Abstract: A Respirator-Attachable Lamp Unit. The lamp unit is attachable to a conventional respirator mask or gas mask without obstructing the mask or modifying its operation. The lamp unit, once installed, provides the user with a hands-free light source. The lamp unit may be formed in a horseshoe-shaped housing having a translucent front lens surrounding the speech module of the mask. An external power source may be provided for extended use situations. A user is able to select from a variety of wavelengths for the light emitted from the lamp unit. LED light elements are one type of light source employed by the lamp unit.

Abstract: A Combination Lamp and Wireless Network Access System, and a related Method for creating a Local Mesh Network. The device and method includes a combination lighting lamp and mesh network node. The combination lamp/node assembly is available both as original equipment, and as a retrofit kit for legacy lamps. The lamp portion of the combination lamp/node provides area lighting through a lens located in the housing within which the combination lamp/node is housed. The node portion of the assembly provides sophisticated mesh network functionality such that the placement of a series of devices of the present invention should provide a high quality, wireless “mesh” computer network. The lamp/node assembly may optionally provide local security/surveillance functionality, including cameras and sensors in order to enable typical security system functionality.
