A hand holdable light comprises: a light body having a forward portion, a rearward portion, and a central portion between the forward portion and to the rearward portion; a light source proximate a forward end; and a switch for energizing the light source. The rearward portion has a non-circular cross-section; the switch is on the forward portion; and the central portion has a recess opposite the switch. The light is holdable by a hand with a finger or thumb proximate the recess and the other of a finger or thumb proximate the switch. A battery assembly comprises: a battery housing for receiving and connecting a battery; an electrical switch on a first end of the battery housing; and a pattern of electrical contacts on a second end of the battery housing, wherein ones of the electrical contacts are connected to the battery.

A portable scene light capable of multiple configurations is disclosed.

A light assembly includes a base, and a first light source supported by the base. The first light source includes a first light emitting diode configured to emit light in a first direction from the base. The light assembly additionally includes a second light source supported by the base, the second light source including a plurality of second light emitting diodes configured to emit light in a second direction from the base. The second light source is obliquely oriented relative to the base. The light assembly additionally includes a diffuser supported by the base, the diffuser extending upwardly from the base to enclose the first light source. The diffuser diffuses light emitted from the first light source to the surrounding area in an upward and outward direction.

A portable illumination device includes a first component having a light source(s) and a second component coupled to the first component, and the second component includes a curved handle containing one or more battery cells within the curved handle, wherein the light source(s) are powered via the one or more battery cells, and wherein a center of mass of the illumination device is located in the curved handle. By way of example, the brightnesses of the light source(s) are adjustable and the control firmware of the micro-controller inside the portable illumination device is upgradable. In addition, the curved handle's center position may have a foldable hook for hanging the device downward so that it may be used as a lantern or flash light.

An LED light is operated in both continuous steady output and, as desired, a periodic high power burst of light that drives the LED beyond its rated output for short periods. A single cost effective circuit to perform both types of control delivers highly regulated output under both high power burst mode and continuous mode while maintaining maximum feedback resolution in the primary (continuous) output mode. Active elements are used to switch the signals from conventional current sensing elements through a controlled scaling network before joining the rest of the regulating circuit. This results in ability to produce a high efficiency, well-regulated, fast rise and fall, rectangular average peak value waveform, electric current pulse to power a single or combination of LEDs to a high output level, effecting a transition between a constant lighting level and a higher output, pulsed duration lighting level for photographic and motion image capture.

This disclosure relates to a tie-down bracket for a motor vehicle. The tie-down bracket includes a base portion and a removable portion configured to selectively attach to and detach from the base portion. The removable portion is operable as a flashlight when detached from the base portion. A method is also disclosed.

A utility light comprises a main body and a light assembly defined on the main body including a light source disposed within a light housing. The light housing is pivotable and rotatable relative to the main body. The utility light also comprises a handle movably coupled to the main body. The handle is linearly extensible relative to the main body to a position in which an opening is defined between the handle and the main body, such that the opening is configured to receive a workpiece to support the utility light. The handle has a gripping portion defined by an aperture extending through the handle.

An area light includes a housing defining a central axis. A lens is coupled to a first end of the housing and a light assembly is disposed within the lens. The light assembly includes one or more LEDs. A battery is selectively coupled to a battery port and arranged to provide power to the LEDs. A hook is coupled to a second end of the housing. A slot on the second end of the housing is configured to receive a support member that is configured to support the light. A user interface includes a first control member configured to turn the one or more LEDs on and off, and a second control member configured to switch the intensity of the one or more LEDs. A control unit controls power to the one or more LEDs. The light passing through the lens has a range of between 3500 and 5500 lumens.
