First Claim
Patent Images
1. An illumination device compatible with a standard receptacle for at least one of a halogen light bulb or an incandescent light bulb, the illumination device comprising:
- a primary light source for providing direct illumination, the primary light source comprising at least one primary light-emitting diode (LED);
a secondary light source for providing decorative illumination in a direction different from a direction of the direct illumination, the secondary light source comprising at least one secondary LED; and
a housing comprising;
a base receivable into the standard receptacle,disposed around at least the secondary light source, a transmissive region for transmitting decorative illumination therethrough, anddisposed around at least the primary light source and joined to the transmissive region, a reflective region for reflecting light transmitted by the primary light source, thereby providing direct illumination,wherein the transmissive region and the reflective region each substantially conform to a portion of an outer envelope of a conventional halogen light bulb or a conventional incandescent light bulb.
