A vehicle lamp comprises a light irradiation unit including a light source and a board on which the light source is installed, a base member including a first surface for mounting the light irradiation unit and a second surface adjacent to the first surface, a connection terminal arranged on the second surface and extending and protruding in a direction of the first surface, and a coupling member arranged on the board and electrically connected with the light source. The connection terminal is inserted into the coupling member when the board is mounted on the first surface.

A portable lighting device includes a light source, a body supporting the light source, the body including a first aperture, a second aperture, and a base with a bottom surface opposite the light source. The first and second apertures are configured to receive an electrical cable such that the electrical cable extends through both the first and second apertures. The portable lighting device also includes a mounting assembly coupled to the base and including a movable tab. The tab is movable relative to the base between a stored position and a deployed position, and the tab is configured to at least partially support the portable lighting device when the tab is in the deployed position.

A lighting apparatus includes a light source module, a driver, an electrical pin, a neck structure, a light passing cover and a base container. The light source module includes a LED module. The driver converts an external power source to a driving current supplied to the LED module. The electrical pin is to be plugged to an electrical socket to connect to the external power source. The neck structure has a light opening and a buckle groove. The light passing cover has a connector attached to the buckle groove. A light is emitted from the LED module passes through the light opening to the light passing cover. The base container contains the light source module and the driver. The base container fixes the electrical pin to have an exposed portion to be inserted to the electrical socket.

A string light assembly having a plurality of light components is described. Each light component comprises a first cover, a second cover, and a collar for coupling the first and second covers together. When coupled, the first and second covers form a housing that has an interior space. The interior space is sized and dimensioned to house an electrical socket and a pair of electrical wires. The electrical socket electrically and removably couple with a light element such as an LED bulb. The light component also includes a lampshade that either removably couples with the collar or is integrally formed with the light element.

An apparatus creating a flickering flame effect. The apparatus includes a housing with an interior space with first and second stages. A drive mechanism generates a time varying electromagnetic field extending into the first stage. A first pendulum member is pivotally mounted in the interior space of the first stage and includes first and second magnets on first and second ends, with the first end proximate to the drive mechanism such that the first magnet interacts with the varying electromagnetic field to cause movement of the pendulum member. The apparatus includes a second pendulum member pivotally mounted in the second stage with a magnet on a first end proximate to the second end of the first pendulum member. A flame silhouette element extends from the second pendulum member, and a light source transmits light onto the flame silhouette, which is moving due to the magnetic coupling of the pendulum members.

A light source is combined with an optic and a reflector. Light incident onto to the reflector is reflected with a single reflection. The reflector occupies a portion of a solid angle around the light source to the exclusion of the optic at least with respect to any optical function. The reflector directly receives a second portion of light. The optic occupies substantially all of the remaining portion of the predetermined solid angle to directly receive a first portion of light from the light source. A reflected beam from the reflector is reflected into a predetermined reflection pattern. The inner and/or outer surface of the optic is shaped to refract or direct light which is directly transmitted into the optic from the light source from a first portion of light and/or reflected into the optic from the reflector from the reflected beam into a predetermined beam.

An electric candle device that resembles a real was candle includes an outer shell with an uneven edge around the top of the outer shell. The device includes one or more light emitting elements positioned within a cavity inside the outer shell and that emit beams at a non-zero angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of the electric lighting device to provide illumination from within the cavity in an upward direction and reaching above the top surface after passing through the opening. An optical element is positioned to receive light from the one or more light emitting elements and to direct the received light toward the top surface. The optical element has a focal point to change one or both of a size and direction of the light received prior to projecting the light in the direction of the top surface.

LED related lighting methods and apparatus are described. Various features relate to water tight light fixtures. Some of the fixtures are spotlights while other fixture are intended for in ground use. The light fixtures in at least some embodiments include power control features. In spotlight embodiments beam angle and power or light output can be controlled without opening the light assembly or compromising the water tight seals which also protect against dirt. In ground embodiments support tilt angle setting which allow a user to set the light fixture to one or more tilt angles. Beam angle can also be changed in some embodiments as well as power control. Beam angle, power control and tilt angle adjustments are supported in some embodiments but need not be supported in all embodiments with some embodiments using one or more of the described features but not all features.
