Abstract

The current invention make a big improvement than conventional market available all kind of LED bulb which only can offer near-by areas illumination not like the current invention can use one LED bulb to offer near-by and far-away illumination or image or both or any combination with other light effects and digital data display images. Also, The current invention may has more than one light beam emit out from LED bulb which under more than one control means for the one of the light beam may selected from power failure, remote control, Infra red controller, blue-tooth with mobile phone, motion sensor to trigger at least one of the light beam to offer the light beam for illumination or image to area(s).

Claims

1. An LED bulb, comprising:

at least a first LED and a second LED;

projection elements for projecting light beams or images from the first LED to a remote area, the projection elements including optical elements and the optical elements including a lens for projecting the light beams from the first LED to the remote area, and at least one display unit, the display unit including an image or pattern forming element, a digital data display or LCD display,

wherein light beams from said second LED are emitted or projected to a nearby area or to a second remote area;

movable elements for moving housing components that are sensitive to heat or whose operation is vulnerable to interference from light or signal blocking elements away from the heat or away from the light or signal blocking elements;

position, orientation or angle adjustment means for adjusting a position, orientation or angle of said light beams projected to the remote area from the first LED; and

a base insertable into a lamp holder for connecting the LED bulb to a power source.

2. An LED bulb as claimed in claim 1, further comprising elastic contact means that enable the LED bulb to be rotated upon insertion into the lamp holder to adjust a direction of the light beam in three dimensions.

3. An LED bulb as claimed in claim 1, further comprising optics means for varying a light performance of a light beam emitted by the LED bulb.

4. An LED bulb as claimed in claim 3, wherein the optics means is a focus adjustment means for adjusting a focus of the light beams from the first LED to vary a brightness, size, and performance of the light beams at desired locations or areas.

5. An LED bulb as claimed in claim 1, wherein the base is a screw type, pin type, pole type, multiple pole type, twist type, or bayonet type light bulb base.

6. An LED bulb as claimed in claim 1, wherein the LED bulb emits more than one set of light beams to locations, areas, and positions away from the LED Bulb.

7. An LED bulb as claimed in claim 1, wherein the projection elements include a tube that prevents light leakage from the projection means and ensures that LED light beams passing through the optical elements, lens, and display unit of the projection elements are emitted out of the LED bulb to desired locations, positions, and areas.

8. An LED bulb as claimed in claim 1, further comprising any of a sensor, switch, motion sensor, remote control, blue-tooth unit, Wifi unit, and photo sensor incorporated with circuitry for causing at least one of the first and second LED to emit light so as to provide predetermined light functions, performance, and effects.

9. An LED bulb as claimed in claim 1, wherein the movable means of the LED bulb is extendable or retractable in a predetermined direction.

10. An LED bulb as claimed in claim 1, wherein the LED bulb not only provides illumination for nearby areas and remote areas, but also incorporates additional functions including one of a motion sensor, remote control, blue-tooth, and wifi function.

11. An LED bulb, comprising:

at least a first LED and a second LED;

projection elements for projecting light patterns or images from the first LED to a remote area, the projection elements including optical elements and the optical elements including at least one lens for projecting the light patterns or images from the first LED to the remote area, and a display unit through which light beams from the first LED pass before being projected by the lens, the display unit including an image or pattern forming element, digital data display, or LCD display for forming said light beam patterns or images, wherein light beams from said second LED are emitted or projected to a nearby area or to at least one second remote area;

a base insertable into a lamp holder for connecting the LED bulb to a power source; and

at least one of circuitry, a sensor, a blue tooth unit, and a remote control unit.
