An LED light module comprises an emitting portion; at least one LED package; a back cover; and an end cap. The emitting portion defines a first curved surface. The first curved surface extends a first length along a cylindrical axis defined by the LED light module. The back cover defines a second curved surface extending the first length along the cylindrical axis. The first curved surface and the second curved surface define a perimeter of the LED light module. In a cross-section of the LED light module taken in a plane substantially perpendicular to the cylindrical axis, the perimeter is substantially ovular, elliptical and/or tear-drop shaped. The end cap is substantially ovular, elliptical and/or tear-drop shaped, and comprises a coupling element configured to electrically and/or mechanically couple the LED light module to a subsequent LED light module or to a fixture.

An area light is provided including a housing defining a central axis having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a side portion; a cover mounted on the first end of the housing; a light module disposed on the first end of the housing, the light module comprising a heat sink and at least one light-emitting diode (LED) to emit light through the cover and in a direction that extends 360 degrees around the center axis; and a battery receptacle disposed on the side portion of the housing to receive a removable battery pack and supply electric power form the removable battery pack to the at least one LED. At least one hook is provided on or adjacent the first end of the housing.

An apparatus, system, and method for lighting effects, including simulating a flame. A three dimensional carrier includes an array of a plurality of light sources distributed on it. A control circuit coordinates on/off of the light sources in a manner to simulate a jumping flame. In one embodiment, the three dimensional carrier and LEDs are encapsulated in an at least partially light transmissive cover. This light modular engine includes a control circuit and an interface to electrical power. The system can include the light engine in a light fixture such as an architectural fixture. The methodology can include a sequence of on/off and brightness variations for the array of light sources.

A lamp includes at least two illumination parts and a lamp body. The lamp body has an upper portion, a lower portion corresponding to the upper portion and at least two optical cavities extended between the upper portion and the lower portion. The illumination parts are respectively arranged in the optical cavities. The lamp has a surrounding lighting state and a side lighting state. The lighting states of the lamp may be switched between the surrounding lighting state and the side lighting state through controlling the operating modes of the illumination parts in the optical cavities respectively.

An LED retrofit lamp includes a centering ring with alignment features, which define: a mounting position of the lamp within a vehicle reflector, a reference axis, a reference direction along the reference axis from a base to a top end of the lamp, and a tolerance box intersecting the reference axis and extending axially along the reference direction from a tolerance box base-side end to a tolerance box top-side end. The lamp also includes an arrangement that emits light transversal to the reference axis and has a light-emitting area that extends axially from an LED base-side end to an LED top-side end. The LED base-side end has an axial distance of at least 0.1 mm from the tolerance box base-side end in the reference direction, and the LED top-side end has an axial distance of at most 1.5 mm from the tolerance box top-side end in the reference direction.

A light body connecting structure, a light body and a string light are provided. The light body connecting structure includes a wiring terminal and a wire. The wiring terminal includes a terminal body and at least one wiring plug. At least one mounting groove is defined on the terminal body for accommodating the at least one wiring plug. The terminal body is detachably connected to the lampshade. When the terminal body is to be connected to the lampshade, the at least one wiring plug is aligned with the opening of the lampshade. When the light body connecting structure is connected to the lampshade, the at least one wiring plug is disposed outside the opening and aligns with the opening, so a length of the light body is allowed to be long and light emitted by the light body is bright and uniform.

A light body connecting structure, a light group, and an assembling method of the light group are provided. The light body connecting structure includes a wiring terminal electrically connected with a light body and a wire. The wiring terminal includes a terminal body and a plug assembly. The terminal body is matched with any opening of a lampshade. The plug assembly is connected with a first end of the terminal body. One end of the wire passes through a second end of the terminal body and is electrically connected with the plug assembly. The plug assembly is connected with the terminal body, so that the plug assembly is connectable to lampshades of different sizes, and the light body connecting structure is adapted and mounted with a light body in any of the lampshades, which is versatile and reduces production cost.

Light, heat, gas exchange, and water motion are all required elements to sustain aquatic photosynthetic organisms. Rather than providing separate systems, a flux of photons appropriate for photosynthetic organisms, including algae, is dispersed throughout the surrounding water. A gas source performs water movement and circulation by acting as an airlift pump while performing a liquid-gas mass transfer. Finally, heat is added to the surrounding liquid by a heat source or the light source, which increases the rate at which microorganisms grow and improve efficiencies. By combining these necessary components for aquatic life support, efficiencies are increased, costs are saved, and photosynthetic organism growth is regulated.
