Abstract

An induction lamp includes a bulb enclosing an induction coil and having a threaded base. The threaded base is electrically connected to the induction coil without an electrically intermediate frequency generator disposed between the threaded base and the induction coil. An induction lamp fixture includes a female threaded electrical bulb socket and a frequency generator convertor unit 50-60 Hz A/C electricity to a sufficient frequency to illuminate an induction bulb. A method for retrofitting a light fixture includes connecting an output of a frequency generator having an input receiving 50-60 Hz A/C electricity, to a female threaded electrical bulb socket.

Claims

1. An induction lamp comprising:

a bulb enclosing an induction coil and having a treaded base, the threaded base electrically connected to the induction coil without an electrically intermediate frequency generator disposed between the threaded base on the induction coil.

2. An induction lamp fixture comprising:

a female threaded electrical bulb socket; and

a frequency generator converting 50-60 Hz A/C electricity to a sufficient frequency to illuminate an induction bulb, said frequency generator electrically connected to the threaded electrical bulb socket.

3. An induction lamp system comprising:

a female threaded electrical bulb socket;

a frequency generator converting 50-60 Hz NC electricity to a sufficient frequency to illuminate an induction bulb, said frequency generator electrically connected to the threaded electrical bulb socket; and

a bulb enclosing an induction coil and having a treaded base, the threaded base electrically connected to the induction coil without an electrically intermediate frequency generator disposed between the threaded base on the induction coil, said bulb threaded base threadingly engageable in the female threaded electrical bulb socket.

4. A method for retrofitting a light fixture, said method comprising:

providing a light fixture comprising a female threaded electrical bulb socket having an electrically input for being connected to a 50-60 Hz NC power source;

providing a frequency generator having an input receiving 50-60 Hz NC electricity and an output for proving a sufficient frequency to illuminate an induction bulb; and

connecting the output of the frequency generator to the electrical input of the female threaded electrical bulb socket.
