Abstract:
A standard table lamp requires an electrical outlet to supply alternating current (AC) and illuminate a standard AC light bulb, including new technology, low wattage AC light bulbs such as a 7 Watt LED or a 7 Watt CFL. This limits the placement and portability of light emitting devices such as table lamps, floor lamps, chandeliers or wall sconces within a commercial or residential living space. To date, there are products that use batteries to power light sources but the form factors are usually bland and unattractive to interior designers and homeowners alike. This invention takes the idea of portable lighting and standardizes the form factor by using already developed standard low wattage AC light bulbs such as LED and CFL and standard AC light bulb sockets embedded in the design.
