Abstract
An LED lamp is enhanced by adding an integral control receptacle, wherein a frame structure of the lamp having a horizontal top surface is adapted by attaching a photocontrol receptacle on the top surface and wiring it for powering some pins of the receptacle and for connecting some pins for controlling functions of the LED lamp. The control is provided by plugging a suitable controller into the receptacle. Advantageously, a metal plate is attached between the receptacle and the lamp frame, thereby enhancing performance in ways that include heat sinking, blocking uplight, reflecting added light down and outward. Additional lighting effects are derived from optionally shaping the plate, providing different surfaces on it, and/or attaching more LEDs on it.
