Abstract: A portable light may comprise: a light body having an illumination, e.g., white, light source and one or more laser light sources, each light source being selectively energizable for producing light; and a switch for selectively energizing the illumination light source and/or the laser light sources. The one or more laser light sources provide diverging narrow beams of laser light, so as to appear as spaced apart dots or spots of laser light on objects illuminated by the beams of laser light. Because the laser light beams diverge, the distance between the dots is proportional to the distance to the object which the dots illuminate. A TIR optical element may also be disposed in front of the illumination light source for receiving the light produced thereby.

Abstract: A charging device for a portable light includes a receptacle for receiving a portable light therein and a pair of latch arms that are pivotable for engaging a light body of the portable light when the portable light is placed in the receptacle.

Abstract: Flashlight having modular mount system with integral mount element on the flashlight body and/or having programmable rear-facing signal lights.

Abstract: A light comprises: a light body and a laser light source supported by the light body; and a laser light source adjustment arrangement having two adjusting screws at an acute angle to each other. The two adjusting screws bear against the laser light source for adjusting, e.g., the azimuth and elevation of the laser light produced thereby. Alternatively and/or additionally, a tail cap assembly may include a housing shell defining one or more cantilevered supports and a resilient material sealing the housing shell while leaving the actuators flexibly cantilevered. Alternatively and/or additionally, the light may include a mode selecting face cap that is rotatable on the light body for selecting operating modes, including OFF.

Abstract: A firearm-mountable lighting device having an improved switch assembly is shown and described.

Abstract: A portable light includes a base and a light source supported by the base. The base includes at least two deployable legs, wherein the legs cooperate with the base in providing a three point support for the light, e.g., for aiding stability. The at least two deployable legs may include a brace between the legs, wherein the legs when braced cooperate with the base in providing the three point support, e.g., for aiding stability. The portable light may also include a pole on the base and the light source on the pole; and the pole may be a telescoping pole.

Abstract: A flashlight for mounting on a helmet is provided. The flashlight includes a mount that is configured to be readily attachable to the brim of a variety of helmets. The flashlight includes a forward-facing light to provide illumination and a rearward facing light for identifying the user.

Abstract: A light comprises: a mode selecting face cap that is rotatable on the light body for selecting operating modes, including OFF. Complementary electrical contacts on the light body and face cap enable operating modes including, e.g., ON and an optional detent retains the face cap in a rotational position for the OFF mode. Alternatively and/or additionally, the light may include a tail cap assembly including a housing shell defining one or more cantilevered supports and a resilient material for sealing the housing shell while leaving the actuators flexibly cantilevered and/or a laser light source having two adjusting screws at an acute angle to each other.

Abstract: A method for making a lighting device includes: obtaining a circuit board having one or more light emitting devices; obtaining a housing configured to receive the circuit board; placing the circuit board in the housing; then dispensing a conformal coating material onto the circuit board; allowing the dispensed conformal coating material to spread and level; and curing the conformal coating material to form a cover or lens on the circuit board. A lighting device may include: a housing configured to receive a light emitting circuit and a battery; a light emitting circuit including one or more light emitting diodes mounted to a circuit board; a translucent or transparent conformal lens formed to cover the one or more light emitting diodes; and an electrical switch for selectively energizing the light emitting diodes to produce light. The housing may be in a shape resembling a key.

Abstract: An optical diffuser for a light may comprise an optical body having a substantially flat base at one end thereof and a complex lens structure at the opposing end thereof. The complex lens may have a plurality of curved optical surfaces and may produce a beam of light having a non-uniform light intensity. The optical diffuser may be attached to a light by a holder, and the holder may be movable on the light to place the optical diffuser in front of a light source.
