Abstract

A device having built-in digital data means is powered by an unlimited power source for a lamp-holder, LED bulb, or light device connected to unlimited power source by prongs or a base that can be inserted into a socket that would otherwise receiving a bulb. The device may take the form of a webcam having auto tracking functions and retractable prongs that plug directly into a wall outlet.

Claims (22)

1. A security light having a built-in digital data device powered by a power source that continuously supplies power to the digital data device, said security light including a light device, wherein:

said digital data device includes at least one camera having means for capturing images, data, or sound at a desired shooting angle, resolution, color, brightness, and sharpness, and at least one storing means for storing the images, data, or sound into a memory or storage unit for transmission of the images, data, or sound by a transmitter to at least one of a communication device, computer device, phone, receiver device, and display device, or for display or replay of the images, data, or sound by the digital data device itself,

said light device includes a housing and means for emitting visible light beams, and said light device is supplied with power from said power source by circuitry including at least one of a controller, switch, sensor, conductors, integrated circuit, remote controller, and wireless communication means, and

said security light is one of a battery-powered light device, an AC-powered hanging light device, an AC-powered plug-in light device, and a security light having additional functions of a night light, a desk lamp, a floor lamp, a ceiling light, a track light, a projection light, an outdoor light, an indoor light, an LED light fixture, an LED light bar, an LED picture light, an LED closet light, an LED door light, an LED garage light, an LED motion sensor light, an LED power failure light, an LED light with auto tracking, an LED patio light, and an LED light device, and

said security light is connected with the power source by one of prongs, a conductive wire, a conductive wire with a plug extending from the light device, a USB adaptor, a transformer device, and an inductor device.

2. A security light as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said security light includes an insert forming a lamp holder with a socket, said insert being arranged to be inserted into an existing light fixture.

3. A security light as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said light device has at least one non-lighting function in addition to a lighting function.

4. A security light as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the light device includes a compartment for extendably, retractably, foldably, or transformably installing accessories that provide said at least one non-lighting function.

5. A security light as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said digital data means include sensor means having more than one sensor head and an integrated circuit for controlling an auto tracking assembly that enables the camera to track moving objects or persons.

6. A security light as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said device includes multiple cameras for capturing images of different locations.

7. A security light as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said power source is an electrical utility power supply system for supplying electricity to homes, residences, and businesses.

8. A garden light having a built-in digital data device powered by a power source that continuously supplies power to the digital data device, said security light including a light device, wherein:

said digital data device includes at least one camera having means for capturing images, data, or sound at a desired shooting angle, resolution, color, brightness, and sharpness, and at least storing means for storing images, data, or sound into a memory or storage unit for transmission of the images, data, or sound by a transmittter to at least one of a communication device, computer device, phone, receiver device, and display device, or for display or replay of the images, data, or sound by the digital data device itself,

said light device includes a housing and means for emitting visible light beams, and said light device is supplied with power from said power source by circuitry including at least one of a controller, switch, sensor, conductors, integrated circuit, remote controller, and wireless communication means,

said garden light is one of a low-voltage garden light, AC powered garden light, DC powered garden light, solar powered garden light, and wind powered garden light, and

said garden light is connected with the power source by one of prongs, a conductive wire, a conductive wire with a plug extending from the light device, a USB adaptor, a transformer device, and an inductor device.

9. A garden light as claimed in claim 8 , wherein said garden light includes an insert forming a lamp holder with a socket, said insert being arranged to be inserted into an existing light fixture.

10. A garden light as claimed in claim 8 , wherein said light device has at least one non-lighting function in addition to a lighting function.

11. A garden light as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the light device includes a compartment for extendably, retractably, foldably, or transformably installing accessories that provide said at least one non-lighting function.

12. A garden light as claimed in claim 8 , wherein said digital data means include sensor means having more than one sensor head and an integrated circuit for controlling an auto tracking assembly that enables the camera to track moving objects or persons.

13. A garden light as claimed in claim 8 , wherein said device includes multiple cameras for capturing images of different locations.

14. A garden light as claimed in claim 8 , wherein said power source is an electrical utility power supply system for supplying electricity to homes, residences, and businesses.
