Method and apparatus for packaging circuitry within a lightbulb
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising a device that includes:
- an electrical connector through which said device can receive electrical power from externally thereof;
a radiation generator that, when energized, emits electromagnetic radiation; and
a flexible carrier having thereon circuitry that is operatively coupled between said connector and said radiation generator, said circuitry being responsive to electrical power received through said connector for energizing said radiation generator in a manner causing said radiation generator to produce radiation that is emitted from said device.

Abstract
A device has an electrical connector, a radiation generator, and a flexible carrier with circuitry that is operatively coupled between the connector and the radiation generator. In response to electrical power received through the connector, the circuitry energizes the radiation generator, and the radiation generator emits radiation. In a different embodiment, a device has an electrical connector, a radiation generator, and a member with circuitry embedded therein. The circuitry is operatively coupled between the connector and the radiation generator. In response to electrical power received through the connector, the circuitry energizes the radiation generator, and the radiation generator emits radiation.
