In a ceiling fan having a blade surface light, an annular blade surface light including a plurality of LEDs that are light emitters that are continuously placed is secured on a circumference that connects sides near tips of a plurality of rotary blades of the ceiling fan, and the light emitters are lit by a lighting controller only when they are in a predetermined range on a rotation reference circumference. LED devices housing the LEDs that are the light emitters and that are provided with cooling fins are housed in an annular LED case, and the LED case is secured to the rotary blades. Thus, the LEDs radiate heat from the cooling fins provided in the LED devices by rotation of the rotary blades, and they are intermittently lit and extinguished to prevent a temperature increase. The LEDs only in the predetermined range are lit, thereby preventing any uncomfortable feeling when LEDs are caused to flash.

A pet safety warning ring comprises a collar body, a vibration frequency sensor, an information transmission module, a warning flash device, a microcontroller chip, a sensing adjustment means and an ultrasonic transmitter. When a pet is moving, the vibration frequency sensor receives a vibration and transmits a message to the warning flash device to achieve the effect of warning a driving car about the existence of the pet. If the vibration frequency sensed by the warning ring reaches a specific value, the microcontroller chip will turn on the ultrasonic transmitter to emit a high-decibel ultrasonic wave, such that the pet will feel uncomfortable. When the pet slows down its movement, the ultrasonic transmitter will stop operating, so that the moving speed of the pet can be controlled to prevent an accident if the pet runs onto a road.
