  • Publication number: 20070152819
    Abstract: An apparatus, a system and a method secure and/or display a device on a fixture. Additionally, the apparatus, the system and the method attach and/or secure the device and/or a detachable means of the device to the fixture. A housing and/or a cable connects the device and/or the detachable means of the device to an alarm box and/or an alarm board. The housing has an optical sensor and/or a sensor board with a micro-controller and/or a resistor in communication with the micro-controller. The alarm box and/or the alarm board is in communication with an optical sensor and/or the micro-controller via a cable. A power source is in communication with the micro-controller via the cable to control a voltage which delivers from the power source to the device. Furthermore, the cable extends outward with respect to the fixture and/or a retracting means which allows the device and/or the detachable element of the device to be manipulated and/or to be examined by a customer and/or a user.

  • Publication number: 20060034070
    Abstract: A portable utility light has a hollow housing formed of releasably joined front and rear housing halves with a lens opening. A plurality of LEDs is mounted in the housing adjacent the lens opening and positioned in rows and columns. A reflector member has a plurality of cone-shaped apertures each receiving one of the LEDs with a facing reflective surface. A transparent lens member is mounted in the lens opening to permit light generated from the LEDs to exit the housing.

  • Publication number: 20060034091
    Abstract: An LED utility light includes a hollow housing having a wider upper light portion connected to a narrower lower handle portion. The light portion has a lens opening covered by a lens permitting light generated from an array of LEDs to exit the housing. A magnet mounted on the housing releasably retains the utility light on a support surface. The magnet is releasably attached to the housing and can be rotated about an axis generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing.

  • Publication number: 20050276045
    Abstract: An LED utility light has a hollow housing with an upper light portion and a lower handle portion, the housing being formed by a rear shell and a front shell with a lens aperture formed therein. An LED circuit board assembly disposed in the housing has an array of LEDs arranged in rows facing the lens opening. A reflector member is mounted between the circuit board assembly and the lens opening and has a plurality of light apertures formed therein corresponding to the array with each LED being visible through an associated one of the light apertures, the reflector member having a reflective front surface. A lens member is mounted in the lens opening for passing light generated by the LEDs.
