Abstract

A lamp that can concentrate light has two brackets, two shade holders, a shade, two sockets and two illuminating elements. The shade holders are attached respectively to the brackets. The shade is mounted between the shade holders and has a tubular body, a slit and an extension. The tubular body is made of an opaque material and is attached to the shade holders. The slit is longitudinally defined through the tubular body. The extension extends from the tubular body along the slit. The sockets are respectively mounted on the shade holders. The illuminating elements are attached to the sockets and are mounted in the open ends of the tubular body of the shade. Accordingly, the light emitting from the illuminating elements is concentrated and emits only from the slit in the shade to increase the brightness of the light emitted from the lamp.

Claims

1. A lamp comprising:

two brackets;

two shade holders attached respectively to the brackets;

a shade mounted between the shade holders and comprising;

a tubular body made of an opaque material and having an axis and two open ends attached respectively to the shade holders;

a slit defined through the tubular body; and

an extension extending from the tubular body along the slit; and

a socket with an illuminating element attached to each shade holder, and the illuminating element mounted in a corresponding one of the open ends of the tubular body of the shade.

2. The lamp as claimed in claim 1, wherein each bracket is L-shaped and has a first side and a second side with a mounting hole defined through the second side for mounting a corresponding one of the shade holders in the mounting hole;

and

each shade holder has a distal end and a proximal end inserted into the mounting hole in a corresponding one of the brackets and multiple hooks formed on the proximal end to engage the second side of the corresponding bracket.

3. The lamp as claimed in claim 2, wherein each shade holder has a longitudinal flange with an outer diameter formed on the distal end of the shade holder;

and

the tubular body of the shade has a circular cross section to make the open ends circular and having an inner diameter,

wherein the inner diameter of the circular open end of the shade is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the flange on a corresponding one of the shade holders to rotatably mount each open end of the shade on the flange on the corresponding shade holder.

4. The lamp as claimed in claim 2, wherein each bracket has multiple through holes defined through the first side of the bracket for multiple fasteners to respectively penetrate the through holes to attach the bracket to an object.

5. The lamp as claimed in claim 2 further comprising two end caps attached respectively to the brackets.

6. The lamp as claimed in claim 5, wherein each bracket has multiple engaging recesses defined in the first side of the bracket;

and

each end cap has multiple protrusions to engage respectively the engaging recesses in a corresponding one of the brackets.

7. The lamp as claimed in claim 1, wherein the slit is longitudinally defined through the tubular body along the axis.

8. The lamp as claimed in claim 7, wherein the slit extends from one open end to the other.
