Abstract

An alert system, for alerting aid responders and to guide them to a residence, and having a bulb having a globe portion containing a plurality of low voltage response lights, a base portion attached to the globe containing a plurality of response circuits and connectable to a domestic conventional power supply and adapted to activate the response lights, fastening means on the base portion whereby it is adapted to be received in a conventional domestic electrical lamp receptacle, and, a radio frequency remote controller adapted to communicate with the response circuits in the base portion operable to activate the low voltage response lights, and a smoke detector having wireless connection with the alert system.

Claims

1. An alert system, adapted to be located on the exterior of a residence in a conventional domestic exterior light receptacle and operable to alert aid responders and to guide the aid responders to the residence and comprising;

an alert bulb having a globe portion;

a plurality of low voltage white response lights in said globe portion;

a bulb base portion attached to the globe portion and installable in said conventional domestic light receptacle;

steady light wireless response circuits contained in said bulb base portion and operable to supply constant low voltage power to said low voltage white response lights to activate said response lights upon receipt of a wireless signal from a remote within the residence to create the impression of constant white porch light on said residence;

flashing light wireless response circuits-contained in said bulb base portion and operable to supply intermittent power to said low voltage white lights whereby to generate flashing light;

a radio frequency remote activator within the residence and operable in the event of an alarm within the residence to communicate from within the residence with said response circuits in said bulb base portion on the exterior of the residence and activate said low voltage response lights in said alert bulb on the exterior of said residence whereby to establish flashing light alert lights in said alert bulb to direct aid responders to said residence.

2. The alert system as claimed in claim 1 including a smoke detector in the residence;

a wireless response circuit in the smoke detector, operable to activate the alert bulb system, enabling responders to respond to a smoke incident in the residence and

wherein there are a plurality of smoke detectors at various locations in the residence, and including smoke detector wireless response circuits in each said smoke detector, each of said smoke detector wireless response circuits being operable when the smoke detector in one location is activated, whereby the smoke alarm will be communicated throughout said residence in all of said smoke detectors to alert persons in the residence.

3. The alert system as claimed in claim 2 and including an ambient light detector on said alert bulb, said ambient light detector being connected to said circuits in said bulb base, and operable to activate said low voltage response lights in said bulb to provide steady illumination around said residence.

4. An alert system, adapted to be located on the exterior of a residence in a conventional domestic exterior light receptacle and operable to alert aid responders and to guide the aid responders to the residence and comprising;

an alert bulb having a globe portion;

a plurality of low voltage white response lights in said globe portion;

a plurality of low voltage colored response lights in said globe portion;

a bulb base portion attached to the globe and installable in said conventional domestic light receptacle;

wireless response circuits contained in said bulb base portion and operable to supply low voltage power to said low voltage response lights to activate said response lights upon receipt of a wireless signal from a remote within the residence wherein said response circuits include controls operable to supply constant power to said low voltage white low voltage response lights whereby to generate continuous light during desired time frames, to create an impression of constant white porch light on said residence;

a radio frequency remote activator within the residence and operable in the event of an alarm within the residence to communicate from within the residence with said response circuits in said bulb base portion on the exterior of the residence and activate said both white and colored said low voltage response lights in said alert bulb on the exterior of said residence whereby to establish alternate white and red flashing alert lights in said alert bulb to direct aid responders to said residence.

5. The alert system, adapted to be located on the exterior of a residence in a conventional domestic exterior light receptacle and operable to alert aid responders and to guide the aid responders to the residence as claimed in claim 4 including an ambient light detector on said alert bulb, said ambient light detector being connected to said circuits in said bulb base, and operable to activate said low voltage white response lights in said bulb to provide steady illumination around said residence.
