A beam shaping accessories mechanically affixed to the LED lamp. The lens is designed to adapt to a first fixture that is mechanically attached to the lens. Accessories are designed to have a second fixture for mating to the first fixture such that the first fixture and the second fixture are configured to produce a retaining force between the first accessory and the lens. The retaining force is a mechanical force that is accomplished by mechanical mating of mechanical fixtures, or the retaining force is a magnetic force and is accomplished by magnetic fixtures configured to have attracting magnetic forces. In some embodiments, the accessory is treated to modulate an emanated light pattern (e.g., a rectangular, or square, or oval, or circular or diffused emanated light pattern). A USB connector is also provided. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An accessory for an LED lamp having a housing, a connector, and an electronic component, comprising: at least one electronic element, said at least one electronic element being configured to facilitate communication to at least another lamp, and being configured for wireless communication with a remote controller; and a mounting member configured to be releasably coupled to said a connector within said a housing of said LED lamp and electrically couple said at least one electronic element with said an electronic component of said LED lamp, wherein said electronic component is at least one of a microprocessor, readable storage, power supply, and power conditioning circuitry. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The accessory of claim 1, wherein said at least one electronic element is a sensor. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The accessory of claim 2, Wherein said sensor is one of a motion sensor, occupancy sensor and a light sensor. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The accessory of claim 1, wherein said at least one electronic element is a camera. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The accessory of claim 1, wherein said at least one electronic element is a microprocessor. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The accessory of claim 1, wherein said at least one electronic element is a networking module. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The accessory of claim 6, wherein said networking module is configured for wireless communication. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The accessory of claim 1, where said at least one electronic element comprises readable storage configured to store operational data of said LED lamp. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The accessory of claim 1, wherein said accessory is a slave device or a master device. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The accessory of claim 1, wherein said mounting member comprises a magnet. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The accessory of claim 1, wherein said accessory is a USB device. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The accessory of claim 1, wherein said electronic component is at least one of a microprocessor, readable storage, power supply, and power conditioning circuitry. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The accessory of claim 1, wherein said at least one electronic element is configured to facilitate communication to at least another lamp or a central computer for lamp monitoring and control. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The accessory of claim 1, wherein said at least one electronic element is configured to communicate with an electronic element of an accessory of a second LED lamp. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The accessory of claim 1, wherein said mounting member is removably coupled to said connector. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The accessory of claim 1, wherein said at least one electronic element receives power from said electronic component. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The accessory of claim 1, wherein said connector is within a lens of said LED lamp. ### Claim 18 (depends on 1) The accessory of claim 1, wherein said at least one electrical element comprises a first electrical element and a second electrical element. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The accessory of claim 18, wherein said first electrical element and said second electrical element are each one of a sensor, camera, microprocessor, networking module and a readable memory.
