Abstract: A light fixture mount capable of securing an outdoor light to a support surface. The device includes a first support that is adapted to co-act with a second support so as to hold the light fixture in a stable and supported position until the light fixture is secured to the support surface in a permanent relationship. This is accomplished by providing on one of the supports at least one catch that engages the opposing support so as to support the weight of the fixture in a stable position while fasteners are installed to secure the fixture to the support surface.

Abstract: A lens array for directing infrared light or radiation to a passive infrared detector having at least two Fresnel lenses mounted on or incorporated into the lens array. Each of the lenses has a different infrared detection pattern and the lenses on the array are adapted to be selectively indexed so that the infrared detection pattern of the array is altered by the indexing. The indexing may be accomplished by rotating the lens array or by the linear movement of the lens array.

Abstract: A portable worklight having at least two base sections that are operable between open and closed positions. The base sections are pivotally connected and when in a closed position, the base sections nest together. When in an open position, the base sections support said worklight in an upright position by providing opposingly located support sections.

Abstract: The invention is a portable worklight that includes a housing, bulb, support base and a translucent lens covering a light emitting opening defined by the housing. Use of the translucent lens eliminates glare and shadowing by diffusing or randomly scattering light emitted from the bulb. In addition, the housing and support base may be configured such that the housing is rotatably mounted to the support base and the support base is further configured to allow the housing to be folded within the support base. This reduces the overall size of the light when it is placed in a stored position. The light may further include a male electrical jack that is used to provided power to the device by coupling an electrical cord to the jack.

Abstract: An outdoor light using a motion sensor that activates the light when motion is sensed by changes in the infrared signal detected. The device uses a passive infrared detector network to sense infrared and to produce an analog signal in response to said infrared detected which is then passed through an amplifier to a signal controlled oscillator. The signal is converted into a digital signal which is used to detect motion by a logic device.

Abstract: A lighting system mountable to a support surface that comprises a mounting bracket and a light housing having a lens attached thereto. A bulb is located within the lens and the mounting bracket includes a first support point and a second support point. The housing also has a portion adapted to releasably engage the support points found on the mounting bracket in a sequential manner. In so doing, the first support point is engaged which allows the housing to pivot on the first support point. Next, the second support point is engaged which allows the housing to be secured to the mounting bracket in a fixed relationship.

Abstract: A halogen light fixture that houses at least one halogen lamp and is mountable to a support surface. The fixture includes an elongated housing having opposing ends and an interior space in which the halogen light source located. The fixture is mounted to a surface by mounts that secure the fixture to the support surface. The mounts are also opposingly located on the housing and are adapted to releasably engage a plurality of locations on a surface of the housing which causes the housing to tilt is a predetermined manner thereby allowing light to be directionally positioned.

Abstract: A halogen shop light having an elongated housing defining an interior space and mountable to a support surface and which includes an external receptacle. The light also includes a light source comprised of a housing, handle, lens, halogen lamp, and outwardly extending post which terminates in a ball like free end. A second post extending from the housing is also provided. The second post has inner and outer sleeves which are rotatably connected. There is also a socket in the second post which receives the ball-like free end to form an universally rotatable ball and socket connection. Wiring for energizing the lamp and the external receptacle is further provided and the wiring is placed in a channel which travels through the posts and ball.

Abstract: A worklight mounting system having a post extending from a support and a light having a catch. The post is insertable into the catch and is releasably secured within the catch by the coaction between a groove and at least one roller. The coaction there between prevents axial movement while permitting rotational movement there between.

Abstract: A dual purpose light that may be configured as both a floor-type worklight and as an elevated stand light. The present invention provides a light stand which has a threaded post on its terminal end that is adapted to receive a light housing having a pair of pivotal support legs. When the leg are in an open position, they support the light housing on a support surface in a non-elevated position. When in a closed position, the legs are co-extensively arranged with a common aperture that accepts the thread post on the stand for affixing the light housing to the stand for use in an elevated position.

Abstract: A night light which plugs directly into an electrical outlet with a rotatable housing which swivels 360° to direct light in a desired direction. The night light includes a light bulb connected to its power source in a self-contained housing. The night light also includes a light sensor which activates and deactivates the bulb depending upon ambient light levels.

Abstract: A portable worklight having a protective outer casing which encloses the contents of the light. The outer casing includes first and second housings which are operable between open and closed positions. When in a closed position, the working components of the light, including the lens, grill, and light source are enclosed by the two housings. In an open position, the second housing acts as a base which holds the worklight in an upright position.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a motion sensor for use with a light. The device includes a housing having an outer edge and an interior space in which a plurality of sensors are located. The sensors convert infrared into an electronic signal that is processed to detect motion. A lens located is also used which is located on an outer edge of the housing for directing infrared to the sensors which may be generally arranged in a U-shaped pattern to promote a 270 degree motion detection zone. The ends of the lens are recessed into and held in the interior of the housing a spaced distance from the outer edge of said housing so as to detect motion occurring rearward of the sensors.
