Electrical device for end user control of electrical power and lighting characteristics

Abstract

This disclosure is an electronic machine, used in standard electrical lamps and lighting fixtures that operate on AC voltage. Installed between the lamp fixture and the standard incandescent/halogen light bulbs that are normally installed into it, the device performs its function of providing user control of the light generation process. By selecting the similarity/dissimilarity of the wattage of each plural light bulbs that are installed into the device, the user has the ability to modify the operational characteristics of the light bulbs, between either improved energy efficiency/light quality and whiteness, or extended light bulb life/lighting coloration. Also, the device extends the amount of time it takes to turn-on the light bulbs' filaments, providing additional extension of the light bulbs' life expectancy.
