A lighting device including a light source, an input device, a power source configured to provide power to the lighting device, and one or more electronic processors. The one or more electronic processors are configured to receive an input signal to illuminate the light source from the input device and determine a first state-of-charge of the power source. The electronic processors are further configured to determine a first illumination output value based on the determined first state of charge and initiate a first ramp-down operation of the light source from the first illumination output value. The first ramp-down operation is configured to reduce an output of the light source as a percentage of the first illumination intensity over time. The electronic processors are also configured to continue the first ramp-down operation until the output of the light source reaches a predetermined illumination intensity.

A work light comprised of a removable band that is configured to attach to a user's wrist and forearm. The band includes a first attachment assembly for holding a rechargeable first flashlight such that the first flashlight illuminates around a user's index finger. The first flashlight includes an internal rechargeable first battery and a first pair of external battery contacts for applying recharging energy to the first flashlight. The work light also includes a charger for applying recharging energy to the first pair of external battery contacts. The charger has a first socket for receiving the first flashlight and a first pair of charger contacts for electrically connecting to the first pair of external battery contacts. Preferably the band holds a rechargeable second flashlight so as to direct its illumination toward the little finger. Then, the charger includes a socket for charging the second flashlight.

Light assemblies comprise a housing having a chamber, one or more light emitting elements connected with the housing, a transparent cover, and one or more reflectors positioned adjacent the light emitting element. The one or more light emitting elements are interposed between the transparent cover and the one or more reflectors, and the one or more light emitting elements and one or more reflectors operate to provide a multi-directional field of illumination that is 180 degrees or more, e.g., between about 180 to 270 degrees. The transparent cover may have a convex outer surface to facilitate light transmission in side oriented directions. The light assembly may include switches or controls for on/off and/or dimming functions. An example light assembly comprises three light emitting elements in the form of LEDs, and includes three reflectors, wherein the LEDs and reflectors are configured to produce the desired field of illumination.

A portable lighting product with a lock out mode of operation in which the portable lighting product cannot be turned on solely by a single actuation of a user-actuated switch until a sequence of operations is performed to unlock the user-actuated switch and turn off the lock out mode. Entry into the lock out mode of operation can be signaled by visual, audio or tactile signals. The sequence of operations can be activation of the user-actuated switch along with a designated movement of the principal axis of projection from a light source or activation of the user-actuated switch a plurality of times within a preselected interval.

A light system is provided that can be removably coupled to a layer of material, such as clothing, to provide hands-free illumination for tasks and activities (e.g., while walking, running, reading, writing) at low level light conditions. The light system includes a light module with one or more light sources, a power source and one or more magnetic elements or magnetically responsive modules. The light system also includes a backing plate removably coupleable to the light module so that the layer of material is interposed between the light module and the backing plate. The backing plate has one or more magnetic elements or magnetically responsive modules. When removably coupled to said layer of material, the light module and backing plate remain substantially in place even when the layer of material is under motion.

A portable medical illuminator is configured for attachment to a medical device wherein the illuminator includes an illuminator housing and a light source disposed in relation to the housing. A portable rechargeable power supply is connected to the light source, and an inductive charging coil is disposed within the illuminator housing to enable contactless charging of the contained portable power supply.

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.

The invention relates to a charging station with a charging contact device (20) and an accumulator-operated flashlight (10) with charging contacts (14, 15), arranged transverse to the flashlight longitudinal axis and insulated with respect to one another, on the flashlight housing casing, which, when the accumulators are being recharged, bear electrically conductively against charging contact points (28, 29) of the charging contact device (20). According to the invention the charging station is characterised in that each of the two charging contacts (14, 15) extends on the flashlight housing over a circular arc of <180°, in that the charging contact device (20) has a base body (21) with a contact face (25) and two side bodies (23, 24) with faces on which charging contact points (28, 29) are arranged, and in that the side bodies (23, 24) each contain a magnet (27), the magnetic force field of which is able to fix the positioning of the flashlight (10) in a stable and functionally reliable manner when the accumulators are being recharged.

A charger cradle for recharging a rechargeable lighting device is described. The cradle may include two prongs that flex outwards to allow a lighting device to be inserted into the cradle. After the lighting device is fully inserted, the prongs resume a normal position to exert an inward force on the lighting device to secure it in place. The cradle may also include two moveable cradle arms, in lieu of two prongs, to allow a spring mechanism within the device to motivate the moveable cradle arms to grasp a lighting device when the lighting device is inserted into the rechargeable lighting device.

A lighting device includes a lighting module. The lighting module includes a module frame and a circuit board interconnected with the module frame. The lighting module further includes a button mounted on the module frame and interconnected with the circuit board, the button located in a recess of the module frame, such that the button is actuatable by a protrusion of a device into which the lighting module is inserted. The lighting device includes a device body, the device body including a second recess for receiving the lighting module. The lighting device further includes a cap, the cap formed to fit with the device body and close the second recess when the lighting module is in the second recess.
