Abstract: In light of the foregoing background, exemplary embodiments of the present invention provide an improved apparatus, method and system for providing multi-mode illumination. Specifically, exemplary embodiments of the present invention include a lighting apparatus capable of multiple modes of illumination (e.g., infrared illumination mode, visible light illumination mode, spot-light mode, flood-light mode, blended spot and flood light modes, etc.) and battery powered operation. The lighting apparatus further includes a fuel gage module capable of communicating an expected battery life based on a current operating mode of the lighting apparatus and a current state of charge of the battery. Lighting devices structured in accordance with various embodiments of the present invention may be light-weight and portable to improve ease of transport and deployment. Such lighting devices may also include a stable and yet retractable mounting device.

Abstract: The present invention provides a light device comprised of a body, a handle, a user interface, and a positionable arm that is structured to pivotally support a lighting element assembly. The light device may be configured to be portable and carried or otherwise manipulated by a user grasping the handle. In one embodiment, the body of the light device defines first and second support surfaces that are structured to stably support the weight of the light device in first and second illumination positions, respectively.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a device for illuminating a yard sign that uses an efficient beam of light and is adapted to cycle on and off. The illuminating device includes a main body portion, a switch, a control circuit, a power source, at least one arm adjustably attached to the main body portion, and a light head disposed proximate an end of the at least one arm, the light head comprising at least one light emitting diode (LED) assembly. The control circuit is configured to automatically cycle the LED assembly on and off when activated by the switch.
