A method and system for an area illumination device includes a support channel includes a power supply end, a first coupling end, and a first elongate body extending therebetween. A surface mounting assembly is fixedly coupled to the support channel and is configured to removably engage a first support surface of a plurality of support surfaces. A light arm includes a second coupling end, a fixture end, and a second elongate body extending therebetween. A main joint assembly is operably coupled to the first coupling end and the second coupling end and includes a plurality of degrees of freedom of motion. A light fixture includes a plurality of individual light sources coupled to the fixture end through a fixture joint assembly having at least two degrees of freedom of movement.

A ball joint arranged to couple an attachment part to a base part is provided. The ball joint comprises: a ball associated with said attachment part and provided with a groove having ends; a ball socket formed in the base part and provided with a recess; and a coupling element. The recess and the groove are arranged such that a respective part of a coupling element is allowed to move therein. The combined arrangement of the recess, the groove, and the coupling element allows the ball to move from a first end position to a second end position by a rotational movement of at least 360 degrees. The recess is larger than the part of the coupling element located therein.

A desktop USB-charger related product has space to receive an AC power-wire, USB-charger wire, or another charging related wire(s). The USB-charger related product is arranged to be installed on a desk top at a hand-reachable distance from a user by attachment so that there is no need for the user to bend body or knee in order to charge a device using the charger. The USB-charger related product has at least one USB-port that can supply a desired output-current in the range of from 1.0 A to 12 A and 3.5 VDC to 8.5 VDC by converting input AC power ranging from 110 VAC to 250 VAC. The USB-charger product may also optional to incorporate at least one additional device such as an AC outlet, sensor, motion sensor, remote control, time display, LEDs, other lights, a power fail device, a smell device, an audio device, a video device.

This document describes techniques directed to active thermal-control of a floodlight and associated floodlights. As described, an example floodlight includes a first heat-transfer subsystem that uses a fully enclosed heat sink to transfer heat from an array of LEDs to a first housing component of the floodlight. The floodlight further includes a second heat-transfer subsystem to transfer heat from one or more PSUs to a second housing component of the floodlight. Described techniques include using thermistors located throughout the floodlight to actively monitor a temperature profile within the floodlight and, if one or more operating-temperature thresholds are violated, reducing power consumption within the floodlight.

An electrically powered home security pathway fixture includes a head unit and a spike at a top end and a bottom end of an elongated body, respectively. An integrated camera configured to recognize an approaching object according to features stored in a database; a motion sensor coupled to the integrated camera and a light emitter for illumination which is activated by either: the motion sensor or detected ambient light level being below a threshold. A wireless communications interface configured to send video signals captured by the camera directly to a remote device via the wireless communications interface, after the server/database confirming that the recognized features of the approaching object is not on an approved list.

A lighting device is disclosed in the present disclosure. The lighting device includes a support assembly, an illuminant assembly, and a switch assembly. The illuminant assembly is connected to the support assembly and capable of being rotated to the support assembly. When the illuminant assembly is rotated to a position at which an angle between the illuminant assembly and the support assembly is less than or equal to a first angle threshold, the switch assembly turns to an on-state. In this way, the lighting device has a function of a switch.

A clamping lamp for clamping a monitor comprises a first light source and a clamping body including a second light source, a first clamping component including a first clamping portion and a lamp connection portion, and a second clamping component including a second clamping portion. The lamp connection portion connects with the first clamping portion and the first light source. The first clamping portion leans against a front surface of the monitor and the second clamping portion leans against a back surface of the monitor when the clamping lamp clamps the monitor so the first light source is located above a top surface of the monitor. The first light source emits light toward a first zone that the front surface faces toward. The second light source emits light toward a second zone that the back surface faces toward.

A portable diffused lighting system is disclosed. The lighting system includes a collapsible containment and a light source. The containment includes a perimeter wall, a first end, and a light diffuser, with the first end including the light diffuser, with the containment being disposable in a collapsed configuration and at least one expanded configuration, and with a maximum expanded configuration for the containment providing a maximum spacing of no more than about 4 inches between the light source and the light diffuser. The light source projects within an interior of the collapsible containment, and diffused light is output from the containment through the light diffuser. The lighting system may include a connector for detachably mounting the lighting system to a computer display panel. The lighting system may also include a boom stand, and the noted connector may also detachably mount the containment to the boom stand.
