A lighting apparatus for vehicles, including: a light-source device containing a light source and a light source carrier; an optical device for generating a predefined light distribution; and a cooling device for the light source; the light source being fastened relative to the optical device in a target calibration position, and the light source carrier being fastened in the target calibration position between a contact surface of the optical device and a contact surface of the cooling device.

An LED lamp comprises a lampshade, a base connected to the lampshade, a photoelectric module comprising a light source module and a power supply module disposed in an accommodating space formed between the lampshade and the base, the photoelectric module is detachably fixed to the base through a mounting portion.

A lighting apparatus includes a driver, a metal plate, a light source module and a conductor unit. The driver receives an alternating current power source and converts the alternating current power source to a driving current. The metal plate is electrically connected to a ground. The light source module has a substrate and multiple LED modules. The multiple LED modules are mounted on the substrate. The substrate is disposed upon the metal plate. The conductor unit has a first end connected to the substrate of the light source module and a second end connected to the metal plate for removing a parasitic capacitance between the substrate of the light source and the metal plate for preventing a noise occurred when the LED module is turned on and the metal plate is connected to the ground.

The instant invention relates to a sub-miniature high powered light emitting diode and accompanying mounting tab device. The instant invention seeks to provide a solution to light fixture designers by making a readily available and tightly compact light emitting diode mounting device. The instant invention provides for a mounting tab with a heat dissipating element to take advantage of the tiny size of sub-miniature high powered light emitting diodes while adding negligible mounting and heat dissipating elements to set a new lighting device standard in versatility, optimal heat dissipation, and minimal mounting overhead.

A lighting apparatus includes a fixing unit, a lamp body, a base housing and multiple elastic units. The fixing unit has a central hole. The lamp body includes an inner semi-sphere housing, a rotation shaft and a light source. The base housing includes an external semi-sphere housing and a rotation connector. The rotation shaft is coupled to the rotation connector for the lamp body to rotate with respect to the base housing along a first rotation axis of the rotation shaft. The multiple elastic units are attached to the base housing. The multiple elastic units are elastically attached to the central hole for the base housing to rotate with respect to the fixing unit along a second axis. There is a tilt angle between the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis.

A light assembly including a light holder is disclosed. The light holder includes a first ring configured for threaded engagement with a second ring to form a body defining an annular cavity to maintain a light element in a fixed position relative to a motorcycle or other vehicle. The light holder includes a spacer preconfigured for the light element that provides cushion and vibration protection between the body and the light element. Alignment markers defined along the body accommodate identification of one or more axial configurations of the first ring relative to the second ring for secure threaded engagement.

Embodiments may utilize a series of exposed fins, which increase the surface area of the heat sink creating additional air flow. As hotter air rises within the system, cooler is drawn into the heatsink. The fins may be exposed on both sides of the longitudinal axis, allowing cooler air to be drawn towards the longitudinal axis above the heatsink and flow upward. This process may cool the fins. Additionally, the spacing between the fins may have to be wide enough to allow for air to freely enter the heatsink.

A light assembly mountable in an aperture formed in a railing or a light fixture. The light assembly may include a housing, first and second clamps, and first and second fasteners. The first fastener may couple the first clamp to the housing, and the second fastener may couple the second clamp to the housing. When the fasteners are rotated, the respective clamps pivot outward and move towards the railing or light fixture to retain the light assembly in the railing or the fixture. The light assembly may be removable from the aperture in the railing or the fixture.

A connector for a strip of linear lighting includes an outer shell or block and an adapter configured to be removably inserted into a cavity of the outer shell. The adapter may be a printed circuit board (PCB) adapted to mount wires on one side or edge. On the opposite side or edge, a series of contact pins are formed on the underside of the adapter. The outer shell includes a pressure-applying mechanism, like screws that insert through its thickness and are secured in a bar with threaded holes. The adapter is positioned such that the screws bear on and supply pressure to the contact pins. A strip of linear lighting is inserted into a slot beneath the adapter such that the contact pins of the adapter coincide with the solder pads or other electrical contacts of the strip of linear lighting.

A heat-sink assembly is configured with two parts to grip a light-emitting element and produce a transverse force urging a surface of the light-emitting element toward a surface of the heat-sink assembly, which conducts heat away from the light-emitting element. Fastening mechanisms and a fulcrum inter-connect the heat-sink parts and produce the force that grips the light-emitting element. A configuration of the heat-sink parts creates a semi-enclosed space accessible through a gap. A configuration of elastomeric gaskets within the semi-enclosed space protects a portion of the space from intrusion of liquids or other environmental influences. Configuration of the heat-sink parts to form a recess in the heat-sink assembly provides protection of the light-emitting element from mechanical damage, and the recess may contain transparent materials that further protect the light-emitting element from detrimental environmental influences.
