Abstract

Desk top items with LEDs also include USB-unit(s) or USB-module(s) and, optionally, additional outlet-units, to supply power to other electric or digital devices such as a smart phone or digital data device.

Claims (51)

1. A non-portable desktop LED reading light, comprising:

at least one USB unit to supply electric current to other products;

at least one LED assembly having an arrangement of a plurality of LEDs controlled by at least one integrated circuit, conductor, or switch to control color and brightness for providing reading illumination from on top of an adjustable arm; and

a device included in said non-portable desktop LED reading light that is, or is configured to perform, at least one:

(1) area illumination,

(2) a charging status signal,

(3) an airflow function,

(4) an LED time display by LED segments,

(5) an image display or projection,

(6) a timepiece,

(7) an LED candle set, and

(8) a night light,

wherein the more than one USB-unit fits within the desk top LED light and includes circuitry for converting an input DC from a transformer into at least one USB charging output current of not less than 1.0 A and a voltage of 5V to charge the other products, and

wherein the at least one USB unit is configured to be fixed on a back, contour, or arm of the desk top LED light.

2. A non-portable desktop item, comprising:

at least one USB charger having at least one USB charging-port to charge at least one other electric or digital device;

at least one LED assembly having an arrangement of a plurality of LEDs for providing reading illumination from on top of an adjustable arm and

a device included in said non-portable desktop LED reading light that is, or is configured to perform, at least one of:

(1) area illumination,

(2) a charging status signal,

(3) a message display,

(4) a lighted image,

(5) an image display or projection,

(6) a timepiece,

(7) a weather station display,

(8) an integrated circuit controller for the at least one LED assembly, and

(9) a night light; and

at least one of an integrated circuit, conductor switch, or sensor for controlling at least one of a function, brightness and color of the plurality of LEDs,

wherein the USB charger fits within a desktop item housing and is powered by at least one of (a) an external AC-to-DC transformer, and (b) an external DC power source through a USB wire.

3. A non-portable desktop item, comprising:

at least one built-in USB unit or USB module having at least one USB charging port to charge at least one other electric or digital device;

at least one LED assembly having an arrangement of a plurality of LEDs for providing (A) at least one of an image, message, time; projection and display function, and (B) at least one of the following functions:

(1) area illumination,

(2) a charging status signal,

(3) a message display,

(4) a lighted image display,

(5) an image display or projection,

(6) a timepiece,

(7) at least one electric candle function, and

(8) a night light; and

at least one integrated circuit for controlling, setting, selecting, or adjusting (a) at least one of a brightness and color of at least one of the LEDs, (b) a switch or sensor system, or (c) one of said functions.

4. A non-portable desktop LED light as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the LED light further includes at least one battery or batteries power to operate the timepiece during a power failure.

5. A non-portable desktop item as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the LED light further includes at least one battery or batteries power to operate the timepiece or a clock during a power failure.

6. A non-portable desktop item as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the LED light further includes at least one battery or batteries power to operate the timepiece or a clock during a power failure.

7. A non-portable desktop LED light as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising one of a quick connector, adaptor, wire, USB wire assembly device and fixing device for enabling the at least one USB unit or USB module to be disassembled from the a housing of the desktop LED light and assembled back to the housing.

8. A non-portable desktop LED item as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising one of a quick connector, adaptor, wire, USB wire assembly device and fixing device for enabling the at least one USB charger to be disassembled from the a housing of the desktop LED light and assembled back to the housing.

9. A non-portable desktop LED item as claimed in claim 3 , further comprising one of a quick connector, adaptor, wire, USB wire assembly device and fixing device for enabling the at least one built-in USB unit or USB module to be disassembled from the a housing of the desktop LED light and assembled back to the housing.

10. A non-portable desktop LED light as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a DC voltage for at least one of (1) said plurality of LEDs, and (2) a trigger system, is different than a DC voltage for USB charging.

11. A non-portable desktop LED light as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the LED light includes LEDs for at least one of an LED reading light, LED night light, and LED accent light.

12. A non-portable desktop item as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the LED light includes LEDs for at least one of an LED reading light, LED night light, and LED accent light.

13. A non-portable desktop item as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the LED light includes LEDs for at least one of an LED reading light, LED night light, and LED accent light.
