Abstract
Apparatus and methods for re-usable packaging of a lighting product include providing a container body to receive an electric lamp and a cover that can be repeatedly sealed and unsealed to the container. In an illustrative example, the lamp may be an AC LED lamp substantially located within the container body by a lamp locating feature on a bottom interior surface of the container body. In some embodiments, an interior surface of the lid may provide a projecting feature configured to positively retain the lamp in the lamp locating feature when the lid is installed on the container body. In various embodiments, the container body and the container lid may advantageously provide a protective package that may be sold as a kit, and may further provide a durable and reusable general purpose container system that may, for example, substantially reduce an environmental footprint associated with lamp packaging.
