Abstract
A flexible light emitting diode (LED) lamp. The flexible LED lamp includes a base, an LED lamp head, and a flexible mid region disposed between the base and the LED lamp head. The LED lamp head is detachable or replaceable to obtain different colors, upgrade to improved LED lighting technology, or replace a defective component. The LED lamp head includes one or more LEDs coupled to a printed circuit board and a lens to spread the light generated by the LEDs to provide a larger area of illumination. The base of the flexible LED lamp has a clip to couple an object, such as a music stand, table or a book case. The flexible mid region allows the LED lamp head to be moved into a position where illumination is desired.
