A portable, multi-function lighting apparatus is provided that is easy to transport, re-configure and use. The lighting apparatus is configured to readily remove and replace light fixtures, so that a user can vary and customize the lighting effects as desired for each event and the apparatus can be easily disassembled and packed for transport and storage. Optionally, the apparatus can be provided as part of a kit including a light bar removably mounted on a stand, and a bag into which the light bar and stand can be stored and transported. Such a kit can also be provided with a footswitch for activating features powered by, and mounted to, the light bar. Lighting modules and/or other devices can be added to and removed from the light bar, as desired. Modules attached to the light bar receive power and control data from the light bar. Additionally, the portable, multi-function lighting apparatus can be connected with one or more other portable, multi-function lighting apparatus in a master slave relationship.

A modular system may include a plurality of magnets that may be provided to self-align a casing with an accessory. Self-alignment of the casing and the accessory may provide a secure connection of the casing with the accessory. At least one detent and at least one locking arm may mate and lock the casing against the accessory in a mounted position. The at least one detent and the at least one locking arm may unlock in an insertion position. Self-alignment may occur when a first set of magnets attracts a second set of magnets in which opposite polarities attract and automatically initiate movement of the casing towards the accessory.

A flashlight assembly with an electromechanical switch assembly and internal scaled subframe, and methods of assembling and operating same, are disclosed.

A device for emitting electromagnetic radiation, in particular UV radiation, including at least one radiating unit that only emits radiation at visible wavelengths. The device further includes a unit for detecting a functional error of the radiating unit. In practice, the radiating unit is provided for emitting only UV radiation and/or IR radiation and is formed by a light diode. The detection unit is designed to continuously monitor the radiating unit for functional errors, and the device includes an open-loop and/or closed-loop control unit which is provided to automatically switch off the radiating unit and/or display the functional error, upon detection of the functional error by the detection unit.

A modular lighting system may include a plurality of magnets that may be provided to self-align a light pod casing with a pod accessory. Self-alignment of the light pod casing and the pod accessory may provide a secure connection of the light pod casing with the pod accessory. At least one detent and at least one locking arm may mate and lock the light pod casing against the pod accessory in a mounted position. The at least one detent and the at least one locking arm may unlock in an insertion position. Self-alignment may occur when a first set of magnets attracts a second set of magnets in which opposite polarities attract and automatically initiate movement of the light pod casing towards the pod accessory.

Electronic light emitting flares and related methods. Flares of the present invention include various features such as self-synchronization, remote control, motion-actuated or percussion-actuated features, dynamic shifting between side-emitting and top-emitting light emitters in response to changes in positional orientation (e.g., vertical vs. horizontal) of the flare; overrides to cause continued emission from side-emitting or top-emitting light emitters irrespective of changes in the flare's positional orientation; use of the flare(s) for illumination of traffic cones and other hazard marking or traffic safety objects or devices, group on/off features, frequency specificity to facilitate use of separate groups of flares in proximity to one another, selection and changing of flashing patterns and others.

The present invention relates to a multifunctional working light, comprising a light tube and a light-emitting plate. The light-emitting plate is installed in the light tube. One end of the light tube is axially rotatably connected with a rotating sleeve. The end connected with the rotating sleeve is axially connected with a handle body. A fixed rocker arm is rotatably connected to a side wall of the handle body. Suction magnets are installed on an end surface of a free end of the fixed rocker arm. A hook is installed in the side wall of the handle body. A lower end of the hook is connected with the handle body through a ball body. The other end of the light tube is axially connected with a connecting sleeve.

A work light comprising a body, a light panel, a clamp, and a magnet. The body includes a first side, a second side, and an interface to couple to a battery. The light panel is moveably coupled to the first side of the body and is electrically coupled to the interface. The clamp is extendable from the second side of the body and is configured to selectively couple the work light to an external structure. The magnet is supported on the second side of the body.
