AI summary

A LED light apparatus includes a central beam module, a peripheral light module, a support housing and a cap. The central beam module has a beam lens for converting a first light to form a light beam. The peripheral light module has a light passing ring. The light passing ring surrounds the beam lens 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 beam 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.
