The embodiments disclose a lighting device configured for projecting at least a 180 degree halo of light using at least one component module having a LED/lens light pod module, a mount configured for a user to wear the lighting device on a user's hand, at least one external battery pack and a navigation light device with the lighting device, wherein the lighting device and the navigation light device are configured to project a 360 degree light pattern and at least one sensor configured to automatically activate a front LED/lens light pod module when the user raises and points a hand to gain a predetermined distance forward focused beam in a pointing direction, wherein the at least one sensor activates left and right side LED/lens light pod modules for projecting a light pattern to a front and rear direction when the user's arm is at one's side.

This invention is directed toward a body board, used for enjoying aquatic environments, which has one of more strings of LED lights disposed in one or more channels that have been molded or routed into the top, bottom, or sides of the body board. The LED's are powered by a rechargeable battery pack disposed in a wireless charger cavity in the bodyboard, along with a wireless charging receiver and an LED controller, which is covered by a watertight bodyboard sealant cover to prevent water from damaging the electronic components. In particularly preferred embodiments, the bodyboard core is white beaded polypropylene foam and a P9242-R 15W wireless charging transmitter is used to charge a P9221-R 15W wireless charging receiver.

In some embodiments, a lighting assembly including at least one light-emitting device positioned within a housing is disclosed, wherein the housing is designed to allow an ambient environment to pass into the housing and transfer heat from the at least one light-emitting device. The light-emitting area of the light-emitting device may be sealed from the ambient environment. In some embodiments, the housing may include at least one recess, port, or other opening configured to allow a liquid or gas to promote heat transfer from the light-emitting device. In some embodiments, a vehicle, a marine system, or other systems may include at least one lighting assembly as contemplated herein.

A rescue sled assembly for use on ice or water includes a pair of floats being buoyant in water and being capable of sliding upon the ice-covered body of water. A frame is coupled to the pair of floats, wherein the frame connects the floats to each other. A plurality of tethers is engaged with the frame and facilitates pulling of the frame and floats in a selected direction and orientation. A plurality of handles is coupled to the frame and provides a grip for a person to grab onto the frame when being pulled out from an opening of an ice-covered body of water. A plurality of light emitters is coupled to the frame and emits light when turned on.

A system for a marine vessel operating in a body of water includes a trimmable marine device coupled to and movable with respect to the vessel and an actuator that raises and lowers the marine device. A control module is in signal communication with the actuator. A GPS receiver determines a current and/or predicted global position of the vessel, and a processor accesses a memory storing bathymetry data and retrieves a water depth corresponding to the vessel's current and/or predicted global position. The control module compares the water depth to a depth of the marine device based on the marine device's current position. The actuator raises the marine device in response to the control module determining that the water depth is not enough to accommodate the depth of the marine device at the current position without potential collision between the marine device and the body of water's bottom.

This invention is directed toward a body board, used for riding ocean waves, paddling through standing water, and other aquatic uses, which has one or more strings of optionally removable LED lights disposed in one or more channels that have been molded or routed into the top, bottom, or sides of the body board. The channels are, in one embodiment, removably covered with a water-resistant covering that can be opened to remove or exchange the LED lights. The body board also includes a cavity into which a battery (optionally, with a solar charger) is placed, where the battery powers the LED's, and means of controlling the LED's. The battery cavity, in the first embodiment, is also covered by a water-resistant covering that can be opened to access the battery for removal or replacement. In a second embodiment, the cover is permanent, allowing for a more waterproof cover.
