Solution Overview
Problem
Existing LED light devices face challenges in installation and assembly due to the space occupied by driver circuits, and they often lack flexibility in visual design and heat dissipation, which increases costs and complicates installation while compromising visual effects.
Innovation Solution
The LED light apparatus features a central light module, a peripheral light module, a support housing, and a cap, with a neck unit that includes a shift and bendable structure for adjustable installation, a circular light guide for gradient lighting effects, and a driver for separate control of light modules, enhancing visual appeal and heat dissipation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If driver circuits are included in LED light devices, then proper driving currents can be supplied to LED modules for normal operation, but space is occupied and assembling becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the driver circuit board directly into the support housing, merging two previously separate components (driver circuit and housing) into a single integrated structure. This eliminates the need for separate driver circuit housings and simplifies the overall assembly process while maintaining the functionality of supplying proper driving currents to LED modules.
2Reliability
If driver circuits are included in LED light devices, then proper driving currents can be supplied to LED modules, but total cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
By merging the driver circuit board integration into the support housing structure, the patent reduces the total number of separate components and assembly steps. This integration approach lowers manufacturing costs by eliminating additional housing materials, fasteners, and assembly operations while maintaining the essential function of providing proper driving currents to LED modules.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple light sources are used for different visual effects, then flexibility in visual design is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the lighting system into distinct segments: a central light source and multiple peripheral light sources arranged around it. Each light source can be independently controlled to create different visual effects. This segmentation allows for versatile visual design while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure, as each light source module is self-contained and can be controlled independently through the driver circuit.

AI summary
A LED light apparatus includes a central light module, a peripheral light module, a support housing and a cap. The central light module has a central light passing cover for converting a first light to form a light beam. The peripheral light module has a circular light guide. The circular light guide surrounds the central light passing cover for converting a second light to form a peripheral light. The peripheral light has a lower intensity strength than the light beam. The support housing fixes the central light module and the peripheral light module. The cap is fixed to the support housing for plugging in an external socket for getting an external power supply.
