  • Patent number: 11148741
    Abstract: Methods, systems, devices and apparatus for unlocking a bicycle light. The bicycle light includes a power socket configured to receive a charging device. The bicycle light includes a light having multiple states. The multiple states include a locked state, an unlocked state, a powered on state, and a powered off state. The light is configured to illuminate when the in the powered on state. The bicycle light includes a controller. The controller is coupled to the power socket and the light. The controller is configured to determine that the light is in the locked state. The controller is configured to detect electrical power from the power socket. The controller is configured to switch the light from the locked state to the unlocked state when the electrical power is detected.

  • Patent number: 10100989
    Abstract: A dual bicycle headlight and taillight of a compact and lightweight configuration can be mounted on a bicycle handlebars as a headlight to project white light from a white light emitting diode and, alternatively, mounted on a rear of a bicycle as a taillight to project red light from a red light emitting diode. The projected light in both modes of a headlight or a taillight will be parallel to a support surface that the bicycle will traverse. A single flexible mounting strap is rotatably attached to a common light housing to provide a secure mounting of the headlight and taillight modes of operation by the same light housing.

  • Patent number: 9113504
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a portable lighting device having an external switch configured to allow a user to control and/or configure the functionality portable lighting device while the light is in use and without the need for extra equipment. In one aspect, a portion of a switch may be configured to control some functionality provided by the light, while another portion of the switch may be configured to control the remaining functions. In another aspect, the circuit board may include a microcontroller which includes an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM). Advantageously, the EEPROM may function to save any settings and/or modes configured by the user such that the settings/modes do not need to be reset after the portable lighting device is turned off and then back on.

  • Patent number: 8651714
    Abstract: A portable lighting device for illuminating a path engaged by a user, or enabling the user to be seen by other cyclists, pedestrians, motorists and the like is provided. Advantageously, the portable lighting device is small (configured to fit in the user's palm), light (configured to be comfortably attached to a user's bicycle frame, helmet or carried in the hand of the user) and durable (configured to be usable in any weather condition). In addition, the light is conveniently powered by an attachable battery pack and may store variable brightness and mode settings for versatile usage. Moreover, the light utilizes a EEPROM to store the user re-configured settings in conjunction with adjustably bright high-brightness LEDs ranging upwards of 3000 lumens to provide the user with an excellent lighting tool.
