Abstract
A lighting fixture is disclosed to include a light guide bar, a connector holding a LED at a first end of the light guide bar, and a first reflector and a second reflector respectively covered on a part of the periphery and a second end of the light guide bar to reflect light from the LED out of the light guide bar. The connector has a barrel at the first end thereof that accommodates one end of the light guide bar and the LED, an accommodation space at the second end that accommodates electronic components, and a detoured wire path that guides electric wires of the LED out of the connector and prevents disconnection of the electric wires from the LED. A second LED may be attached to the second end of the light guide bar to substitute for the second reflector.
Claims8
A lighting fixture comprising:
- a light guide bar made of a light transmissive and light guiding material;
- said light guide bar having an axially extending length, a first end, a second end, and a peripheral surface;
- first reflector means bonded to a part of the peripheral surface of said light guide bar;
- socket means made of an opaque material and affixed to the first end of said light guide bar, said socket means having a through hole through two distal ends thereof;
- a light emitting device mounted inside the through hole of said socket means;
- and
- a connector fastened to the first end of said light guide bar and holding said socket means and said light emitting device on the inside, said connector comprising:
- a body, said body having an accommodation space surrounded by side and bottom walls thereof, a first end, a second end, a notch on said first end, a first partition board and a second partition board arranged in parallel inside said accommodation space, said first partition board and said second partition board each having a fixed end respectively connected to two opposite inner surfaces of said body within said accommodation space and a free end respectively spaced from the two opposite inner surfaces of said body at a distance, said first partition board, said second partition board and said first end of said body defining two symmetrical L-shaped channels,
- a barrel perpendicularly extended from a bottom side of said second end of said body, said barrel having a longitudinal inside hole extending to a free end thereof that accommodates the first end of said light guide bar and said socket means, and at least one wire hole in communication with said accommodation space for the passing of electric wires from said light emitting device to the outside of said body via said notch,
- a cover for closing the accommodation space of said body, and
- flexible connecting strips connected between one side of said body and one side of said cover.
