Abstract:
1. A method of providing illumination capable of replacing the illumination from incandescent light bulbs, including halogen light bulbs, comprising steps of providing a standard light bulb power connector the same as that as for a conventional incandescent light bulb which the device replaces, the power connector adapted to fit into at least one of many standard light bulb power sockets, the power connector having input power contacts for receiving an input voltage from a power source; electrically connecting a circuit module to the input power contacts of the power connector; electrically connecting at least one LED to an output of the module; physically connecting each LED to the module; physically connecting the module to the power connector; fitting the module and all LEDs into the volume envelope of the incandescent light bulb; converting the input voltage to a voltage required by the LEDs; providing light from the LEDs to produce decorative illumination in addition to general, non-decorative illumination.
