ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a lamp, and more particularly to a lamp that can be either a normal light source or an emergency light source when electricity is interrupted.
2. Description of Related Art
A conventional emergency lamp in accordance with the prior art used in case of loss of electricity generally is fixed on a wall. This kind of lamp does not have an anesthetically pleasing appearance and has only the function of providing emergency illumination in a fixed location. Furthermore, since such a conventional lamp is too heavy to carry, it is inconvenient for a user to use it as a portable light source in the dark.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the disadvantages of the conventional emergency lamp.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a lamp in accordance with the present invention includes a base that holds a storage battery and a printed circuit board. A reflector is mounted on the base and has a bulb mounted at the center. The bulb, the storage battery and the print circuit board are connected with wires. A globe is detachably mounted on the base. The lamp can be used as a normal portable lamp and an emergency lighting device when the electricity is interrupted. The lamp further can be used as a flashlight when a handle is mounted on the base of the lamp.
Further benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after a careful reading of the detailed description with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.
