20130229103 | ADJUSTABLE BEAM LAMP - A lamp device having first and second ends comprising a glass lens positioned on the first end of the lamp and a socket positioned on the second end of the lamp. The lamp is configured with a parabolic reflecting surface lining the interior side walls of a top portion of the lamp and an array of LEDs or other light emitting device positioned within that the top portion of the lamp. The array of LEDs or other light emitting device are operatively connected to the socket in order to receive power. The lamp may also be configured to facilitate movement of the glass lens closer to and further away from the array of LEDs or other light emitting device in order to shorten or lengthen the focal point of the light beam created by the array of LEDs or other light emitting device. Alternatively, the lamp may be configured to facilitate movement of the array of LEDs or other light emitting device closer to and further away from the glass lens in order to shorten or lengthen the focal point of the light beam created by the array of LEDs or other light emitting device. | 09-05-2013 |
