Abstract
An inspection lamp includes a housing with an external opening providing access to a socket having an electrical contact, an interchangeable light source module including a tab adapted to be inserted into the opening and received into the socket, the tab including a mating electrical contact for making an electrical connection with the electrical contact of the socket, the light source module including at least one light emitting diode, and a switch for controlling the light emitted by the light source module.
Claims13
An inspection lamp, comprising:
- a housing including an external opening providing access to a socket having an electrical contact;
- an interchangeable light source module including a tab adapted to be inserted into the opening and received into the socket, the tab including a mating electrical contact for making an electrical connection with the electrical contact of the socket, the light source module including at least one light emitting diode;
- and
- a switch for controlling the light emitted by the light source module.

An inspection lamp, comprising:
- an elongate housing;
- an external opening disposed at an end of the housing, the external slot providing access to
- a corresponding electrical socket;
- a reflector mounted in the housing adjacent to the socket;
- and
- an interchangeable light source module insertable through the external slot and engageable with the electrical socket, the light source module including a light source, a tab adapted for receipt in the socket so as to make an electrical connection between a contact in the socket and a mating contact on the tab, and circuitry interconnecting the light source to the contact on the tab;
- wherein light emitted by the light source is reflected by the reflector and emitted from an opening in the housing.
4 more elements
An inspection lamp kit comprising :
- an inspection lamp including a housing, the housing having a reflector, an opening, and slot providing access to a socket including an electrical contact;
- a first light source module including one or more light emitting diodes that emit light in a first wavelength range and circuitry interconnecting the light emitting diodes to an electrical contact on a tab adapted to be removably received in the socket;
- and a second light source module including one or more light emitting diodes that emit light in a second wavelength range that is different from the first wavelength range and circuitry interconnecting the light emitting diodes to an electrical contact on a tab adapted to be removably received in the socket;
- wherein when one or the other of the first light source module and the second light source module is mounted in the lamp via the slot with the tab removably received in the socket, light emitted by said light source module is directed by the reflector toward the opening in the housing;
- and
- wherein the light source modules are interchangeable in the lamp socket so as to allow for changing the light wavelength range emitted by the lamp by switching the light source modules.
