high efficiency from the directional LED array.

A light emitting device includes a first metal plate, a second metal plate, and light emitting elements between the metal plates. The device further includes a wavelength conversion member excited by a first light from the light emitting elements to emit a second light having a wavelength different from the first light, a bulb including a base, a first lead connected to the first metal plate, and a second lead connected to the second metal plate. The base of the bulb includes terminals connected to respective leads. The conversion member covers the light emitting elements entirely, opposite surfaces of the first metal plate partially, and opposite surfaces of the second metal plate partially. The first lead is connected to a portion of the first metal plate exposed from the conversion member, and the second lead is connected to a portion of the second metal plate exposed from the conversion member.

Various embodiments for a headlamp having a detachable light are disclosed. In some embodiments a headlamp includes a head guard with a first light source and a removable item with a second light source. The removable item is configured to removably couple to the head guard. The first light source is automatically illuminated when the second light source is removed from the headlamp base.

Apparatus and methods for lighting. The apparatus may include an LED light source. The light source may be disposed in housing. The apparatus may include a circuit. The circuit may be configured to cause the LED light source to emit light at: a first intensity; and a second intensity that is different from the first intensity. The apparatus may include a mechanical power state selector. A user may use the power state selector to select between LED light sources that are arranged to illuminate in different directions. The apparatus may include a CCT state selector. A user may use the CCT state selector to select a CCT for one or more LED light sources. The CCT may be produced by combining light from one or more LEDs of different CCTs.

A method and apparatus include attaching a lighted cup holder to a seating arrangement. The lighted cup holder includes a cup holder body and a light-producing light source, with the cup holder body being attached to the seating arrangement and having a cup receptacle therein, the light-producing source being disposed within the cup receptacle for illuminating the receptacle. A light-sensitive element operatively connected to the light source selectively controls production of light by the light source in such a manner that illumination of the cup holder is provided only under conditions where visibility is reduced to the point that it becomes difficult to locate the cup holder. The light-sensitive element is mounted on a master lighted cup holder and controls illumination of the master lighted cup holder and one or more slave lighted cup holders operatively connected to the master lighted cup holder.

There is provided a lighting device comprising an exhaust tube and a wireless communication antenna arranged inside the exhaust tube. There is also provided a method for producing such a lighting device.

A solid state lamp includes a connector and a bulb portion with multiple strips.
