Abstract
A light-emitting-diode (LED) lamp includes a control circuit board having a control circuit and a plurality of insertion holes provided thereon; a plurality of LED units, each of which including a circuit board, a plurality of LEDs mounted on the circuit board, and terminals provided at an end of the circuit board for plugging into the insertion holes on the control circuit board to thereby electrically assemble the LED unit to the control circuit board; and a glass bulb or tube for receiving the assembled control circuit board and LED units to complete the LED lamp that can be mounted to a general lamp holder. When electricity is supplied to the LED lamp, the LEDs are driven by the control circuit to emit light for illumination. The number of LED units and of the LEDs may be adjusted according to desired illuminance.
Claims3
A light-emitting-diode (LED) lamp, comprising:
- at least one control circuit board transversely disposed at a longitudinal end of the lamp, the control circuit board having provided thereon a control circuit and a plurality of insertion holes electrically connected to the control circuit;
- a plurality of LED units being assembled to the control circuit board;
- each of the LED units including a circuit board, a plurality of LEDs mounted on the circuit board, and terminals provided on at least one end of the circuit board for plugging into the insertion holes on the at least one control circuit board;
- the circuit boards of the LED units being detachably coupled to the control circuit board with the LEDs electrically connected to the control circuit, the circuit boards thereby defining a reconfigurable frame structure projecting longitudinally from the control circuit board;
- and
- a glass bulb or tube for receiving the assembled control circuit board and LED units therein and mounting to a general lamp holder;
- whereby when the glass bulb or tube is mounted to a lamp holder and an amount of commercial power is supplied thereto, the LEDs are driven by the control circuit to emit light for illumination.
