Universal Submersible LED Lamp with Multi-Pin Connector
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current swimming pool lamps require replacement lamps to match specific brands and automation systems, making it difficult to replace malfunctioning lamps without disrupting the synchronized operation of other lamps in the pool, as each brand has unique control systems for lighting, color changes, and on/off functions.
Innovation Solution
A universal submersible LED lamp with various connection options and integrated microchips for automatic or manual control, allowing it to adapt to different brand systems by selecting the appropriate operating system through a five-pin connection configuration, enabling seamless integration and operation with existing pool lighting systems.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a specific brand automation system is used for pool lamps, then the lamp can be controlled correctly with that brand's system, but it cannot be replaced with a lamp from a different brand without disrupting the control system
Solution Approach 1:
The lamp is designed with a universal control system that can interface with multiple different automation systems and manual control methods simultaneously. The lamp body incorporates multiple connection terminals that support different wiring configurations, allowing the same lamp to work with various brands of automation systems or be controlled manually, thus resolving the contradiction between maintaining reliable control and enabling flexible replacement
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple connection options are provided in the lamp, then the lamp can adapt to different automation systems, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The connection system is segmented into separate, standardized components with distinct functions. The lamp body includes multiple independent connection terminals that can be selectively used based on the control system type. This segmentation allows the complex adaptability requirements to be broken down into simple, manageable connection points, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining versatility

Function Achieved in This Case
Enables easy installation and maintenance of the lamp, allowing it to function correctly across different brands and systems, ensuring continuous and synchronized lighting without the need for advanced knowledge, providing a versatile and efficient solution for pool lighting.
Implementation Method 1
a panel of a plurality of LEDs
Implementation Method 2
a heat sink (11) that is housed in the front end of the tubular casing (1) and on which is fixed with fixing means (12) a panel of a plurality of LEDs (13) so that the heat produced by the LEDs in their on state is dissipated by means of said heat sink (11)

AI summary
A universal submersible LED lamp/luminaire adapted to be placed inside a tube embedded in walls or floors of swimming pools, tubs, jacuzzies, or other bodies of water includes a hermetically coupled tubular casing defining posterior and anterior ends. The posterior end includes a connector, configured with an arrangement of five round pins for four connection configurations. The anterior end comprises a waterproof sealed lens and internally houses a panel of LEDs. An LED lighting control electronic board is housed inside the casing and is connected to the connector and LEDs. The board integrates microchips programmed to execute a pattern and sequence automated switching on of the LEDs and that are activated depending on the connection position of a power supply cable in connector.
