The present disclosure, in general, relates to a spotlight that is used to produce intense illumination in a well-defined area in stage, film, television, ballet, opera production, and as per consumer requirements. The spotlight resembles a small searchlight but usually has shutters, an iris diaphragm, and adjustable lenses to shape the projected light. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a spotlight having screwless structure with high efficiency, cost-effective,easy to assemble, and easy to mass produce to meet large market requirements.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Currently, there are a lot of interest in using high brightness white Light Emitting Diodes(LEDs) to replace conventional incandescent light bulbs, halogen reflector spotlights and fluorescent spotlights. Most lighting devices utilizing high brightness white LEDs comprise arrangements in which a plurality of LEDs replaces the conventional light source component and utilize the existing optical components such as a reflector and/or a lens. Ideally a spotlight would generate an illuminance (luminous flux (power) per unit area incident on a surface) that was substantially uniform across the spotlight's emission angle (beam spread).
[0003] In other words, LEDs are increasingly being utilized as a light source in various lighting fixtures because of their inherently high efficiency in converting electrical power to light. Although LED elements are relatively expensive, compared to incandescent, and other forms of light sources, the initial cost is recovered over time through energy conversion efficiencies. A typical LED light source suitable for commercial and theatrical lighting can be
comprised of a plurality of individual LED elements arranged in an enclosed housing to discharge light through an output lens or window of a predetermined size and shape.
[0004] There is always a frequent requirement of commercial and theatrical lighting is to be able to confine light output of a luminaire or light fixture to a relatively narrow beam, so that a particular object can be highlighted in relation to its immediate surroundings. With available commercial LED illumination modules, the light output lens or window covers a plurality of LED elements and accordingly is of relatively large diameter. The emitted light is somewhat diffused in that it originates from a plurality of sources and confinement of the light into a tight beam requires reflectors, typically of a compound parabolic configuration, to be undesirably long in an axial direction.
[0005] In addition, most of the spot light used in market with main body completely made up of plastic & have input wire come from center area, which cause problem during spotlight mounting on small height junction box.
[0006] Moreover, due to LED heat, live wire need isolation from heat area, but most of the LED spotlights available in market has direct contact with heat area, which may give rigidity in wire to decay & get wasted quickly. Furthermore, a metal clip (for mounting of the spotlight) attached with the spotlight has provision of screw, which results in over costing and also have provision of external driver, which makes spotlight bigger in size.
[0007] Hence, there is a need of the spotlight having screwless structure, highly efficient, cost-effective in nature, easy to assemble, and easy to mass produce to meet large market requirements.
OBJECTS OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0008] Some of the objects of the present disclosure, which at least one embodiment herein satisfy, are listed hereinbelow.
[0009] It is a general or primary object of the present disclosure to provide a spotlight having very strong emitting points so that light attenuation is much lower than the existing spotlights.
[0010] It is another object of the present disclosure to provide the spotlight with high performance and reliability.
[0011] It is yet another object of the present disclosure to provide the spot light having screwless structure.
[0012] It is another object of the present disclosure to provide the spotlight which can easily dissipate the heat generated inside the spotlight.
[0013] It is a further object of the present disclosure to provide a cost-effective and highly efficient spotlight.
[0014] It is yet further object of the present disclosure to provide the spot light having structure that is easy to assemble and easy to produce in mass to fulfil the requirements of the consumers.

[0051] FIG. 8A illustrates the structure of the metal pin 112 comprising two guiding holes 112a, 112b, wherein each of the said guiding holes 112a, 112b are being formed with a smooth edge 112s at an insertion face for guiding the guiding pillars 102a, 102b and a sharp edge 112rat a locking face for locking the guiding pillars 102a, 102b. Each of the two edges .smooth edge 112s and the sharp edge 112r are clearly shown in FIG. 8B. Moreover,each of these guiding holes 112a,112b are formed in which the insertion face having diameter greater than the diameter of the locking face for easily insertion of the guiding pillars 102a ,102b and difficult removal of the guiding pillars 102a,102b. FIG. 8C depicts the assembling of the spotlight 100 with the metal pin 112.
[0052] Moreover this metal clip112 also has unique design profile which helps in providing grip to overall spotlight 100 when whole spotlight 100 put inside the junction box. The special angled side hands of metal clip 112 will be providing proper grip, so that spotlight 100 can't slid down after/during use of whole unit in market. In addition, it also has provision of gripping input wire 114 for making spotlight 100 more decent in look and to pass BIS push & pull
test of overall unit. The metal clip is attached to the spot light through hot press mechanism that helps in easy assembling of metal clip with thespot light.
[0053] FIG. 9A depicts the situation before establishing the assembly between the wirel 14 and the metal clipl 12. FIG. 9B depicts the situation after placing the insertion of wire 114 inside the section 112c provided in the metal clip 112 attached to the spot light above the back plate 110 through hot press mechanism. This structure prevent over heating of input plastic wire to touch MCPCB, which is over heating items in every spotlight, the unique feature will give protection to the input wire from directly touching MCPCB, which results in more life added to spotlight itself.
