A lamp comprising a base (10) having separate parts (11, 12) which may be brought together around, and to make contact with, an electrical supply cable (13). In the base (10) there is provided one or more LEDs and electrical circuitry, and a solid acrylic rod (18) is mounted in the base to receive light from the or each LED. The total internal reflection within the rod, and the lensing effect of a domed upper end (19) produce a beam of light equivalent to a standard incandescent light bulb but with low power input and increased durability when compared with an incandescent bulb. Several such lamps may be grouped together to form a downlighter, or spaced apart along the supply cable (13) and mounted externally on a building for decoration and display purposes.
A lamp comprising a base containing at least one LED and associated electrical supply circuitry, a translucent rod mounted on and upstanding from the base, and being of a material which causes substantially total internal reflection of light from the or each LED entering a base end of the rod, the opposite end region of the rod being of reducing transverse cross-section and of roughened surface texture.
