Screw-in LED light and sound bulb
View Patent ↗A combination light and sound producing fixture and combination screw-in light with speakers element is disclosed where the fixture is installed in a wall or ceiling or on a wall or ceiling. The light bulb/speaker can be screwed or secured into a standard light bulb socket. The sound producing elements is a coaxial arrangement of speakers having a low frequency transducer and one or more high frequency transducers that can be directed to emit sound in a particular direction. The fixture or bulb may further include digital signal processing to modify the sound to account for obstructions in or near the fixture. The surface of the sound transducer can be reflective in nature to provide focusing or diffusion of the light from the lighting elements. The lighting elements are incandescent, fluorescent or low voltage LED type that may include adjustment for lighting intensity and color.
1. A combination speaker lighting bulb comprising:
at least one low voltage light emitting illumination element, in combination with at least one sound emitting element;
a bugle-head light reflecting element that reflects light from said at least one light emitting illumination element onto an outer exterior surface of said bugle-head light reflector into a plurality of directions;
an electrical connector configured for engage into a lighting socket, wherein
said electrical connector provides power to said at least one low voltage illumination element and said at least one sound emitting element.
2. The combination speaker lighting bulb according to claim 1 wherein said bugle-head reflector has an opening at the apex of said bugle-head reflector.
3. The combination speaker lighting bulb according to claim 2 that further includes a horn that reflects illumination emitted through said opening.
4. The combination speaker lighting bulb according to claim 1 wherein said at least one light low voltage illumination element is configured proximate to said electrical connector to shine light from said electrical connector onto said light reflecting element.
5. The combination speaker lighting bulb according to claim 1 that further includes a digital signal processor to at least partially modulate a signal to said at least one sound emitting element.
6. The combination speaker lighting bulb according to claim 1 that further includes a wireless receiver to receive a wireless signal that is transmitted through said at least one sound emitting element.
7. A combination speaker lighting bulb comprising:
an electrical base configured for insertion into a standard illumination base;
a housing secured to said electrical base providing a structural support to a lamp shade;
a power conversion circuit for converting electrical power from said electrical base into voltage to power at least one illumination element, a signal processor, an amplifier and at least one sound emitting element, wherein
said signal processor at least partially modulates a signal to said sound emitting element.
8. The combination speaker lighting bulb according to claim 7 in which a plurality of sound emitting elements are utilized.
9. The combination speaker lighting bulb according to claim 7 that further includes a wireless receiver to receive said signal that is transmitted out of said at least one sound emitting element.
10. The combination speaker lighting bulb according to claim 7 that further includes a wireless receiver to receive a wireless signal that is transmitted through said at least one sound emitting element.
11. A combination speaker lighting bulb comprising:
an electrical base configured for insertion into a standard illumination base;
a housing having a back end secured to said electrical base providing a structure to support at least one illumination element and at least one sound producing element;
said housing having a front end with said at least one sound producing element;
a digital signal processor at least partially modulating a signal to said at least one sound emitting element, and
said front end further having at least one light producing element located in front of said at least one sound producing element.
12. The combination speaker lighting bulb from claim 11 wherein said at least one illumination element is secured to said housing with a connection mechanism that spans above said at least one sound producing element.
13. The combination speaker lighting bulb from claim 12 wherein said securing to said housing spans across the sides of said housing and over said at least one sound producing element.
14. The combination speaker lighting bulb from claim 13 wherein said securing further includes a heat sink.
15. The combination speaker lighting bulb from claim 11 wherein said at least one light producing element is a cluster LED.
16. The combination speaker lighting bulb according to claim 11 in which said electrical base is an intermittent, medium, candelabra, bayonet or a pin type base.
17. The combination speaker lighting bulb according to claim 11 that further includes a wireless receiver to receive a signal that is transmitted out of said at least one sound emitting element.
18. The combination speaker lighting bulb according to claim 11 wherein said at least one sound producing element is mechanically adjustable to change a direction of sound transmission.
