(44) The LED night-light has a bulb receiving-socket (80) to accept the conventional bulb base (81), which may selected from a screw type (81), pin type (not shown), rivet type (not shown), or knob type (not shown). The LED-bulb (13) has built-in circuit to change the original LED-light prong input-end AC electric signal to an LED's DC electric current while the LED bulb base (81) assembled with receiving-socket (80). The, the LED bulb (13) turn-on the LED(s) to exhibit predetermined function, duration, time, and/or brightness and light effects.
(45) As shown in
(46) At the same time, while prong (3200) (3200′) are connected with the wall outlet power source, the bulb socket (80) also will receive the wall outlet AC power source electric signal, which in the USA is around 110 Volt, 60 Hz to turn on the said built-in or added-on LED bulb.
(47) On the other hand, specially designed LED bulb device (13) has a built-in circuit to change the wall outlet power source of 110V AC, 60 Hz to the working voltage and frequency of the circuit and LED(s) with desired control-kits such as a photo sensor, PIR sensor, manual switch, or other control available in the marketplace to turn on LED(s) according to pre-determined functions, brightness, duration, and time.
(48) The LED bulb (13) fits into or built-into or assembled with the bulb socket (80). The LED bulb (13) has a screw-thread base (81) may be but is not limited to a screw type base as shown in
(49) The AC from the LED-Bulb (13) base outside two electric contactors (83) (82) supply LED-Bulb (13) inner circuit-board (81′) and changes AC from home appliance electric current to LED working DC and turns on LEDs (85) for single color or multiple colors to provide a desired light performance. The LED (85) is located on circuit board (81′) and connected with circuitry (81′) and circuitry connect with the bulb-base electric-terminals (82) (83) by conventional conductive-piece in circuit board (81′). The electric components (88) (85) installed on the circuit board (81′) or connected by conductive-piece (87) (84) away from the circuit board (81′) because some components may be too big and unable to fit within the bulb base (81). The circuit board (81′) is a narrow elongated board inserted into the bulb base (81), which is different with the prior art U.S. Pat. No. 6,227,679 (Zhang et al.) issued on May 8, 2001. The Zhang discloses a circuit board located on the top of the base, in a vertical relation to the circuit board and base. Also, in the arrangement of Zhang, the LEDs are not located on one side of the circuit board but rather are applied on the circuit board with a certain angle to the circuit board surface. This is because Zhang does not realize that the distance between the LED tip and the top cover is way too close and it is impossible to eliminate the spot-light problem of an LED light beam therefore cannot get a good light performance on the bulb surface. The current invention uses the invention described in one of the co-pending applications listed above, of an LED night light with more than one optics-lens, to make the spot-light beam into an area-light by first optics-lens. By adding a second optics-lens, the light beams brightness will be very close at every point on the desired area or surface.
(50) As shown in
(51) This arrangement solves the problem with the arrangement disclosed in the Zhang patent cited above that there is not enough space in a night light having the most popular dimensions to achieve a good area lighting effect. The most popular night light length is around 88 mm+/−50 mm (with base). The lens height is around 60 mm+/−30 mm (without base). The distance from the wall outlet cover to the highest point of the night light edge is around 35 mm+/−15 mm (from outlet cover surface). If placed in the same location as the existing bulb night light, the distance from the bulb socket to the wall outlet surface will be less than 35 mm. This distance from the wall to outside of the lens will only be less than 35 mm+/−15 mm. It is too short to change the spot-light effect of the LEDs into a surface or area lighting effect. Hereof, The Multiple functions LED night light have LED illumination function and also have at least one of below list additional-functions including: (xviii) air freshener, fragrance refill piece, liquid or wax fragrance or de-order piece as [
(52) From above discussed and mentioned of preferred embodiments to show the scope of the current invention, it is appreciated that any alternative or equivalent functions of design still within the scope of the invention but not limited to all above discussion and mentioned details. The alternative or equivalent arrangement, process, installation or the like design, changes from the current invention still fall within the scope of the current invention.
