Abstract: A rechargeable light assembly which includes a lamp module and a support rod sub-assembly can provide illumination while installed as a walkway light on the ground. The same lamp module may also be used as an illumination device when the lamp module is removed from the support rod sub-assembly. While the lamp module is mounted on the support rod sub-assembly, a recharging power source attached to the support rod sub-assembly charges an electrical storage device inside the lamp module. Removal of the lamp module from the support rod sub-assembly still permits use of the lamp module as a portable lighting device.

Abstract: An electric candle includes a candle-shaped frame which features both a simulated candle flame and having illumination from the side area of the length of the electric candle. The side illumination is provided using an electroluminescent panel. The panel being actuated via a switch optionally located within a membrane of the panel. A controller circuit is used to provide a sequential actuation of various elements within the electroluminescent panel that results in a display pattern for the electric candle as well as additional illumination.
