Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) light assembly apparatus includes a housing, a lens stack, and a power supply assembly. The lens stack comprises an LED array of a plurality of LED light sources and a lens positioned in the housing with respect to the LED array to diffuse and focus light transmitted from the plurality of LED light sources and, thereby, provide a light beam out from the housing, the lens being operable to diffuse the transmitted light before focusing the transmitted light. The power supply assembly is operable to supply power to the lens stack and, thereby, power the plurality of LED sources. A method for making the beam of light is also provided.

Abstract: A lens guard for protecting a camera includes a lens-guard housing, a pressurized gas system, and a gas supply. The housing defines an opening and has a transparent protective lens disposed in the opening and having an outer surface exposed to the environment, an upper portion, and a portion defining apertures shaped to respectively receive therein camera support rods operable to mount the lens-guard housing to the camera in front of a lens. The pressurized gas system is operable to remove fluids and debris from the outer surface of the protective lens. The pressurized gas system includes a blow tube mounted to the upper portion of the housing and having a plurality of outlets directed towards the outer surface of the protective lens. The gas supply fluidically connects to the blow tube and is operable to supply pressurized gas to the blow tube and through the outlets thereof.
