Title:

A LIGHT EMITTING DIODE (LED) LAMP REPLACEMENT SAFETY SWITCH FOR LINEAR FLUORESCENT LAMPS

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/099664

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

Provided is a system for replacing a fluorescent lamp with a light emitting diode (LED) into a conventional fluorescent lighting fixture without modifications. The lighting assembly includes an LED unit having a first end and a second end. The lighting assembly also includes a safety locking device positioned on at least one of the first end and the second end of the LED unit and coupled to a lighting fixture. The safety locking device comprises a safety switch defining an unarmed state and an armed state. To prevent a risk of shock, the safety switch is changed from the unarmed state to the armed state upon manual activation of the safety switch after the LED unit is moved into a locked position. The armed state enables an electrical communication between the two ends of the LED unit to activate the LED unit.
