Abstract
A light for use with computers containing one or more light emitting diodes on one or more flexible necks which is powered via the computers USB or IEEE 1394 port. An auxiliary USB or IEEE 1394 port may be combined with the plug-in light to allow for additional devices top be connected through the same port powering the light.
Claims20
A computer light comprising:
- a light-emitting diode;
- a malejack which mates with a USB or IEEE 1394 port;
- two long conductive lead wires each affixed at one end to either the anode or cathode of the light-emitting diode and at the other end to the appropriate contact on the malejack;
- and,
- a flexible support member to which said light-emitting diode and said long conductive lead wires and said malejack are affixed;
The computer light of claim 6, wherein the current limiting circuitry is at least one resistor placed in the circuit.
A computer light comprising:
- Two pairs of long conductive lead wires,
- two or more light-emitting diodes, each conductively linked to one pair of said long conductive lead wires;
- two or more flexible support member each of which supports on light-emitting diode and long conductive lead wire;
- and,
- a male jack which mates with a USB or IEEE 1394 port at one end, and which is conductively attached to both pairs of long conductive lead wires and flexible members at the other end.
The computer light of claim 16, wherein the current limiting circuitry is at least one resistor placed in the circuit.
A computer light comprising:
- a connector body;
- a male jack which mates with a USB or IEEE 1394 port extending from the connector body;
- an elongated flexible support member affixed at one end to the connector body and with a second end;
- a LED receiving head affixed to, or formed as part of the second end of the flexible neck;
- a light-emitting diode with an anode and cathode lead wire mounted within the LED receiving head;
- two long conductive lead wires each affixed at one end to either the anode or cathode of the light-emitting diode and attached at the other end to the appropriate contact on the male jack;
- said conductive lead wires each support by the flexible support;
- and,
- a resistor interposed between the light emitting diode and the male jack;
- and,
- an on/off switch interposed between the male jack and the light emitting diode.
