Abstract

A support accessory is provided for an LED lamp, and the support accessory includes a frame and a supporting leg. The frame is configured to be detachably coupled to the LED lamp, and the supporting leg is configured for supporting the frame on at least one certain support surface when the LED lamp is installed. Wherein, in a first state, the supporting leg is fixed to the frame, and in a second state, the supporting leg is slidably coupled to the frame and can slide relative to the frame to adjust length of the supporting leg between the frame and the at least one certain support surface.

Claims (22)

1. A support accessory for an LED lamp, comprising:

a frame comprising a circular ring and a plurality of position modules extending from the circular ring, wherein the circular ring is configured to be detachably coupled to the LED lamp and wherein the position modules are distributed around the periphery of the circular ring; and

at least one supporting leg for supporting the frame on at least one certain support surface when the LED lamp is installed,

wherein, in a first state, the at least one supporting leg is fixed to the frame, and in a second state, the at least one supporting leg is slidably coupled to the frame and is slidable relative to the frame to adjust a support length of the supporting leg between the frame and the at least one certain support surface.

2. The support accessory according to claim 1 , further comprising a fastener configured to fix the supporting leg relative to the frame in the first state, and unfix the supporting leg from the frame in the second state.

3. The support accessory according to claim 1 , wherein the frame defines a cavity, the supporting leg is partially accommodated in the cavity, in a manner that the supporting leg passes through the cavity when the supporting leg slides relative to the frame.

4. The support accessory according to claim 3 , further comprising a sliding guide at least partially accommodated in the cavity, wherein the supporting leg is slidable along the sliding guide in the second state.

5. The support accessory according to claim 4 , further comprising a fastener extending into the cavity through a first hole of the frame and a second hole of the sliding guide, to press the supporting leg to the frame in the first state, wherein the fastener releases the supporting leg in the second state.

6. The support accessory according to claim 3 , wherein the frame defines a first cavity and a second cavity aligned with each other such that the supporting leg is able to pass through both the first cavity and the second cavity when the supporting leg slides relative to the frame.

7. The support accessory according to claim 3 , wherein the frame defines a first cavity and a second cavity distributed on lateral sides of the frame, respectively, and the supporting leg passes through the first cavity when the supporting leg slides relative to the frame, and wherein the support accessory further comprises an additional supporting leg that passes through the second cavity when the additional supporting leg slides relative to the frame.

8. The support accessory according to claim 1 , wherein the frame is detachably coupled to a free end of the LED lamp near the front cover via at least one clip.

9. The support accessory according to claim 8 , wherein the at least one clip is configured to clamp the LED lamp, and the at least one position module is integrally formed with the frame.

10. The support accessory according to claim 1 , wherein the supporting leg comprises a rubber cushion at an end thereof, for attaching to the at least one certain support surface.

11. A lighting system, comprising

a cover;

a transparent or translucent lens;

an LED lamp coupled to the cover and accommodated in an inner cavity defined by the cover and the lens; and

a support accessory coupled to the LED lamp and configured to hold the LED lamp, the support accessory comprising:

a frame comprising a circular ring and a plurality of position modules extending from the circular ring, wherein the circular ring is configured to be detachably coupled to the LED lamp and wherein the position modules are distributed around the periphery of the circular ring; and

at least one supporting leg for supporting the frame on at least one certain support surface when the LED lamp is installed,

wherein, in a first state, the at least one supporting leg is fixed to the frame, and in a second state, the at least one supporting leg is slidably coupled to the frame and is slidable relative to the frame to adjust a support length of the supporting leg between the frame and the at least one certain support surface.

12. The lighting system according to claim 11 , wherein the supporting leg is configured to hold the LED lamp on the at least one certain support surface of at least one of the cover and the lens.
