A multi-spectral flashlight includes a housing, a battery disposed in the housing, a power switch, a LED module including a plurality of LEDs which emit different colors of illumination, a LED driver coupled to the LED module, and an alternate illumination selector switch coupled to the LED driver. The LED driver is configured to drive the LED module in a default illumination mode in response to a first user operation of the power switch and a selected alternate illumination mode in response to a second user operation of the power switch. The LED driver is further configured with a plurality of selectable pre-determined alternate illumination modes which include different colors of illumination. The LED driver advances through the plurality of selectable pre-determined alternate illumination modes in response to operation of the alternate illumination selector switch, allowing selection of one of the plurality of modes as the selected alternate illumination mode.

A multi-purpose, hand-held flashlight has an elongated body with a front body portion having a bottle opener and a front engaging structure. The elongated body also includes a rear body portion with a rear engaging structure that is cooperatively dimensioned to interact with the front engaging structure to releasably couple the front body portion to the rear body portion. The rear body portion includes a second substantially cone shaped extent that includes a recessed cutting element. A lighting element assembly is disposed within the elongated body and includes a lighting element printed circuit board coupled to an emitter assembly, a power source, and a switch. The switch is configured to change the operational mode of the emitter assembly. An attachment mechanism is coupled to the second extent of the rear body portion.

A portable illumination apparatus having a sterilizing function, the illumination apparatus including: a lamp unit which includes an illuminating light element on an interior side of the lamp unit; a base coupled to the lamp unit by a hinge; and a sterilizing light element located on the interior side of the lamp unit. When the lamp unit is in a closed position with the base, the lamp unit and the base meet at a boundary section to form a cylinder with a top and a bottom. Also, the boundary section is substantially mirror-symmetrical and at least partially U-shaped such that the lamp unit has a longest height line and a shortest height line. Additionally, the illuminating light element is arranged on or along the longest height line and the hinge is formed about the shortest height line.

A hand-held spotlight, having: a housing provided with an accommodating cavity; a power supply box detachably disposed in the accommodating cavity; a switch base connected to the housing and provided with a first clamping block; and a cover body hinged with the housing, wherein the cover body is capable of covering an opening of the accommodating cavity to confine the power supply box within the accommodating cavity, and the cover body is provided with a second clamping block, which is clamped with the first clamping block when the cover body covers the opening of the accommodating cavity, thereby restricting the flipping of the cover body.

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.

An indicator circuit for an emergency light, including: a charging circuit, in connection with a positive terminal of a lithium battery and configured to charge the lithium battery; a battery protection circuit, in connection with a negative terminal of the lithium battery and configured to provide protection against overvoltage and overcurrent of an electrical signal output by the lithium battery; a main control circuit, in connection with the negative terminal of the lithium battery and configured to compare the electrical signal output by the lithium battery with a reference voltage signal and output a control signal; and a drive circuit, in connection with the main control circuit and an indicator light, and configured to drive the indicator light to illuminate according to the control signal and turn off the indicator light in case of abnormal conditions.

A handheld flashlight includes a hollow cylinder having a first end and a second end, and a rechargeable battery therein. The handheld flashlight further includes a lamp head with a light source, a window breaker, a charging port and a discharging port, selectively connected to an external power source or an external load; a connection port, selectively connected to positive and negative terminals of a vehicle battery through external cables; and a management circuit, selectively applying power from the battery to one or more of the light source, the discharging port, and the connection, and selectively charging the battery from the external power source through the charging port; wherein the handheld flashlight is of such compact size and low weight as to be suitable for single-handed portable operation by a user.

Portable lighting devices, systems and methods are provided. The portable lighting devices may include a light source, a rechargeable battery, a battery charging and control circuitry, a power connector port and a wireless communication circuitry. The battery charging and control circuitry may be configured to control transmission of current from the rechargeable battery to the light source, and transmission of current from the rechargeable battery through the power connector port and onto an external device. The transmission of current to the external device may occur when the rechargeable battery has a charge capacity above a predetermined threshold level and terminates when the charge capacity of the rechargeable battery is at or below the predetermined threshold level. The wireless communication circuitry may be configured to transmit a battery condition information of the rechargeable battery to an external communication device through a wireless link.

A handheld flashlight is provided. The handheld flashlight includes a hollow cylinder having a first end and a second end, wherein the hollow cylinder is configured to receive therein and mount thereon a rechargeable battery; a lamp head, connected the first end of the hollow cylinder and comprising a light source; a window breaker, configured to break windows for emergency vehicular escape; a charging-discharging port, selectively connected to an external power source or an external load; a connection port, selectively connected to positive and negative terminals of a vehicle battery through external cables; and a management circuit, selectively applying power from the battery to the light source, the charging-discharging port, and the connection, and selectively charging the battery from the external power source through the charging-discharging port; wherein the handheld flashlight is of such compact size and low weight as to be suitable for single-handed portable operation by a user.
