Lamp and assembling method thereof
A lamp includes at least two illumination parts and a lamp body. The lamp body has an upper portion, a lower portion corresponding to the upper portion and at least two optical cavities extended between the upper portion and the lower portion. The illumination parts are respectively arranged in the optical cavities. The lamp has a surrounding lighting state and a side lighting state. The lighting states of the lamp may be switched between the surrounding lighting state and the side lighting state through controlling the operating modes of the illumination parts in the optical cavities respectively.
LED lighting element and method of manufacturing the same
Methods and apparatus are presented for retaining a dome lens in a lighting element that provides a projection of light forming a substantially uniform bright light on a surface a known distance from the lighting element. The lighting element includes a dome lens that is removably positioned proximal to a light source, such that the light source is retained at a location within a focal length of a projection lens and at or within a focal length of the dome lens. The dome lens magnifies the light outputted by the light source, such that the projected light is brighter than the light generated by the light source.
Multi-directional flashlight
There is provided a hand held flashlight having different intensity and direction of projected light controlled by switches which function independently or pently.
Dielectric collimator with a rejecting center lens
A dielectric collimator (1) comprising a center lens (3), the center lens comprising a light input surface (31) and a light exit surface (32), the light exit surface (32) being convex and substantially hemispherical, and the light input surface (31) comprising a central surface section (312) forming a light transmitting portion of the center lens adapted for receiving incoming light (5) and transmitting it to be emitted from the light exit surface, and a peripherally extending, annular outer surface section (311) being substantially plane and adapted for redirecting incoming light (5) in such a manner that the redirected light (7) undergoes TIR at the light exit surface and is emitted back out of the light input surface.
Portable computer battery indicator
A portable computer may include battery indicator light structures. Battery status information in the portable computer may be presented to a user using an array of light-emitting diodes or other light emitters. Light-emitting diodes may be mounted on a printed circuit board. A stiffener may provide the printed circuit board with rigidity. The printed circuit board may include a connector that allows the board to be connected to a main logic board. A switch on the printed circuit board may be actuated by a power button on the portable computer. An opaque member with an array of holes may be used to reduce light bleed between adjacent light-emitting diodes. Diffusing plastic may be mounted within the array of holes. Bumps in the diffusing plastic may mate with corresponding holes on a portable computer housing.
Flashlight
A flashlight for the illumination of an object and viewing the object through the flashlight. The flashlight includes a housing having an inner side forming a channel that extends between a first end of the housing and a second end of the housing. The flashlight includes one or more light sources that are able to emit light therefrom and at a desired target. A power supply is operably connected to a control such that they operate the one or more lights. The inner side of the housing extends past a forwardmost edge of an outer side of the housing at the second end to form a shoulder. The shoulder extends about the housing and, in one embodiment, the one or more lights are disposed thereon. In this way, the one or more lights directly illuminate a target without causing shadows to form from the viewing perspective.
Flashlight with integrated self-defense device
A device having a flashlight and spray implement. The device including a lens part disposed proximate a front portion of the device. A discharge trigger implement is configured to slide longitudinally along with a spray canister to discharge the contents of the spray canister. A discharge arm portion operably slides the spray canister upon a force applied to the discharge trigger implement. A canister access screw implement is configured to pull said spray canister forward, and wherein the canister access screw implement is further configured to allow a removal and replacement of the spray canister. A lens nozzle part engages a center portion of the lens part to allow the contents of the spray canister to shoot out of the center portion of the lens part. A safety button implement is configured to guard against an accidental discharge of the contents of the spray canister.
PORTABLE LANTERN LIGHT WITH MULTIPLE OPERATING MODES
A portable lantern light is configured to be operated in a range of selectable operational modes to provide flexible illumination solutions in both stationary and portable situations. The lantern light includes an elongated central body with a plurality of external longitudinal ribs, longitudinal channels positioned between a pair of external ribs, a lighting element residing within the channel, and a lens overlying the lighting element that acts as a primary optic. A power source that includes a battery cartridge is removably inserted within a receiver of the central body. The lantern light includes an operating mode selector assembly to control which lighting elements are illuminated during operation of the portable lantern light, and a luminosity selector assembly to selectively control the lumen output (brightness) of the lighting elements. The lantern light also includes a retractable stabilization assembly that can be deployed to stabilize the light on a support surface.
SAFETY LIGHT
The present disclosure provides a safety light. The safety light includes a top housing; a printed circuit board assembly coupled to the top housing, the printed circuit board assembly having a top surface and a bottom surface; a plurality of light elements coupled to the bottom surface of the printed circuit board assembly, the printed circuit board assembly programmed to energize the plurality of light elements following depression of a first control button; a lens coupled to the bottom surface of the printed circuit board assembly and the plurality of light elements, the lens having a first angled reflective surface and a plurality of side surfaces; and a bottom housing coupled to the lens.
Illumination apparatus having thermally isolated heat sinks and dual light sources
An apparatus includes a light emitting diode (LED) chip; a laser light source; a front heat sink including first and second holes; a lens arranged to extend over the first hole; a back heat sink; and an insulating circuit board including a third hole, the circuit board sandwiched between the heat sinks such that the second hole and the third holes are aligned. The LED chip is mounted in a surface of the circuit board facing the front heat sink, and arranged such that it aligns with the first hole and the lens. The laser light source is provided in the back heat sink and arranged such that it extends at least partially through the second and third holes.
