ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
(a) Field of the Invention
Lamp Assembly with a casing having a mild light-transmission effect.
(b) Description of the Prior Art
Conventionally, a lamp assembly, one executed to be a Garden Lamp and meant for erection on a floor surface for use, or else household desk lamps, wall lamps, chandeliers, and the like, are typically composed of a lamp casing and lamp shade, or additionally an erection stem in the case of applications for setting on a flat surface. The lamp casing compartment of a conventional lamp assembly, however, be it made of plastic base or metal material, is usually opaque so that when the lamp assembly is turned on for illumination the contour of the lamp casing will inevitably produce a shadow defined an such by projection, and that inevitably has negative effects an the intended illumination.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary object of the invention, therefore, is to provide a lamp assembly with a casing having a mild light-transmission effect, comprising essentially the lamp casing and the lamp shade of any shape or makeup, the lamp casing configured involute to accommodate the lamp shade. Both casing and shade may be structured independently and include a single constituent or multiple constituents, but these restricted to be materials of chosen light transmittances. The casing may be in module form, and may exhibit an atomization effect, or alternatively the surface of the casing may go through sandblasting treatment, the chosen light transmitting materials additives to different proportions admixed, painting may be applied to said surfaces, or sticker paper of chosen light transmittance may be applied to, the same surfaces, or still the casing surface may be vapor plated form a metal film which is partially or entirely incorporated with a mild light transmission effect, or the lamp casing and shade may retain a partial light blocking effect all the same. It is still practicable to have the shade compartment made of light transmitting material or glass or other translucent materials, and to entirely or partially exhibit a chosen light transmission effect so as to achieve a same wholesale light transmission or discriminating light transmission effect so that the entire lamp assembly will remain opaque when the light source remains unlit, but both the lamp casing and lamp shade will emit light when the light source is turned on at night, producing a Main Illumination Zone and a Complementary Illumination Zone with a mild light transmission effect almost clear of any shade, what strikes the view instead is a profile of the lamp assembly on illumination exhibiting an aesthetic feature at the same time.
