Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a technical field of spiral lamp caps, and in particular to a light bulb.


BACKGROUND

At present, Light Emitting Diode (LED) bulbs are generally divided into two types, and a first type of the LED bulbs is light bulbs powered by Alternating Current (AC) mains. In the first type, two contacts of the LED bulbs powered by the AC mains are disposed on a bulb body, one of the two contacts is connected to an AC mains supply fire line, and the other one of the two contacts is connected to an AC mains supply zero line. The LED bulbs powered by the AC mains contains a driver, and overall temperature of the LED bulbs powered by the AC mains is increased due to heat dissipated by the driver. This type of the LED bulbs powered by the AC mains can be made into two-color dimmable light bulbs, but a production scheme is complex and production cost is high.


A second type of the LED bulbs is low-voltage bulbs. The low-voltage bulbs comprise two contacts, and one of the two contacts is connected to a positive terminal of a direct current (DC) power supply and the other one of the two contacts is connected to a negative terminal of the DC power supply. A power supply of the low-voltage bulbs does not contain the driver. Since the low-voltage bulbs have only the two contacts, only one path of lamp beads is installed in the low-voltage bulb, that is, the low-voltage bulbs only emits light of one color, which cannot meet requirements of being made into the two-color dimmable light bulbs

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

As shown in FIGS. 1-8, the present disclosure provides a light bulb. The light bulb includes a bulb holder 10, a base 2, a lampshade 1, and an LED bulb panel 8. A lower end of the base 2 is connected to the bulb holder 10. An upper end of the base 2 is connected to the lampshade 1. The LED bulb panel 8 is disposed on the base 2. A metal ring 3 is sleeved on the lower end of the base 2. A first contact 6 and a second contact 7 are disposed on the bulb holder 10. A first light-emitting circuit and a second light-emitting circuit are disposed on the LED bulb panel 8. The metal ring 3 is electrically connected to a first end of the first light-emitting circuit and a first end of the second light-emitting circuit. The first contact 6 is electrically connected to a second end of the first light-emitting circuit. The second contact 7 is electrically connected to a second end of the second light-emitting circuit.


In the embodiment, compared with a conventional light bulb, the metal ring 3 is added in the present disclosure. That, is, a third contact is additionally disposed. Therefore, two light-emitting circuits are disposed in the light bulb, and each of the light-emitting circuits emits light of one color, so that the light bulb emits light of two different colors.


In the embodiment, the first light-emitting circuit includes a first LED circuit or a plurality of first LED circuits connected in parallel with each other. Furthermore, the first LED circuit is formed by connecting a plurality of first LED lights in series. Furthermore, the plurality of first LED lights are white light LED lights. Furthermore, the first light-emitting circuit further includes a diode D1, and the diode D1 is connected to the first LED circuit.


In the embodiment, the second light-emitting circuit includes a second LED circuit or a plurality of second LED circuits connected in parallel with each other. Furthermore, the second LED circuit is formed by connecting a plurality of second LED lights in series. Furthermore, the plurality of second LED lights are yellow light LED lights. Furthermore, the second light-emitting circuit further includes a diode D2, and the diode D2 is connected to the second LED circuit.


In the embodiment, the lampshade 1 is selected from a plastic lampshade 1 and a glass lampshade 1. Furthermore, the plastic lampshade 1 is molding component made of PC material. In the embodiment, the bulb holder 10 is selected from an E27 bulb holder 10, a G125 bulb holder 10, and a G95 bulb holder 10. In the embodiment, a plurality of pins 5 are disposed on the metal ring 3, and a plurality of jacks 4 corresponding to the plurality of pins 5 are disposed on the base 2.
