DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0009] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 , a stage light in accordance with the present invention is shown comprised of a lamp holder shell 1 , a voice controller 2 , a lampshade 3 , and a lamp assembly 4 . When electrically connected to a lamp socket (not shown), the lamp assembly 4 drives the lampshade 3 to rotate and at the same time emits light through the rotating lampshade 3 , producing a lighting effect.

[0010] The lamp holder shell 1 comprises a base (same as the base of a lamp bulb having a ring contact and a tip contact) 11 adapted for connecting to a lamp socket, and a plurality of air vents 12 arranged around the periphery for quick dissipation of heat. A mounting plate 13 is fixedly fastened to the inside of the lamp holder shell 1 . The mounting plate 13 has a plurality of mounting holes 131 respectively fixedly fastened to the lamp holder shell 1 by fastening elements, for example, screws (not shown), and a center through hole 132 . A tubular stem 14 is provided having a first threaded end 151 inserted through the center through hole 132 and secured thereto by a lock nut 143 and a second threaded end 142 connected to the lamp assembly 4 .

[0011] The voice controller 2 is mounted on the mounting plate 2 inside the lamp holder shell 1 , having a switch 21 disposed outside the lamp holder shell 1 for switching on/off the voice controller 2 . When the voice controller 2 switched on, the intensity of external voice controls the voice controller 2 to drive the lamp assembly 4 .

[0012] The lampshade 3 is a hollow spherical shell comprised of a semispherical upper half shell 31 and a semispherical lower half shell 32 . The upper half shell 31 has a center through hole 33 for the passing of the tubular stem 14 . The lower half shell 32 has a center through hole 34 . The upper half shell 31 and lower half shell 32 of the lampshade 3 have lenses 36 formed integral with the respective peripheral wall through which light passes from the lamp assembly 4 to the outside of the lampshade 3 , producing a colorful lighting effect. According to this embodiment, the lenses 36 are color filter lenses.

[0013] The lamp assembly 4 is suspended from the stem 14 inside the lampshade 3 , comprised of a bracket 41 , a light-emitting element (a bulb or light emitting diode) 43 , and an actuator, for example, a motor 44 . The bracket 41 has a top mounting hole 42 fastened to the second threaded end 142 of the tubular stem 14 . The light emitting element 43 is mounted inside the bracket 41 , and controlled to emit light through the color filter lenses 36 to the outside of the stage light. The motor 44 is mounted in the bottom side of the bracket 41 , having a threaded output shaft 441 fastened to the center through hole 34 of the lower half shell 32 of the lampshade 3 by a locknut 35 .

[0014] Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 2 again, when the switch 21 switched on, electricity is connected to the voice controller 2 , the light emitting element 43 and the motor 44 . At this time, the voice controller 2 receives external voice, and controls the intensity of light of the light-emitting element 43 and the revolving speed of the motor 44 . When the motor 44 started, the lampshade 3 is rotated with the output shaft 441 of the motor 44 relative to the lamp assembly 4 .

[0015] Further, a control circuit may be installed and driven by the switch 21 to control the operation mode of the light-emitting element 43 .

[0016] A prototype of stage light has been constructed with the features of FIGS. 1 ˜ 3 . The stage light functions smoothly to provide all of the features discussed earlier.

[0017] Although a particular embodiment of the invention has been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
