Abstract

A portable light emitting device and a lamp equipped with it. The portable light emitting device includes a housing and a light emitting unit, and is designed for insertion of a single finger and is therefore very compact to carry. Besides, the light emitting unit is able to selectively produce visible light and UV light, the visible light is used for illumination purpose, and the UV light can dry the nail polish, so that the light emitting device become more versatile and provides more added values. The light emitting device can further be used as an illumination lamp, such as a desk lamp, when in combination with a support, which further improves the versatility and convenience of use of the light emitting device.

Claims

1. A portable light emitting device comprising:

a housing being a three dimensional structure extending along a length direction, a width direction and a height direction, respectively, the length direction, the width direction and the height direction being perpendicular to one another, the housing including a chamber and a gap, the chamber including a top open end and an inner surface arranged along the height direction, and a maximum chamber height disposed between the top open end and the inner surface and extending along the height direction, the gap being in communication with the chamber and one end of the housing in the length direction, another end of the housing in the length direction being a close end, the chamber having a chamber length extending from the gap to the close end of the housing, the gap including a maximum gap height extending along the height direction, and the maximum gap height being smaller than the maximum chamber height, the gap including a maximum width in the width direction, and the maximum chamber height is between 2 cm and 7 cm, the maximum gap height is between 1.5 cm and 5 cm, the chamber length is between 2 cm and 6 cm, and the width of the gap is between 2 cm and 3.5 cm; and

a light emitting unit being disposed in the housing and able to selectively generate a visible light and a UV light.

2. The portable light emitting device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the light emitting unit includes a light source and a controller which are electrically connected to each other, the light source is disposed at the inner surface of the chamber, and the controller is disposed at and closes the another end of the housing opposite the gap.

3. The portable light emitting device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the light source includes a plurality of light emitting diodes capable of selectively generating lights of different wavelengths.

4. The portable light emitting device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the controller includes a control panel which is exposed out of the housing, the control panel includes at least one control portions and a display portion, and the controller is controlled by the control panel to change the wavelength of the light generated by the light source.
