Abstract
A lamp includes a bulb; a light source such as an LED; a lamp base including a connector for providing electricity from a standard lamp socket; and a housing coupled to the lamp base and supporting the bulb in a position to receive electromagnetic energy from the light source. Circuitry connected to receive electricity from the connector of the lamp base provides drive current to the light source. In the examples, each of the lamps also includes a theft deterrence mechanism coupled to the lamp base configured to deter unauthorized removal of the lamp once the lamp base has been inserted into the standard lamp socket to enable lamp operation.
