Another embodiment of the instant disclosure provides a LED light, the LED light set with an Edison light cap, that is, a general standard light cap, may be shifted to a general ceiling light socket or a desk light socket. A general indoor power, such as 110V or 220V voltage may be leaded into the LED light through the light cap.

The LED light further includes a drive assembly, a light source assembly and a speaker assembly. The drive assembly includes a power conversion circuit for converting the indoor power supply into a low voltage drive current to drive the light source assembly and the speaker assembly. The drive assembly further includes a wireless communication circuit and a processing circuit. The wireless communication circuit receives the sound information from the external device. The processing circuit converts the received sound information into a driving signal corresponding to the speaker assembly and drives the speaker assembly to play the corresponding sound.

For example, this wireless communication circuit is a Bluetooth communication circuit, and the sound streaming may be obtained from the matched phone, TV, home server and may be played through the speaker assembly.

For example, the wireless communication circuit, in addition to the standard Bluetooth communication circuit, may include an additional communication circuit adopted a second wireless communication protocol, which is different from the first communication circuit protocol, such as the Bluetooth communication protocol. The second wireless protocol may interact with additional circuit, such as a wireless doorbell. When the wireless doorbell is pressed or the like, the additional communication circuit receives the touch information from the wireless doorbell, and the processing circuit plays the stored sound information to generate the sound of the doorbell. In addition, the processing circuit may further drive the light source assembly to remind using the light with the doorbell. This may provide a better experience for elderly people or someone who are injured in hearing.

Other examples about the second communication protocol further include mobile phone calls from mobile phones, or notification messages about the wearer from the wearable device, such as smart bracelet.

In addition, when the wireless communication circuit receives information from the first and the second communication protocol at the same time, and when the sound need to be played, the processing circuit would select one of the following setting to play the sound according to the preset rule.

The first setting is to pause the original playing sound, and play the sound effect corresponding to the new arrival information. For example, pause the playing music and play the doorbell. In order to avoid the doorbell being mistaken for a part of the music, pause the music first, matched with light effect of the light source assembly, and then play the doorbell notification

The second setting is to hold the second message directly when one of the higher priority information is playing. For example, if a WeChat information is received when listening music, the WeChat information may not play directly but play at some other time, such as the music empty space or the time a song changed.

The third setting is to play the two sound messages simultaneously.

The user may preset the rule at the time leaving the factory, or communicate with the processing circuit through an external device, such as the mobile phone, or the wireless communication circuit, and make the relevant setting.

In addition, the LED light further provides a housing having a speaker effect. For example, the housing is an inverted tube speaker, and it may be designed to produce Mega bass by the structure design.

Another variant according to the above-described embodiment is that the housing in the design has no speaker. The outwardly facing portion of the housing includes a vibration diaphragm corresponding to the speaker assembly. The light source assembly is arranged around the periphery of the vibration diaphragm, for example, configured around the periphery of the vibration diaphragm.

In addition, in a further embodiment, the material of such a housing includes wood, not only the plastic.

In addition, in a further embodiment, the housing includes a hole, and the lighting source circuit is configured round the hole.

In addition, in a further embodiment, the outwardly facing portion of the housing provides with a vibration diaphragm, the light source assembly configured around the periphery of the vibration diaphragm.

In addition, in a further embodiment, for the sound signal to be played, the processing circuit filters out the low frequency signal and transmits the low frequency signal to an external low frequency speaker element through the communication circuit, and then play the sound signal.

For example, the processing circuit receives the bass information from another LED light through the wireless communication circuit, and plays music with the other LED light together, wherein the other LED light is mainly responsible for playing the Hi-Mid of the music.

In another approach, the processing circuit analyzes the sound information from the outside, transmit the Hi-Mid portion to another LED light through the wireless communication circuit, and play music with the other LED light together.

In another approach, the processing circuit synchronizes with another external speaker through the wireless communication circuit, and play music together. For example, the user may set the normal speaker to play the Hi-Mid part, and the LED light that may play the Mega bass synchronously.

In addition, in a further embodiment, the low frequency speaker element is disposed in another LED light. In other words, two bulbs mounted on the ceiling in accordance with the concept of this embodiment, one of which plays the Hi-Mid part of the music and the other enhances the bass part of the music. The other combinations of course also conform to the inventive concept behind this embodiment.

The LED light with the speaker of the invention has the following advantages: firstly, since the speaker assembly is located between the light source assembly and the driving assembly, and the through hole is set on the hollow heat sink, the optical effect may not be affected. At the same time, the advantages may expand the audio width, improve sound quality, conduct the internal space and the outside air completely and enhance the cooling effect; secondly, the influence of the speaker on the light emitting effect of the LED light may be reduced by the arrangement of the shock absorbing washer; in addition, the shock absorbing washer may form a relatively closed chamber after being abutted to the hollow heat sink, and then increase the volume of the speaker; finally, by setting the sound guide channel and the sound outlet, the bass sound quality may be improved significantly.
