I TITLE: MODULARIZED STREET LAMP (a) Technical Field of the Invention The present invention generally relates to a street lamp, and more particularly to a modularized street lamp that combines a plurality of light 5 emission modules. (b) Description of the Prior Art Street lamps are vital illuminating devices of roads and streets and function to provide illumination to the roads and streets when natural lighting is insufficient. However, the conventionally used incandescent lamps are 10 known deficient in various aspects, such as lighting being excessively concentrated. Further, when a light bulb gets broken, the light goes directly off. This may result in unexpected hazard to pedestrians in case of insufficiency of lighting. Further, the maturation of LED (Light-Emitting Diode) technology, 15 which exhibits excellent advantages in respect of small volume, high efficiency, and reduced consumption of energy, makes the traditional illuminants, such as incandescent blubs and mercury lights, gradually replaced by LEDs, which are now becoming a main stream in the future market. However, each manufacturer makes their own structures and specifications, 20 whereby once the product of a specific manufacturer is used, repair and 2 maintenance of such a product can only be done with spare parts available from the specific manufacturer. This causes unfairness to the general consumers. 5 3 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION To address such an issue, the present invention provides a modularized street lamp, which combines a plurality of light emission modules together such that each light emission modules illuminate an associated area and the 5 sites of illuminated areas are well controlled. Further, when one of the light emission modules is broken, the remaining light emission modules continuously give off light, allowing pedestrians to clearly watch out any situation on the road or street. Further, the light emission module can be made easily and shows no special configuration so as to allow other 10 manufacturers to manufacture by themselves and thus simplify subsequent operations of repair and maintenance and also ensure fairness in undertaking a maintenance project. To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a modularized street lamp, which comprises a lamp holder, a first light emission 15 module, and a second light emission module. The lamp holder is mounted to a lamp post and comprises a first socket and a second socket. The first light emission module comprises a first plate, a first illuminant, and a first plug. The first illuminant is arranged on one surface of the first plate. The first plug is mounted to the first plate and is insertable into the first socket to be 20 electrically connected thereto. The first plug is electrically connected to the 4 first illuminant. The second light emission module comprises a second plate, a second illuminant, and a second plug. The second illuminant is arranged on one surface of the second plate. The second plug is mounted to the second plate and is insertable into the second socket to be electrically 5 connected thereto and is electrically connected to the second illuminant. The first light emission module and the second light emission module are respectively coupled to the first socket and the second socket and have preset areas of illumination that are different. With the above described modularized street lamp, uniform illumination 10 can be achieved so as to overcome the drawback of the known device for excessive concentration of lighting. Further, when one of the light emission module gets broken, the remaining one of the light emission modules remains in operation to give off light. Further, each of the light emission modules has a simple structure and any manufacturer in the industry can easily 15 manufacture the modules. Thus, any public bidding held according to regulations can proceed without issuing any unfair competition. Another object of the present invention is to include light emission modules set at different locations so as to expand the area of illumination. A further object of the present invention is to make the first plate and the 20 third plate having the same shape and the second plate and the fourth plate 5 having the same shape so as to make manufacture easy and the manufacture cost lowered down. Yet a further object of the present invention is to allow a fifth socket to be extended out of the lamp holder for use in case of additional light emission 5 module being included.

The first light emission module 30 and the second light emission module 40 may be set at desired angles or 10 orientations to realize control of the areas of illuminations thereof. The instant embodiment uses the first light emission module 30 and the second light emission module 40 to respectively illuminate different areas so as to make the distribution of light uniform. Further, when one of the first light emission module 30 and the second light emission module 40 get broken, 15 the other one of the light emission modules is still in operation to give off light for illumination. This overcomes the deficiency of the conventional device that comprises only a single light source. Further, the first light emission module 30 and the second light emission module 40 are both easy to manufacture by those having ordinary skills in the art and the replacement of 10 these modules is easy so that any subsequent maintenance operation can be opened to general manufacturers without causing any unfairness issue. Further, the lamp holder 10 may further comprise a third socket 13 and a fourth socket 14 to be respectively used in combination with a third light 5 emission module 50 and a fourth light emission module 60. The third light emission module 50 comprises a third plate 51, a third illuminant 52, and a third plug 53. The third illuminant 52 is arranged on one surface of the third plate 51 and is electrically connected to the third plug 53. The third plug 53 is mounted to the third plate 51 and is insertable into the third socket 13 to be 10 electrically connected thereto. When electrical power is supplied, the electrical power is fed through the third socket 13 and the third plug 53 to the third illuminant 52.

Further, the third light emission module 50 and the fourth light emission 20 module 60 are set to cover different areas of illumination. Similar to the first 11 light emission module 30 and the second light emission module 40 described above, various arrangements can be adopted to have the modules covering different areas of illumination so that uniformity of lighting can be achieved through proper coordination among these modules. 5 Referring to FIGS. 6-8, the first plate 31 and the third plate 51 can be made of the same shape, while the second plate 41 and the fourth plate 61 are of the same shape. This may simplify manufacturing thereof. Due to the shareability nature thereof, the number of spare parts can be reduced. Further, as shown in FIG 9, the lamp holder 10 further comprises an 10 extension board 70 mounted inside the lamp holder 10. The extension board 70 comprises a fifth socket 71 mounted thereto. The extension board 70 is arranged so as to be withdrawable out of the lamp holder 10 to expose the fifth socket 15 to selectively receive one of the first light emission module 30, the second light emission module 40, the third light emission module 50, and the 15 fourth light emission module 60 to insert therein. This allows the number of light emission modules to be modified according to the requirement of installation to ensure optimization of illumination. In the instant embodiment, the first illuminant 32, the second illuminant 42, the third illuminant 52, and the fourth illuminant 62 can be any light 20 emission elements, such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and fluorescent 12 induction lamps. Further, additional devices or components, such as a heat sink, can be selectively mounted on the first plate 31, the second plate 41, the third plate 51, and the fourth plate 61. The present invention may additionally comprise a photo sensor (not 5 shown) mounted to the lamp holder 10 to control activation and deactivation of each light emission module. Further, a power generation device, such as a solar power generation device and a heat recovery based power generation device, can be combined with the present invention to generate electrical power by the lamp itself for supply to each of the light emission modules. In 10 addition, an output device may be provided to supply the electrical power to other devices or facility. Further, each light emission module may comprise a driving device, a controlling device, and a power conversion device that are directly coupled to the light emission module. This allows light emission modules of different 15 powers to be combined in the same lamp holder 10. Alternatively, the driving devices, the controlling device, and the power conversion devices can be collectively and directly mounted in the lamp holder 10 or the lamp post 20 and this may simplify the manufacturing process of the light emission modules and lowers down the manufacture cost.
13 It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together may also find a useful application in other types of methods differing from the type described above. While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and 5 described and are pointed out in the annexed claim, it is not intended to be limited to the details above, since it will be understood that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention. 10
