An EMP-resistant (electromagnetic pulse-resistant) case for portable electronic devices is provided. The case includes a conductive external housing configured to enclose the electronic device. The housing includes a lower housing having a continuous connection surface. The housing also includes an upper housing having a continuous connection surface. The lower and upper housing are configured to releasably engage at the continuous connection surface. The housing includes a conductive gasket positioned at the continuous connection surface between the upper and lower housing. The case also includes a first insulative layer at least partially covering the inside surface of the upper and lower housing.

A luminous safety ball including an inner glowing body and a foam sphere covering the inner glowing body is provided. The inner glowing body is not a perfect sphere, the foam sphere has a non-uniform thickness, and light emitted by the inner glowing body passes through the foam sphere and permeates through a surface of the foam sphere to form light with different brightness thereon.

A flashlight includes a main body, a power source supported within the main body, a first electrical contact supported by the main body and electrically connected to the power source, and a head removably coupled to the main body. The head includes a light source, a lens, and a sliding focus mechanism axially moveable to adjust a distance between the light source and the lens. The flashlight further includes a second electrical contact supported by the head and electrically connected to the light source, a main body bayonet portion supporting the first electrical contact, and a head bayonet portion supporting the second electrical contact and engaged with the main body bayonet portion to electrically connect the first electrical contact with the second electrical contact.

Systems and devices for temporarily disabling an assailant or other target using disabling flashes of light from a light-emitting device. A tactical lighting system also includes protective eyewear that is paired with the light-emitting device and configured to shutter in synchronization with the pattern of disabling light flashes to protect the wearer’s eyes while disabling an assailant or other target. In one embodiment, the tactical lighting system is modular, with each module being functional independently of the other modules.

A container apparatus can include a container and an insert assembly. The insert assembly can include four elongate members. The four elongate members can include light emitting devices for illuminating the interior of the container and/or temperature altering elements for cooling and/or heating the interior of the container. The container can have a rectangular base and a rectangular sidewall extending upwardly from the base. The sidewall can define four corners of the container, and four elongate recesses can be formed in the sidewall proximate the four corners of the sidewall to receive the elongate light members. The recesses can be sized and shaped to conform to the elongate insert members so that the insert members can be releasably retained within the elongate recesses.

A portable lighting device includes a housing, a light source supported by the housing, and an alkaline battery positioned within the housing and coupled to the light source. The alkaline battery is configured to provide a drive current to the light source, and an intensity of the light source is dependent on the drive current. The portable lighting device also includes an electronic processor positioned within the housing and coupled to the light source and the alkaline battery. The electronic processor is configured to monitor a voltage of the alkaline battery, and execute a ramp-up algorithm to control the drive current based on the voltage of the alkaline battery.

A portable light may comprise: a light body having an internal cavity configured to receive a rechargeable power source, having a keying feature, and having an opening through an exterior wall in a predetermined location relative to the keying feature; and a light source. A rechargeable power source has a charging connector and a keying feature in predetermined locations that when the keying feature thereof engages the keying feature of the internal cavity, the charging connector thereof is aligned with the opening through the exterior wall of the light body. Thus an external source of charging power can be connected through the opening in the exterior wall directly to the charging connector of the rechargeable power source for recharging the rechargeable power source while it is in the portable light.
