Light bulb base connector
A light fixture having a bulb base connector limited to a DC supply with 10-30 volt DC power. The connector assembly utilizes threading, friction and/or detent connection for connecting a lightbulb assembly to the light fixture in vehicles. A dual threading system and a barrel connector are configured to connect the lightbulb to the light fixture and to supply power from the fixture to the light bulb. The system uses a unique bulb base and connector to adapt to preexisting fixtures.
1. A light fixture assembly comprising:
a lightbulb assembly comprising:
an outer housing comprising a base portion;
a protruded connection portion extending away from the base portion, wherein the protruded connection portion includes a threaded circumference;
an opening in the outer housing aligned with the protruded connection portion;
a first electrical connection component positioned adjacent to the opening in the outer housing; and
a light circuit board positioned adjacent to the first electrical connection component, wherein the light circuit board includes one or more light sources disposed about the circuit board; and
wherein the threaded circumference of the protruded connection portion is configured to engage a first threaded portion of an interconnecting component, wherein the interconnecting component further includes a second threaded portion to connect the lightbulb assembly to a fixture;
wherein the interconnecting component includes a second electrical connection component disposed therein, wherein the second electrical connection component is configured to connect to the first electrical connection component;
wherein the first and second electrical connection components comprise a male and female barrel connector.
2. The light fixture assembly of claim 1 , wherein the male barrel connector is disposed within an opening in the interconnecting component.
3. The light fixture assembly of claim 1 , wherein the one or more light sources comprise one or more LEDs.
4. The light fixture assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a locking nut, wherein the locking nut is connected to the second threaded portion of the interconnecting component.
5. The light fixture assembly of claim 1 further comprising one or more heat sinks disposed adjacent to the light circuit board.
6. The light fixture assembly of claim 1 , wherein the interconnecting component includes two or more central bores extending therethrough, and wherein the two or more bores have different diameters.
7. The light fixture assembly of claim 1 , wherein the opening in the outer housing is positioned at a center of the protruded connection portion.
8. The light fixture assembly of claim 1 further comprising a shade connected to the lightbulb assembly.
9. The light fixture assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first electrical connection component is configured to receive a DC voltage connection between 10 and 30 volts DC.
