ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to illuminators, and more particularly to a electro luminescent illuminator.
Regular desk lamps, night lamps, indicator lamps commonly use a bulb or bulbs to produce light. A lamp bulb is generally comprised of base, a glass bulb mounted on the base, and a filament suspended inside the glass bulb. A lamp bulb must be carefully handled because it is fragile. When a lamp works, it produces heat, and its glass bulb becomes hot within a short length of time. The user will get the hand burnt when touching the hot glass bulb. If cold water is accidentally dropped to the hot glass bulb of a lamp, the lamp may explode. Furthermore, these conventional lamps are not durable in use because the filament burns out quickly with use.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention has been accomplished to provide an illuminaotr which eliminates the aforesaid drawbacks. It is the main object of the present invention to provide a electro luminescent illuminator which is safe and durable in use, and does not produce heat during its operation. It is another object of the present invention to provide a electro luminescent illuminator which is economic, and detachable. To achieve these and other objects of the present invention, there is provided electro luminescent illuminator comprised of a lamp holder and a luminous body mounted on the lamp holder, wherein the lamp holder has a plurality of equiangularly spaced recessed top plug holes, a plurality of conductor holes respectively disposed in the recessed top plug holes at a bottom side, a current transformer with an electric plug at a bottom side thereof for connection to AC power supply, and a plurality of conductors respectively connected between the current transformer and the conductor holes; the luminous body includes a plurality of electro luminescent luminous strips respectively fastened to the plug holes at the lamp holder, the electro luminescent luminous strips each having a plurality of lead wires respectively plugged into the conductor holes at the lamp holder.
