Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) directional light bar assembly for use on a motorcycle includes a substantially rigid light bar having opposite ends. Apertures are defined generally adjacent each of the opposite ends by a rear-facing surface of the light bar. A lens is sized to fit at least partially within each aperture such that a surface of each lens is substantially flush with the rear-facing surface of the light bar. An LED pod including a plurality of LEDs is disposed adjacent each lens. Each LED includes a selected number of LED running lights wired to emit light during operation of the motorcycle, and a selected number of LED brake lights wired to emit light during operation of the motorcycle only when a motorcycle brake is applied. A retention plate or member is interconnected to the light bar generally adjacent each opposite end, and at least partially captures each LED pod and lens between the retention member and the light bar.

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.

A second copper plate is connected to a second main wire. The hollow outer casing has an inner annular rib and two notches. The socket shell is inserted in the hollow outer casing. The inner annular rib blocks an upper face of the socket shell. The first and the second copper plates are inserted in the grooves to contact the conductive plate. A secondary wire passes through the respective notches and the respective slots.

Abstract: A rearview mirror with lighting assembly for use in a vehicle, has a molded case adapted to support lights for illuminating portions of the vehicle interior, to support electrical switches, wiring, and electrical connectors, to support optical lenses for directing light, and to support a mirror element. The case includes ventilation around the lenses, past the lights, and out of the case for dissipating heat from the lighting. The electrical switches and connectors are mounted into the case. A preferred light arrangement provides illumination of areas below and outwardly of the case ends with targeted lighting areas in the lap areas of persons seated in the front seats of the vehicle, without allowing light to be directed toward the vehicle windshield or instrument panel to cause glare. A resilient sealing material is adhered to the back of the lens element for sealing with the case to prevent or minimize the emission of uncontrolled, stray light from the case.

A flexible jacket covers and encloses the electrical switch, housing and batteries and is adapted to be squeezed and pressed inwardly to resiliently bend the arm into electrical contact with the batteries and thereby illuminate the lamp. The housing and switch are adapted to be machine assembled.

Abstract: A vehicle head lamp comprises: a light source bulb; a reflector made of resin, having a reflective surface for reflecting light from the light source forward; a shade for controlling the shading of the light from the light source bulb; a boss provided with the reflector, for mounting the shade such that the boss is projected forward from the reflective surface; and a wall-thickness reducing portion having a hole extending forward from the back of the reflector inside the boss.

Abstract: A lighting device employing a source of light which emanates to a first reflector which is positioned outwardly from such source. A second reflector at least partially surrounds the light source and is formed in spaced relationship with the first reflector to create a first gap between the first and second reflectors. The second reflector includes an opening which permits light from the source to pass to the first reflector and outwardly from the lighting device through the first gap. A light interacting element is formed outwardly from the source and is spaced from the second reflector to form a second gap. The second reflector is, thus, positioned between the first reflector and the light interacting element. Light interacting element further receives light from the source and either reflects or diffuses light outwardly from the lighting device.
