Claims
- a chandelier structure including a bracket member for mounting said chandelier structure to a wall structure, and also including an elongate tubular member being attached to said bracket member, and further including a housing member being attached to said elongate tubular member, and also including a plurality of branch members being hingedly attached to said housing member, and further including a plurality of light-emitting members being attached to said housing member and to said branch members, and also including a power cord being connected to said light-emitting members, said bracket member including a plate having a plurality of threaded fasteners being extended therefrom for attaching to the wall structure such as a ceiling, said elongate tubular member having a first end which is securely attached to said plate, and also including a second end, said housing member including a top wall having a boss being disposed upon a top side thereof and having a bore therein, and also including a bottom wall, said top and bottom walls further having main portions and perimeter portions which are angled downwardly relative to said main portions and also having multiple edges, said second end of said elongate tubular member being securely received in said boss of said top wall.
2. A plant growth-enhancing lamp device as described in claim 1, wherein chandelier structure further includes a plurality of first louvers being arranged in sets of first louvers and being disposed through said top wall to effect cooling of said light-emitting members.
3. A plant growth-enhancinig lamp device as described in claim 2, wherein said branch members are arrowhead-shaped and have edges which are opposite to vertex tips thereof and which are hingedly attached to said perimeter portions of said top and bottom walls and which can be pivotally adjusted upwardly and downwardly as selected by a user with said vertex tips being distally-disposed relative to said perimeter portions.
4. A plant growth-enhancing lamp device as described in claim 3, wherein said chandelier structure also includes a plurality of second louvers being disposed through said branch members and being extended between said vertex tips and said opposite edges of said branch members.
5. A plant growth-enhancinig lamp device as described in claim 4, wherein said light-emitting members are securely attached upon a bottom of said bottom wall of said housing and upon undersides of said branch members, and are approximately 1600 light-emitting diodes with approximately 1200 being red light-emitting diodes each having a wavelength of 660 millimicrons and also with 400 being white light-emitting diodes each having a peak wavelength of 450 nanometers for effective plant growth.
