Solution Overview

Problem

Current night lights lack a built-in projection function and continuous power source, with most projection lights powered by batteries and incandescent bulbs that cannot be left on continuously due to short battery life, and conventional projection lights lack features like continuous switch positions, built-in night lights, power saving circuits, adjustable focus, and swivel mechanisms for long-distance projection.

Innovation Solution

An LED light with a built-in projection and night light that can be powered by an outlet or battery, featuring a continuous switch, power saving circuit, adjustable focus, swivel, spin, and rotate mechanisms, allowing for long-distance projection and extended use with a combination of switch means, sensors, and motor-driven image rotation.

AI summary

An LED light has a built-in projection light and a night light to offer at least two functions for people in a dark environment. The projection light can project an image from any type of display-unit irrespective of geometric shape or image source or type, including display of digital data, wireless digital data, an LCD or TFT screen display, or any other display, enabling images of enlarged size to be projected onto a preferred surface, making it easier for people to see the image. The built-in night light helps people see things in a dark environment.
