An automatic on/off device for a lamp including a lamp base having a hole, the automatic on/off device comprising a sensing means including a power input end for contacting with a power connection of the lamp to form a circuit for controlling on/off of the lamp, wherein the sensing means has a lower portion and a flange above the lower portion, the flange having an outer diameter greater than a diameter of the hole of the lamp base, the lower portion of the sensing means having an outer diameter smaller than the diameter of the hole of the lamp base, with the sensing means located in the hole of the lamp base and the lower portion of the sensing means exposed outside the lamp base.
An automatic on/off device for a lamp, the automatic on/off device comprising:
- a mounting member to be removably attached to a lamp, with the mounting member having a hole;
- and
- a sensing means mounted in the mounting member and including a power input end for contacting with a power connection of the lamp to form a circuit for controlling on/off of the lamp, wherein the sensing means has a lower portion and a flange above the lower portion, the flange having an outer diameter greater than a diameter of the hole of the mounting member, the lower portion of the sensor having an outer diameter smaller than the diameter of the hole of the mounting member, with the lower portion of the sensing means being exposed through the hole of the mounting member.
An automatic on/off device for a lamp including a fluorescent bulb having two ends each including a base, the automatic on/off device comprising:
- a mounting member to be removably attached to a lamp, wherein the mounting member includes a holding portion -for holding the base of one of the ends of the fluorescent bulb;
- and
- a sensing means mounted in the mounting member and including a power input end for contacting with a power connection of the lamp to form a circuit for controlling on/off of the lamp.
An automatic on/off device for a lamp, the automatic on/off device comprising:
- a mounting member to be removably attached to a lamp, the mounting member having an opening in a side thereof,
- a sensing means mounted in the mounting member and including an integrated circuit board, a control chip mounted on the integrated circuit board, and a sensor mounted in the mounting member and having a portion exposed outside the mounting member, the sensor including a power input end for contacting with a power connection of the lamp to form a circuit for controlling on/off of the lamp under cooperation by the control chip;
- and
- a panel removably mounted to the side of the mounting member for covering the opening, the integrated circuit board being securely mounted to the panel.
