  • Publication number: 20100182781
    Abstract: A lighting device is disclosed. The lighting device can be compact and can have a major surface configured to be attached to a substantially flat mounting surface. Within the lighting device, a light bar frame can be rotatable relative to a mounting plate around an axis substantially perpendicular to the major surface. Three or more rotatable light bars can be positioned within the light bar frame. The light bars can include lighting elements (e.g., light-emitting diodes) and can be positioned within the light bar frame such that their rotational axes are coplanar. The rotational axes of the light bars also can be substantially perpendicular to the axis around which the light bar frame rotates relative to the mounting plate. Furthermore, the rotational axes of the light bars can form three or more sides of a polygon (e.g. a triangle).

  • Patent number: 7731386
    Abstract: A lighting device is disclosed. The lighting device can include a light bar and a base having an elongated groove shaped to receive the light bar. The light bar can be rotatable relative to the base around an axis substantially perpendicular to the long axis of the light bar. Rotation of the light bar around this axis can move the light bar into and out of the elongated groove, thus converting the lighting device between compact and expanded configurations. For greater maneuverability, the light bar can include a light source housing portion rotatable around an axis substantially parallel to the long axis of the light bar. The light source housing portion can include two or more light emitting diodes positioned along the long axis of the light bar. The lighting device can be used with a mounting sleeve shaped to receive, for example, one end of the base.

  • Patent number: 7699492
    Abstract: A lighting device is disclosed. The lighting device can be battery-powered and can include one or more LEDs within a light source housing. The device can also include a base connected to the light source housing, and a clip removably connected to the base. The base can act as a stable support for the lighting device when the lighting device is positioned upright over a flat support surface with the clip disconnected from the base. Similarly, the clip (or the clip in conjunction with a portion of the base) can act as a stable support for the lighting device when the lighting device is positioned upright over a flat support surface with the clip connected to the base. The clip can be configured to releasably connect to the base in a first orientation and a second orientation substantially opposite to the first orientation.

  • Publication number: 20100033960
    Abstract: A lighting device is disclosed. The lighting device can include a base, an elongated light bar, and extendable arms connecting the elongated light bar to the base. A long axis of the elongated light bar can be substantially perpendicular to long axes of the extendable arms. The extendable arms can be rotatable relative to the base around a first rotation axis. The elongated light bar can be rotatable relative to the extendable arms around a second rotation axis. The first and second rotation axes can be substantially parallel to the long axis of the elongated light bar. The lighting device can be collapsible into a compact configuration with, for example, the elongated light bar positioned adjacent to a front surface of the base and the extendable arms positioned, respectively, adjacent to side surfaces of the base. The elongated light bar can include two or more light emitting diodes.

  • Publication number: 20090243495
    Abstract: A lighting device is disclosed. The lighting device can be battery-powered and can include one or more LEDs within a light assembly. The device also can include a battery compartment, a first frame element, and a second frame element. The light assembly can be supported by the first frame element and free to tilt on a first axis relative to the first frame element. The light assembly can be free to rotate relative to the second frame element on a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis. The second frame element can be, for example, a plate configured to be fixedly mounted to a surface, such as a wall.

  • Patent number: 7591572
    Abstract: A lighting device is disclosed. The lighting device can include a base, a light source housing, and a connection member connected between the base and the light source housing. The lighting device also can include a rotatable mounting plate. The light source housing can be elongated and can include one or more battery-powered lighting elements, such as light-emitting diodes. The lighting device can be convertible between a compact configuration and an expanded configuration. The light source housing and the connection member together can be rotatable relative to the base around a first axis. The light source housing also can be rotatable relative to the connection member around a second axis substantially parallel to the first axis and a third axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis. Batteries to power the lighting elements can be positioned within a battery compartment of a removable battery pack within the base.
