HANDHELD MOBILE LIGHT SOURCE
In one aspect, a handheld lighting system is disclosed, which comprises a handheld housing extending from a proximal end to a distal end, and a light module disposed at least partially in the housing. The handheld lighting system further includes a removable and replaceable power module that is coupled to the housing (e.g., it is at least partially disposed within the housing) and is electrically coupled to the light module, e.g., through a pair of electrical leads, for providing electrical power thereto. Light intensity from the light module may be controlled from a knob on the power module. Various adapters can allow the lighting system to attach to a multitude of medical, industrial, dental or veterinary endoscopes or other instruments.
WORK LIGHT
A work light comprises an elongate circuit board having a length extending between a connection end and a free end and a width extending between a left side and a right side. A light emitting diode is mounted on the elongate circuit board. An elongate protective cover has a length extending between a mounting end and a free end, and generally surrounds at least most of said elongate circuit board. The protective cover may comprise a suctioning tube having a fluid ingress and a fluid egress. The suctioning tube is connectable at the mounting end to a source of suction.
Head-mounted LED light with integrated, adjustable iris
A head-mountable light includes a user-adjustable spot size. Light from an LED travels through beam-forming optical elements supported at the front opening of a housing to form a spot of light at a working distance. An adjustable iris, situated between the LED and the beam forming optical elements, enables a user to adjust the iris and vary the size of the aperture and the spot size of the light at the working distance. The manually operated iris size control may comprise a rotatable ring on the exterior of the housing, and the plurality of beam-forming optical elements may comprise a singlet lens followed by a doublet lens. The light from the LED strikes the beam-dispersing element directly without an intervening condensing optical element (i.e., condensing lens). The assembly further includes a mechanical connector adapted to couple the housing to a pair of eyeglass frames, headband or other head-worn structure.

Systems and methods for an efficient, rechargeable glowstick
A glowstick includes a lighting module, the lighting module including a light source having a primary direction of emission. The glowstick further includes a polymer rod, the polymer rod interfaced with the lighting module, the polymer rod having a length, a depth, and a width, wherein the length is greater than the depth and the length is greater than the width, the polymer rod proximate to the light source such that the primary direction of emission of the light source is aligned with the length of the polymer rod.
Utility drop light with automatic shielding light tube
A utility drop light having a shield for directing light in a particular direction and preventing the light from shining in the user's eyes is provided according to the invention. The utility drop light includes a translucent light tube having a first end and a second end, a light source positioned within the translucent light tube between the first and second ends thereof, and a light shield extending from the first end of the translucent light tube to the second end of the translucent light tube. The light shield is positioned between the translucent light tube and the light source. The light shield is rotatable relative to the light tube and is weighted such that the light shield is always positioned above the light source relative to the earth.
Flexible lighting apparatus
A lighting apparatus comprising a light emitting diode (LED) arrangement encased in a blanket-like body is provided. The blanket-like body is constructed in a manner allowing for the lighting apparatus to be rolled up for ease of storage and transport.
Landscape lighting systems having LED lamps that enable installers to rapidly identify lumen levels and beam spreads
A landscape lighting system includes a first LED lamp including a first lamp body and an optic having at least one LED for generating light, and a second LED lamp including a second lamp body and an optic having at least one LED for generating light. The first lamp body has a first color for indicating a first lumen level for the light generated by the first LED lamp, and the second lamp body has a second color that is different than the first color for indicating a second lumen level for the light generated by the second LED lamp. The second lumen level is different than the first lumen level. The optics of the first and second LED lamps have transparent covers with beam angle spread indicators provided on the respective transparent covers. At least one of the optics has a color temperature indicator on a transparent cover.
EMBEDDABLE MODULE FOR HIGH OUTPUT LED
In one aspect, a light module is disclosed, which includes a housing providing a hollow chamber extending from a proximal end to a distal end, and a lens positioned in the hollow chamber, where the lens has a lens body comprising an input surface for receiving light from a light source and an output surface through which light exits the lens body, said lens further comprising a collar at least partially encircling said lens body. The light module further includes at least one shoulder on which the lens collar can be seated for positioning the lens within the housing. A light source, e.g., an LED, is coupled to the hollow chamber, e.g., at its proximal end, for providing light to the lens.
