Light bulb with automated emergency operation

摘要

A self cooling light effects device for use in a standard light bulb socket having a socket adaptor, surface embedded LEDs as means to generate light effects, means to control light effects, and means for cooling. Fiber optic cables provide further light effects. Means to control 5 light effects may include a logic board. Means for cooling may be any combination of fans, heat sinks, heat pipes, thermoelectric cooling, a heat conductive filler, and a heat conductive housing.

主权项

1. A lighting device adapted to be removably coupled to a light bulb socket, the lighting device comprising:
a housing defining an upper portion and a lower portion, the lower portion including an adaptor to enable the removable coupling of the lighting device with the light bulb socket, wherein the housing includes a fan to remove heat from within the housing and to exchange heated air from within the housing with cooler air from outside of the housing, and wherein the housing includes an aperture to transfer heat from within the housing; a lighting source coupled to the housing, the lighting source including a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) and a plurality of fiber optic cables, the plurality of fiber optic cables being disposed within the housing; and a logic board coupled to the lighting source and disposed within the lower portion of the housing, the logic board to execute at least one light effects program to control the lighting source, the logic board to control the activation of each of the plurality of LEDs and each of the plurality of fiber optic cables, and the logic board to detect an emergency condition and to drive the lighting source to provide emergency lighting.
