Abstract: Embodiments of an attachment device for supporting a lighting device or other tool or accessory from a hat or helmet, or a kit including same, are shown and described.

Abstract: A lighting device that includes a body having a front end and a rear end opposing the front end, a light source, and a switch assembly that extends through the rear end of the body. The switch assembly includes a switch button, a sealing boot, and a wave spring. The wave spring is compressed between the switch button and the sealing boot such that the sealing boot covers an end opening of a subframe. The switch button has an actuator extending through the wave spring. The switch assembly is depressible such that the actuator engages the sealing boot and applies pressure to a switch member disposed within the subframe. When the switch member is actuated, a signal is sent to the light source.

Abstract: Improvements in portable lighting devices are shown and described. These improvements include new arrangements for the configuration of battery compartments to allow for different types of battery sources to be used therein, use of electromagnetic position sensing for a mode selection or other type of switch, selector, or dial, and improvements relating to venting of a battery compartment.

Abstract: A mountable light may comprise: a light body having a clamping arrangement and a compartment with an opening at an end thereof; a light head assembly including a source of light, the light head assembly being configured to cover the opening of the compartment; the light body and the light head assembly each having a feature that engages the feature of the other for pivoting the light head assembly relative to the light body, e.g., for covering and uncovering the opening of the compartment; and a latch for retaining the light head assembly against the light body to cover the opening of the compartment. A source of electrical power can be placed into and/or removed from the compartment of the light body when the mountable light is mounted to an object, e.g., a firearm or other object or device, by the clamping arrangement.

Abstract: A lighting device comprising a light source, a power source, a switch assembly, a subframe having an interior volume and a sealing surface that surrounds a first opening in the subframe, the interior volume of the subframe being sized to receive the power source, a membrane that seals to the sealing surface of the subframe, and a vent that acts to prevent liquids from entering the interior volume of the subframe via a second opening, while permitting for gases to be released from the interior volume through the vent.
