         [0004]      FIG. 1  is a conventional LED light element  1  connected to a circuit board and is secured onto a bulb seat  2 . This LED light bulb could provide brightness but has the following drawbacks:  
         [0005]     The positioning of the projection angle of LED element  1  depends greatly on the tiny metallic lead at the bottom end of the element  1 . However, due to impact in the course of transporting or packaging, biased angle  3  is formed and this will reduce the brightness of the focused light rays. In order to facilitate the control of material and color tone distinguishing for consumer, an adhesive label  4  having the same color with the LED light is adhered to the surface of the light bulb seat. This adhesive label  4  will dislocate and therefore the consumer has to unscrew the LED light bulb to distinguish the color tone of the light bulb. Thus, this is inconvenient to the consumer.  
         [0006]     Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a LED light bulb structure which mitigates the above drawbacks.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT  
       [0022]     The following descriptions are of exemplary embodiments only, and are not intended to limit the scope, applicability or configuration of the invention in any way Rather, the following description provides a convenient illustration for implementing exemplary embodiments of the invention. Various changes to the described embodiments may be made in the function and arrangement of the elements described without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.  
         [0023]     Referring  FIG. 3 , there is shown a LED light bulb structure comprising a light bulb body  3  having a plurality of LED elements  12 , and a positioning seat  20  for the holding of the LED elements  12 .  
         [0024]     As shown in  FIG. 3 , the light bulb body  10  has the shape of the conventional LED light bulb, and includes a bulb seat  11  which can screw onto the bulb holder, and a plurality of LED elements  12 . The bottom end of the element  12  is connected to a circuit board, and the plurality of LED elements  12  are arranged and secured onto the light bulb seat. The size and shape of the LED elements are shown in  FIG. 7 .  
         [0025]     As shown in FIGS.  2  to  5 , the positioning seat  20  is a seat body integrally made from plastic material, and the seat body is not higher than the LED element  12 . The seat face is provided with a plurality of recesses  21  which can hold the LED elements  12  on a bulb seat  11  so that the LED elements  12  are vertically positioned.  
         [0026]     As shown in  FIGS. 2 and 4 , after the light bulb body  10  is secured onto the seat  20 , the bulb  10  will not rotate. The side wall of the bulb seat  11  and the positioning seat  20  provide further securing, or the contacting face of the positioning seat  20  and the bulb seat  11  is provided with adhesive tape. The LED element  12  is firmly secured by the guiding of the recess  21 . The LED elements  12  are held in a vertical position. Thus, the brightness of the light rays is improved.  
         [0027]     In accordance with the present invention, the color of the positioning seat  20  is matching that of the color of light of the LED elements  12 . Thus, it is convenient to the consumer in distinguishing the light color of the LED light bulb structure.  
         [0028]     As shown in  FIG. 6 , the recess  21  of the positioning seat  20  is formed at the wall  22  of the hole and is biased to the center thereof.  
         [0029]     Thus, the matrix shaped LED elements  12  are guided to project light at the center thereof so that the brightness of the light rays is improved. As shown in  FIGS. 5 and 7 , the seat face between the recesses  21  is further provided with holes  23  for dissipation.  
         [0030]     Referring to  FIG. 8  which is a circuit diagram of the present invention, the circuit contains nine LED elements and the main circuit for the LED light bulb will work when the input voltage is higher than that designed voltage (13.2V) thereby stabilizing the current flowing through the LED elements, and the BE joint of the transistor and the cutoff properties of the transistor is utilized to make the circuit work steadily.  
         [0031]     As shown in  FIG. 8 , the collector C 1  of the transistor Q 1  is connected to the negative electrode of the LED element, and the emitter E 1  is connected to a current limiting resistor R 3  which is then connected to the ground thereby forming a closed circuit. A resistor R 2  is used for supplying a voltage for the base B 1  of the transistor Q 1  thereby providing base current for the transistor Q 1 . The base B 2  of the transistor Q 2  is connected to the emitter E 1  of the transistor Q 1 , the emitter E 2  of the transistor Q 2  is connected to the ground, and the collector C 2  of the transistor Q 2  is connected to the base B 1  of the transistor Q 1 .  
         [0032]     The working principle of the present invention is described as follows: 
        1. When the voltage supplied is equal to the predetermined value, 13.2V, the resistor R 2  will supply voltage to the transistor Q 1  thereby providing a voltage for the LED  1  to LED  9  and causing current flowing therethrough. The voltage applied to the collector C 1  of the transistor Q 1  is equal to the difference between the power voltage and the LEDVF, i.e. 13.2V−LED.VF×number of LED. When the knot voltage of the base B 1  and the emitter E 1  is reached, current at the collector C 1  will flow through the resistor R 3  thereby providing a potential difference across the resistor R 3 . Since the resistor R 3  is low in resistance, the voltage across the resistor R 3  will be low thereby making it unable to conduct the transistor Q 2 . Hence, the transistor Q 2  will not work and the circuit will only work at the predetermined value.     2. When the supplied voltage is higher than the predetermined value, the potential difference across the transistor R 3  will conduct the knot BE of the transistor Q 2  and a portion of the current flowing through the resistor R 2  will be guided to the ground through the transistor Q 2 . Only a small current will flow through the base of the transistor Q 1 , and so the potential difference is low thus making the transistor Q 1  in semi-conducting condition and therefore reducing the current flowing through the LED  1  to LED  9 . When the emitter E 1  is at low current and low voltage conditions, the transistor Q 2  will be in cutoff condition and the transistor Q 1  will work again thereby causing the LED to work at the predetermined value.        
 
         [0035]     It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together may also find a useful application in other types of methods differing from the type described above.
