Integral LED Light Fixture
First Claim
1. An integral LED light fixture comprising:
- a housing base having a forward housing base portion and a rearward housing base portion, a support at said rearward housing base portion, a forwardly-extending outer wall and a forwardly-extending central portion defining a housing base recess in said housing base;
a socket base operatively connected to said rearward housing base portion of said housing base for making electrical connection with an incandescent light socket, said socket base transmitting electrical current with an incoming voltage from the incandescent light socket; and
a series of electrical components for generating LED illumination operatively connected to said housing base, said series of electrical components including;
a printed circuit board comprising a set of LED bulbs, and electrical circuitry for transmitting electricity to actuate said set of LED bulbs; and
electrical conversion components for converting the electrical current received from said socket base to electrical current having the necessary characteristics for actuating said LED bulbs, said electrical conversion components and said printed circuit board having respective rearward-to-forward heights, said respective rearward-to-forward heights cumulatively having a total cumulative height;
said printed circuit board and said electrical conversion components being nested together to form a total nested depth;
said total nested height being less than said total cumulative height, and said socket base, said housing base, said printed circuit board and electrical conversion components being fixedly attached to each other; and
a lens removably attached to said housing base and enclosing said series of electrical components.

Abstract
An integral LED light fixture for installation in an incandescent light bulb socket includes a housing with a forwardly-extending portion and peripheral outer walls defining a recess, a rearwardly-extending socket base to be screwed into an incandescent light bulb socket, electrical components having an LED driver component, a driver cover and a printed circuit board having a set of LED bulbs and an orifice for receiving the central portion of the housing, which are nested into a compact set of electrical components, and a lens for covering the printed circuit board and being attached to the housing. The integral LED flight fixture cover can also be installed in a junction box. An AC version is also provided which lacks the driver component and the driver cover.
