WIRELESS PORTABLE LIGHT SOURCE SYSTEM WITH MULTIPLE MOUNTING AND CONTROL MODES
First Claim
1. A portable light bulb system, comprising:
- a bulb including;
a housing,a manually-operated switch,a main body having a base and an elongated neck portion, the neck disposed between the housing and the base, the base having a plurality of rings that are arranged substantially parallel to each and not forming a continuous thread, anda light source disposed within the bulb to provide illumination through the housing and configured to be operably connected to a power source;
a mounting bracket having a projection extending from a bracket flange, the projection defining a receiver that receives an extent of the base to releasably couple the bulb to the mounting bracket;
wherein the portable light bulb system is configurable in a first use position where (i) the mounting bracket is affixed to a support surface and (ii) operation of the bulb provides illumination to a region proximate the mounting bracket; and
wherein the portable light bulb system is configurable in a second use position where (i) the bulb is disconnected from the mounting bracket and brought by a user to a second region distant from the mounting bracket and (ii) operation of the bulb provides illumination to the second region.

Abstract
A portable light bulb system includes a bulb that is removably coupled to a mounting bracket that is affixed to a support surface. The bulb includes an internal battery power supply and a LED light engine. The system also includes a wireless module communication device configured to wirelessly communicate with the bulb. The portable light bulb system is capable of being configured in a first use position where operation of the bulb provides illumination to a region proximate the mounting bracket affixed to the support surface. An operator can disconnect the bulb from the bracket and bring the bulb to a second use position where operation of the bulb provides illumination to the second region. The operator can then return the bulb to the bracket at the first use position, or bring the bulb to yet another location for illumination.

14. A remote controlled portable light bulb system, comprising:
-
a bulb including; a housing, a manually-operated switch, a main body having a base and a neck disposed between the housing and the base, the base having a plurality of rings that are arranged to not form a continuous thread, and a light source disposed within the bulb to provide illumination through the housing and configured to be operably connected to a battery, said light source having a plurality of operational modes, a wireless communication device; and a remote module placed at a region distant from the bulb, said the remote module having a wireless communication device that is operable with the wireless communication device of the bulb; wherein the remote controlled portable light bulb system is configurable in a first use position where (i) the bulb is affixed to a support surface, (ii) operation of the bulb provides illumination to region proximate the supported surface and (iii) the illumination of the bulb is controlled by the remote module; and wherein the remote controlled portable light bulb system is configurable in a second use position where (i) the bulb is brought by a user to a second region distant from the support surface and (ii) the illumination of the bulb is controlled by the manually-operated switch. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
