The present invention relates to a novel energy saving decorative festive lamp that is ideally suited for use in clubs, restaurants, or decorative applications, where specialized lighting, such as rapid flashing or frequent starts, is required. It may be used with hanging chandeliers for a spectacular display of dazzling illumination sources or because of its low power consumption, may find application as a night-light or to illuminate hallways and stairwells. Each lamp consumes only one watt, is energy efficient and has a long-life, lasting up to 50,000 hours. The outer glass envelope covering the LED array is preferably transparent, whereas the LEDs are available in the following colors: red, blue, green, amber, and white. This energy saving lamp operates efficiently at 1 watt or less to produce an illuminance greater than 25,000 mcd from a string of 10 LEDs, or greater than 37,500 mcd from a string of 15 LEDs, when contained in a transparent cover.

The interactive video system and method (collectively the “system”) provides users with the ability to navigate and otherwise interact with a representation of physical space. Each representation can include a number of viewpoints and objects that can be selected by the user to provide interactive functionality. For example, a user can decide to examine the contents a bookshelf, tilt upwards to look at a chandelier, or zoom in on a tree visible from an exterior window. The motion of tilting, panning, or zooming is conveyed in the form of video clips that accurately resemble the way a human being would perceive such activities. The viewing of objects and viewpoints can be accompanied by the display of information relevant to the user. The various representations can be stored in highly compact files that allow even low-speed dial-up Internet users to effectively navigate a representation in a real-time manner.

A lamp having a candle-like appearance and using one or more light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as its light source is presented. The candle-like appearance arises because light is emitted from only a small volume at or near the center of the bulb. The heat sink and control electronics are located outside the bulb of the lamp. Inside the bulb is a set of secondary optics that guide the light from one or more LEDs to an emission point at a prescribed location in the interior of the bulb. The secondary optics include a light pipe that guides light away from the LED chip, and a volume scattering element that receives the light from the light pipe and scatters it into various directions. The volume scattering element is made from a transparent base material, and includes transparent particles of a predetermined size and refractive index. Because the lamp is typically used in an overhead position, such as in a hanging chandelier, the density of particles in the volume scattering element, the particle size and the particle refractive index are chosen to produce a scattering pattern that directs more light downward (toward the base of the bulb) than upward, while maintaining a reasonable efficiency (fraction of produced light that successfully exits the lamp). Simulation results are presented.
