Abstract: A flashlight configured to durably provide an effective beam of light for extended periods of time. The flashlight features a high-power, directed LED configured to produce a divergent beam of light that is characterized by an optical directivity angle extending from a vertex point. The flashlight includes a lens having a first portion forming a convergent lens, where the LED is located such that its vertex point coincides with the lens' focal point. The convergent lens is sized and positioned such that substantially all of the directed light from the LED passes through the convergent lens portion to emerge in a first beam of parallel light. The LED emits additional light through a tip. A parabolic reflector has the tip at its focal point to reflects the additional light into a second beam of parallel light that is parallel to and surrounding the first beam, thus forming a single and more efficient useful beam.

Abstract: In the invention, a comparison is carried out within a computer of an item of information relating to a direction of a light beam of a lamp, this item of information being obtained by means of a position sensor, and an item of information relating to an instruction for horizontal displacement of the light beam. If there is not agreement between the two items of information, the computer can then have a degraded operating mode of the lamp adopted by compelling it to orient the light beam downwards in order to remove any risk of dazzling an oncoming driver. To that end, the computer controls a range correction motor in order to bring about a downwards vertical deviation of the light beam.

Abstract: The hitch-locating device has a telescopic stem to which a pedestal is attached at one end and a light is attached at the opposite end. Two such devices are used in conjunction with a hitching assembly having a hitch-cap at the front end of a trailer and a ball connected to a tongue which extends to the rear of a towing vehicle. A magnet is located in each pedestal for removably attaching one hitch-locating device to or adjacent to the ball and the other to or adjacent to the hitch-cap. In use, the devices are placed on or adjacent to the hitch-cap and the ball and the vehicle is backed toward the trailer. The driver of the vehicle watches the two hitch-locating devices in his rear view mirror and he steers the vehicle in order to bring the two devices into alignment. When the vehicle reaches the trailer, one of the devices will be knocked over, either by the tongue at the rear of the vehicle or by the front end of the trailer.
