Abstract

A modularized lighting device includes a multifunctional module. The multifunctional module includes a module base a top of which is combined with a substrate to house a sensor and a camera lens in a receiving space of the module base. The module base is provided, on the bottom thereof, with a light emission element included light board that is coupled to the module base. Through a plurality of mounting holes, the module base can be mounted in an interior space of a housing of a variety of lighting fixtures/devices to allow a user to selectively use a single function or multiple functions for easy replacement of components of for example the sensor and the camera lens. Thus, the present invention makes use of the multifunctional module to be applicable to various types of lighting devices to achieve the purposes of enhancing convenience and modularized function selection.

Claims

1. A modularized lighting device, comprising:

a housing, which comprises a multifunctional module and a light board comprising at least one light emission element mounted therein; and

the multifunctional module comprising a module base that defines a receiving space, the light board being mounted under the module base, the receiving space receiving therein a sensor and a camera lens, whereby the sensor is operable to activate operations of the camera lens and the light emission element.

2. The modularized lighting device according to claim 1, wherein the receiving space selectively receives a single sensor therein in such as way that the sensor is operable to activate operation of the light emission element.

3. The modularized lighting device according to claim 1, wherein the sensor is arranged at one side of the camera lens.

4. The modularized lighting device according to claim 1, wherein the receiving space further receives therein a substrate that is arranged on a top of the receiving space for retaining and preventing the camera lens or the sensor from damages caused by being exposed.

5. The modularized lighting device according to claim 1, wherein the multifunctional module is mounted in an interior of the housing so as to allow for mounting in an interior of a variety of lighting fixtures/devices.
