Claim Text:
1. A lighting device for use with one or more other networked devices, comprising: (a) an outer globe comprised of an at least partially transparent rigid material and forming the exterior of a head portion of the lighting device; (b) a diffuser within the outer globe configured to receive light from one or more light sources and emit diffused light; (c) a plurality of light pipes configured to transport light from one or more LEDs to an inner surface of the diffuser, each light pipe a solid conduit comprised of transparent material; (d) an outer cowling forming the exterior of a base portion of the lighting device; (e) a power input connector located at the base of the lighting device and configured to mate with a standard lightbulb socket; (f) a power control printed circuit board within the lighting device operatively connected to the power input connector and disposed at least partially within a heat sink configured to dissipate heat, the power control printed circuit board comprising: (g) a communication and control printed circuit board within the lighting device operatively connected to the power control printed circuit board and comprising: (h) an indicator printed circuit board within the lighting device operatively connected to the communication and control printed circuit board and configured to receive power from the power control printed circuit board via the communication and control printed circuit board and comprising: (i) one or more microprocessors operatively connected to first non-transitory computer-readable memory having stored thereon first processing instructions readable by at least one of the one or more microprocessors; (j) an auxiliary device mounted within the lighting device closer to the head of the lighting device than the indicator printed circuit board, operatively connected to the communication and control printed circuit board, and configured to receive power from the power control printed circuit board via the communication and control printed circuit board; and (k) an LED lighting printed circuit board mounted within the lighting device closer to the head of the lighting device than the indicator printed circuit board and having an aperture through which the auxiliary device extends, the LED lighting printed circuit board operatively connected to the indicator printed circuit board, operatively connected via the indicator printed circuit board to the communication and control printed circuit board, configured to receive power from the power control printed circuit board via both the indicator printed circuit board and the communication and control printed circuit board, and comprising a second plurality of LEDs configured to deliver light through the diffuser.
