US Patent:

20050104524, May 19, 2005

Filed:

Nov 10, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/985189

Inventors:

James Bishop - Strongsville OH, US

International Classification:

H05B041/00

US Classification:

315056000, 315312000, 315060000

Abstract:

Adapters for retrofitting lamps which were originally designed to function with conventional incandescent light bulbs with arc-discharge lamps are provided. Use of an adapter according to the invention provides a system by which a lamp may employ an arc discharge lamp for illuminative purposes, which lamp does not receive its electrical energy through the threads of the socket on the lamp, as in conventional incandescent lighting, but rather receives its energy from a source external to the lamp. The original wiring which came with the lamp may be eliminated by use of a system according to the present invention.

Filed:

Aug 17, 1998

Appl. No.:

9/135029

Inventors:

James G. Bishop - Strongsville OH

International Classification:

H01J 744

US Classification:

315 56

Abstract:

Provided herein is a system which permits refitting of lamp sockets which utilize incandescent lamps with fluorescent lamps. The present system provides for a ballast which is remote from the lamp itself, thus being non-restrictive in regards to the size or wattage of the lamps used. The system is universal in that any existing incandescent lamp may be replaced with a fluorescent lamp, including compact fluorescent lamps, of any wattage desired by the user. The systems herein provide an increased degree of safety, as the socket profile can be matched to the ballast connector to preclude the use of an incorrect ballast with a given fluorescent lamp.

Appl. No.:

5/789548

Inventors:

Robert R. Abernethy - Walton Hills OH
James G. Bishop - Strongsville OH

International Classification:

H05B 4116

US Classification:

315 97

Abstract:

A device which is designed to save electrical energy expended by a regular rapid start fluorescent lighting fixture having a plurality of lamps, or tubes, and a conventional ballast. The device comprises the combination of a step-up transformer, a resistor and two capacitors, all of which are mounted externally of the ballast. The device is wired in series with the ballast and one of the lamps to allow normal ballast voltages to be delivered to the lamp circuit, thereby eliminating any detrimental effects to the lamps or ballast. At the same time, the current to the lamps and consequent consumption of power by the lamps is substantially reduced to save electrical energy while providing a reduced, but uniform level of illumination.
