Abstract

A multiple surface LED light has at least a first surface on which LED elements are arranged to provide an illumination function and at least one other surface arranged to provide other desired functions, performances, and/or features. The said LED light has a frame or housing, and an opening that allows the exposed one of the first and other r surfaces to be changed when external force is applied to the LED light.

Claims (10)

1. A multiple surface LED light, comprising:

a rotatable member having a first surface and at least one other surface, one of the first surface and the other surface being exposed to a user while the other surface is hidden from the user by a surface of another object or structure in which the rotatable member is rotatably mounted, wherein when the first surface is exposed and the other surface is hidden, rotation of the rotatable member upon application of an external force causes the other surface to be exposed and the first surface to be hidden,

wherein the first surface includes at least one LED element arranged to emit light beams according to a predetermined function, output, color, effects, and performance;

wherein the other surface includes at least one of the following devices: an electrical power outlet; adaptor; hub; USB socket; memory storage socket; memory stick socket; memory card socket; internet socket; interface card socket; additional light source; sound device; sensor device; alarm device, time related device; digital electrical device or processor; and digital data equipment; and

means for rotatably mounting the rotatable member in a frame, support, or housing, the frame, support, or housing being fixed or held in a surface of said another object or structure selected from a desk, wall, ceiling, bar, tube, fence, closet, cabinet, power strip, extension cord, light fixture, light bar, door, window, rack, and electrical device for indoor or outdoor use,

whereby rotation of the rotatable member with multiple surfaces enables the LED light to offer lighting and additional functions in the exposed area occupied by just one said surface.

2. A multiple surface LED light as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a number of said at least one other surface is at least two said other surfaces.

3. A multiple surface LED light as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said first surface has an arrangement of multiple LED elements.

4. A multiple surface LED light as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the light device is mounted in a housing of a main object selected from a light fixture, light set, light device, and power strip to form a finished product.

5. A multiple surface LED light as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the LED light incorporates means for supplying electrical signals to said at least one LED element to cause it to turn on and off to provide predetermined said effects and performance.
