Screw-in LED light and sound bulb
DC
First Claim
1. A combination speaker lighting bulb comprising:
- at least one low voltage light emitting illumination element, in combination with at least one sound emitting element;
a bugle-head light reflecting element that reflects light from said at least one light emitting illumination element onto an outer exterior surface of said bugle-head light reflector into a plurality of directions;
an electrical connector configured for engage into a lighting socket, whereinsaid electrical connector provides power to said at least one low voltage illumination element and said at least one sound emitting element.

Abstract
A combination light and sound producing fixture and combination screw-in light with speakers element is disclosed where the fixture is installed in a wall or ceiling or on a wall or ceiling. The light bulb/speaker can be screwed or secured into a standard light bulb socket. The sound producing elements is a coaxial arrangement of speakers having a low frequency transducer and one or more high frequency transducers that can be directed to emit sound in a particular direction. The fixture or bulb may further include digital signal processing to modify the sound to account for obstructions in or near the fixture. The surface of the sound transducer can be reflective in nature to provide focusing or diffusion of the light from the lighting elements. The lighting elements are incandescent, fluorescent or low voltage LED type that may include adjustment for lighting intensity and color.
