The present invention relates to a protective exterior shade/luminaire provided with a thread base cover and a protective canister with light-distributing thread to protect light bulbs installed in ceramic bases/sockets against weather, dust, water, shock and to provide longer life and better appearance of the light bulbs, for use in the home, in industry and in general. The thread of the base cover and the protective canister ensure a secure assembly in a firm manner and prevent the theft of the light bulb and its parts. The protective covers eliminate the need to remove the ceramic bases/sockets, because the protective exterior shade/luminaire is placed between the light bulb and the ceramic bases/sockets.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a water-resistant capture device for enclosing wired electro-magnetic components, the capture device having a base module and a connecting cap module, wherein when the base module and cap module enclose an electro-magnetic component and the base module is connected to the cap module, one or more electric wires are passed through wire apertures formed by a combined base module and cap module. In some embodiments, the base module may be deformable and deform when affixed to the cap module. In some embodiments a sealing agent may be disposed in an interior of the capture device. The sealing agent may, for example, be assembled in solid form and be at least partially liquified for distribution. In an exemplary embodiment, an LED may be captured within the capture device. The sealing agent may provide a water resistant seal between a base and a housing element.

Various embodiments of the present invention provide a light emitting diode (LED) lighting fixture and methods of installing the same. In various embodiments, an LED lighting fixture may comprise: at least one socket comprising a socket opening; at least one LED positioned substantially within the socket opening; at least one shield member positioned adjacent the at least one socket such that the shield substantially encloses the socket opening; at least one decorative light shade; at least one cover comprising a neck portion having an internal surface, the internal surface defining a cover opening. The cover opening is configured to receive there-through at least a portion of a socket and substantially engage the socket. At least a portion of the cover is configured to substantially engage the decorative light shade. Also, at least a portion of the cover is configured to substantially enclose the LED and shield.

A filtering assembly for enhancing lighting from a luminaire serves as a lighting filter that includes one or more stackable and interchangeable filter devices. The filter devices are configured to detachably couple to a luminaire, and custom block a portion of the light transmitted from the luminaire. This enables a uniquely shaped transmission of light and/or removing unwanted spills and or glare emanating from the luminaire. The filter devices comprise a body that defines a clear section that allows full passage of light from the underlying luminaire, and an opaque section that allows partial or no passage of light. The filter devices also comprise an outer rim having a friction enhancing material that enables a snug engagement with the perimeter recess forming in the luminaire. The friction enhancing material of the outer rim restricts slippage when stacking multiple filter devices, and with the inside perimeter recess formed in the luminaire.

A projection lamp and a lamp holder include a housing defining a projection port, a lampshade covered on the projection port of the housing, and a projection lamp assembly. Light is emitted from the projection port. The projection lamp assembly includes at least two light sources and a first corrugated sheet. Patterns are provided on the first corrugated sheet. The at least two light sources are configured to emit the light. The light passes through the first corrugated sheet and the lampshade to emit out. Projection brightness of the at least two light sources is great and the first corrugated sheet is replaceable. A projected image is replaced by replacing a pattern-changing gear in tan inserting groove. Light strips are arranged on an outer wall of the projection lamp to create a visual atmosphere effect.

An irradiation method includes irradiating an environment with light using one or more one ceiling-mounted light sources, where each ceiling-mounted light source has an optical axis oriented vertically downward, and wherein each ceiling-mounted light source emits a light distribution having more angle-integrated intensity in a higher angular range relative to the optical axis of the ceiling-mounted light source than in a lower angular range relative to the optical axis of the ceiling-mounted light source. A ceiling-mounted light source may include a support structure, one or more light emitters disposed on a surface of the support structure, and a reflector with a funnel-shaped reflective surface facing the support structure and expanding with increasing distance from the support structure along the optical axis. The light emitters may be ultraviolet (UV) light emitters whereby the light source is a UV ceiling-mounted light source.
