New patent application published for: Dual-Function Emergency Alert and Illumination Device

A dual-function emergency alert and illumination device configured for installation into a standard light socket is disclosed. The device includes a bulb housing containing at least one light-emitting element capable of emitting a first color illumination during a non-emergency mode and a second color illumination during an emergency mode. A dusk-to-dawn photocell automatically controls activation of the non-emergency mode based on ambient light conditions. A wireless communication module, operable via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or cellular protocols, receives emergency activation signals from remote sources including mobile applications, personal emergency alert devices, remote notification systems, and/or automated emergency call detection. A control module switches the device from the non-emergency mode to the emergency mode, in which the second color is emitted in a flashing pattern visible from a distance and maintains this mode until a reset signal is received.
