The battery receptacle includes a battery port that receives and retains a battery, such as a power tool battery pack. The first light module and the second light module each include a housing supporting a lens, a light emitter such as an LED, a reflector, and a hanger to hang the light modules on a workpiece. The first light module is electrically coupled to the battery receptacle, and the second light module is electrically coupled to the battery receptacle via a connection with the first light module. The battery receptacle communicates electrical power from the battery pack to the light modules to power the light emitters.
Portable and modular solar-powered lighting devices
Modular and portable solar-powered lighting devices are described. The device may include a handle assembly including a rechargeable battery and a solar panel electrically connected to the rechargeable battery, a mounting assembly selectively attachable to the handle assembly, and a lighting assembly selectively attachable to the handle assembly, the lighting assembly including one or more light sources. The device may have a first configuration wherein the handle assembly is coupled to each of the lighting assembly and the mounting assembly; and a second configuration wherein the lighting assembly is attached to the mounting assembly and not coupled to the handle assembly. These configurations can resemble a flashlight and a headlamp, respectively.
LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE WITH HEAT SPACER

Installation mechanism of LED lighting
An installation mechanism of LED lighting includes a house and a mounting plate. The house includes a mounting slot provided on a side wall along a radial direction thereof. The mounting slot includes a implantation portion and a catch portion communicating with the implantation portion. The catch portion includes at least one catching arm provided on one of two opposite side walls thereof. The mounting plate includes two catch edges inserted in the catch portion. The implantation portion is configured for presetting the mounting plate. Each of the catch edge has a Z-typed shape in a cross section of the mounting plate along the axial direction thereof. A free edge of the Z-typed catch edge is inserted into a gap between the catching arm and the bottom of the mounting slot.
Apparatus and method for ambient light measurement by a solid state light bulb
A method for a light bulb or fixture to emit light and measure ambient light. The method includes driving solid state light sources, such as LEDs, in the bulb with a cyclical signal to repeatedly turn them off and on, where the light sources are turned off and on at a rate sufficient for the bulb to appear on. The method also includes measuring ambient light via a light sensor in or on the bulb during at least some times when the light sources are off, and outputting a signal related to the measured ambient light. In some cases the light sensor saturates when the solid state light sources are active and measures the ambient light level when the solid state light sources are not active. The ambient light level signal can be used to control when the light bulb is on and an intensity of light output by the bulb.

A lighting apparatus includes a housing, an electroluminescent quantum dots (QD) unit as a light source, and an electrical component for providing electrical energy to the electroluminescent QD unit. The housing may be in the form of an incandescent bulb, a halogen bulb, a fluorescent tube or a panel. The electroluminescent QD unit includes a plurality of QDs printed on an insulating substrate. The substrate may be flexible so that the electroluminescent QD unit may be bent or curved to conform to the shape of an incandescent bulb, fluorescent tube or panel or a halogen filament so as to mimic these traditional light sources. Methods for retrofitting traditional or LED light fixtures with a lighting apparatus including an electroluminescent quantum dots (QD) unit as a light source are also described.
CONNECTING ARRANGEMENT FOR THE ADHESIVE CONNECTION OF A POSITIONALLY SENSITIVE ELEMENT TO A RECEIVING BODY
