The first magnifier lens is disposed in a path of the light beam. The second magnifier lens is disposed in the path of the light beam. The adjusting mechanism includes first and second male members and first and second sleeve members. The first sleeve member is associated with the first male member and the first magnifier lens. The second sleeve member is associated with the second male member and the second magnifier lens.

Abstract: A lighting device includes a head assembly, a battery pack, and a light housing. The light housing includes at least one light source and a diffuser lens. The diffuser lens is pivotably coupled to the light housing. The diffuser lens is configured to pivot between a first position in which the diffuser lens diffuses light emitted by the at least one light source and a second position in which a substantial amount of the light emitted by the at least one light source is not diffused by the diffuser lens.

Abstract: A headlamp lighting device is provided that allows for the adjustment of the size of the light beam and forward heat dissipation. The lighting device includes a housing, a light source provided on the housing for generating a light beam, an inner thermally conductive heat sink, and an outer heat sink member. The inner thermally conductive heat sink is disposed in thermal relationship with the light source. The outer heat sink member is in thermal heat transfer relationship with the inner heat sink and disposed generally forward of the rear end of the housing for directing thermal energy generated by the light source towards the front end of the housing.

Abstract: A display package includes a front cover having a first bulbous portion defining a flashlight retaining cavity. A display portion is adjacent the first bulbous portion. A container includes a first side wall and a second side wall, wherein the first side wall of the container is connected to the display package by a living hinge. At least one battery is disposed inside the container and at least one flashlight is disposed inside the first bulbous portion.

Abstract: A lighting apparatus includes an electrical contact that receives power from an external power source, a battery receiving region, and a battery backed light source. A user interface receives an input indicative of a first desired operation of the lighting apparatus when power is available from the AC power source and a second desired operation of the battery backed light source in the absence of power from the AC power source. Electrical circuitry uses battery power to operate the battery backed light source in the absence of power from the AC power source based on the second desired operation.

Abstract: A lighting device includes a housing, multiple light emitting diodes (LEDS), and multiple magnifier lenses. The multiple LEDS and the multiple magnifier lenses are located in the housing. Each of the magnifier lenses corresponds to a different one of the LEDS, and there are less magnifier lenses than LEDS. Each LED that has a corresponding magnifier lens is arranged with respect to its magnifier lens so that substantially all of the light emitted by the LED only traverses its corresponding magnifier lens. At least one of the LEDS emits light that does not traverse any of the multiple magnifier lenses.

Abstract: A lighting system is provided that includes at least one lighting device, at least one connector, and a plurality of external power sources. The at least one lighting device includes at least one lighting source, and an internal power source applying a first electrical current to illuminate the at least one lighting element, wherein the internal power source supplies the first electrical current. The at least one connector electrically connects to the at least one lighting device. The plurality of external power sources include at least first and second external power sources that are adapted to be electrically connected to the at least one lighting device by the at least one connector.

Abstract: An electrochemical cell is provided with an enhanced pressure relief vent formed in a closed end of the cell container that allows for effective venting of gas from the closed end of the container. The cell includes a container having a first end, a second end, a side wall extending between the first and second ends, and an end wall extending across the first end. The cell has a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an aqueous alkaline electrolyte, all disposed in the container. The cell further includes a pressure relief vent mechanism having an offset C-shaped reduced thickness groove formed in the end wall of the container. A cover can be welded to the closed end wall of the container over the pressure relief vent mechanism.

Abstract: The present invention provides a lighting device having a body and a plurality of light source assemblies within a light housing. The light source assemblies include a light emitting diode disposed in tubular lens. The light housing is attached to an edge of the body.

Abstract: A lighting device in the form of a handheld flashlight is provided that includes a plurality of light sources located within a swivel head pivotally connected to a main body. The main body has a yoke portion connected to the swivel head by a head attachment mechanism that includes locking detents to lock the swivel head into one of a plurality of positions. The lighting device also has a tail cap that engages the main body by way of a cam lock wheel to provide a closure to the battery compartment. The lighting device further includes multiple modes of operation having a plurality of switches that provide control in various lighting modes. The lighting device is configured to be powered by one number of batteries supplying a first voltage output and is configured to be powered by a second different number of batteries supplying a second different voltage output, and the batteries are installed in battery compartments and include spring biased contacts for ensuring proper orientation of the batteries.

Abstract: A portable lighting device, such as a flashlight, having a rotatable band disposed around the exterior of the flashlight is disclosed. Rotational movement of the band is converted to lateral movement of the light emitting element within the flashlight. The structural integrity of the flashlight is not compromised when the rotatable band is rotated around the flashlight to adjust the width of the projected pattern of light.

Abstract: A battery charger (100) includes a base (102) which selectively receives first (104a) and second (104b) battery pods. The battery pods (104a, 104b), which are adapted to receive one or more batteries (212) for charging, have a form factor which facilitates the handling of the pods (104) and the batteries (212) received therein. Charging energy may be allocated between the pods (104) as a function of the temporal sequence in which the pods (104) are received by the base (102). Charging energy may also be allocated among the batteries (212) so that the batteries (212) are substantially charged at about the same time.
