Interchange universal kits for LED light device
First Claim
1. A light device with interchangeable power sources, comprising:
- at least one main light device housing;
at least one AC power source sealed-unit constituting a first interchangeable power source, said at least one AC power source sealed-unit having at least one built-in first light source;
at least one DC powered battery pack which is in addition to the AC power source sealed unit and constitutes a second interchangeable power source, said at least one DC powered battery pack having at least one built-in second light source; and
at least one compartment within the main light device housing, said compartment arranged to interchangeably receive both the AC power source sealed-unit having the built-in first light source and the DC powered battery pack having the built-in second light source,wherein the AC powered sealed-unit includes power source connection means including one of a power cord, wires, and prongs for connecting the AC powered sealed-unit to an external source of power, said AC powered sealed-unit further including AC powered sealed-unit circuitry connected to said power source connection means and AC powered sealed-unit trigger means connected to said AC-powered sealed-unit circuitry for causing the AC powered sealed-unit circuitry to supply power to the light source, enable the light source to emit light that can be seen by a viewer, and provide a predetermined light performance with predetermined timing;
light effects, brightness, color, and duration; and
further includes means for connecting the AC powered sealed-unit circuitry and AC powered sealed-unit trigger means to the light source or assembly means for securing the sealed-unit within the compartment,wherein said DC powered battery pack includes at least one battery, DC powered battery pack circuitry, and DC powered battery pack trigger means which are in addition to said at least one battery for supplying power to enable the light source to emit light that can be seen by a viewer and provide a predetermined light performance with predetermined timing triggering, light effects, brightness, color, and duration, said DC powered battery pack further including connector means for connecting the DC powered battery pack circuitry and DC powered battery pack trigger means to the light source or assembly means for securing the sealed-unit within the compartment so that the DC powered battery pack and AC powered sealed-unit can easily be interchanged by a user to operate as a DC or AC powered light device and enable use of the device at any location desired by the user, andwherein because all electrical parts for supplying electricity and triggering to said first and second light sources are respectively included in said AC powered sealed-unit and said DC powered battery pack, none of said electrical parts are included in said main light device housing.

Abstract
An interchangeable power source light device has an AC power sealed-unit that fits into a uniform compartment of the light device housing. The AC power sealed-unit can be replaced by a DC power battery-pack, which also fits into the uniform compartment-means of the light device housing. The light device may have a built-in light source within the housing for connection with the sealed-unit or battery unit by to deliver electric signals from the sealed-unit or battery pack to the light source. Each sealed-unit and battery pack not only has its own power source, but also circuitry and a trigger, and optionally other light source(s) having low power consumption such as an LED(s), electro-luminescent (EL) element, organic LED, or organic EL element.
