Wall or picture frame mounted illumination device using light emitting diodes

A wall or picture frame mounted, cordless illuminating device comprising:

• a tubular stem having a first end and a second end;
• a mounting bracket being formed with a first and second part;
• said first part adjustably receiving said first end of said tubular stem and said second part being removably mounted to a picture frame or a wall;
• and an elongated shade having a mid-section adjustably mounted to said second end of said tubular stem;
• said shade having a semicircular cross-section;
• said shade houses means for removably mounting at least one fluorescent light tube and a source of direct current on either side of a vertical plane cut through the ends of the semicircular shade, said shade further housing an electronic circuit for converting direct current from the power source to the appropriate current needed for powering the LED or array of LEDs or light tube with LEDs, said means for mounting said LED or array of LEDs or light tube with LEDs light tube being positioned within said shade relative to said source of direct current so that a plane which contains the mid-section of said source of direct current and the mid-section of said LED or array of LEDs or light tube with LEDs light tube makes an angle of at least ten degrees but not more than one hundred and seventy degrees, in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction with the vertical plane.
