Abstract: An integrated charging receptacle including a ring body having an inner ring wall and an outer ring wall, a groove between the inner ring wall and outer ring wall for securing a wire or cable and a USB receptacle having a receptacle jack. The USB receptacle is disposed on a portion of the ring body and faces outward from the outer wall of the ring body. The ring body may be secured around a cup holder mountable in a surface or around an instrument gauge in a surface. The ring body may be secured around a dashboard instrument. The integrated charging receptacle may include a second USB receptacle having a second receptacle jack. The USB receptacle may be powered through an electrical wire passing through a portion of the body groove. The integrated charging receptacle may include at least two additional USB receptacles. The ring body may be substantially translucent.

Abstract: A light assembly and method for installing the same on a surface in a wet or outdoor environment, e.g., on a marine vessel or land recreational or other vehicle, such as marine light assemblies, without need for specialized tools or mounting assemblies. The light assembly comprises a flexible diffusion housing having a first portion and a second portion, with a groove therebetween. A light element is disposed within the interior of the first portion, and light produced by the light element is diffused by the first and second portions prior to emission outwardly from the second portion. After installation, only the second portion of the light assembly is visible on the marine vessel or land recreational surface.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing reflective lighting. The apparatus includes a light source for providing an initial light wave having first light wave characteristics and a surface having a reflective material which alters the characteristics of the light emanating from the light source, providing a secondary light having second light wave characteristics. The first light wave may not be visible to the human eye and the secondary light may be visible to the human eye. The first light wave may include invisible frequencies which are converted to visible light frequencies upon striking the reflective material.

Abstract: An angled light for mounting on a surface of a marine vessel, the angled light having a base member including a first end including an opening for securing power supply wires in the angled light and a second end substantially perpendicular the first end. The angled light includes a light source disposed in the second end of the base member and a securing ring disposed on the first end of the base member for securing the first end of the base member to a surface opening on the marine vessel. The securing ring is engagable with the base member first end.

Abstract: A lighted ring for a post comprising a mounting ring securable on a column of the post, the column extending upwardly from a post base, a cylindrical light transmission module securable to the mounting ring and a light source disposed adjacent the light module. The light source provides illumination of an area adjacent the post through the chamfer. The light transmission module may include an inner wall, a catch spaced axially outward from the inner wall the catch having an inwardly facing protrusion along an upper portion of the catch, a groove extending the entire circumference of the light transmission module between the inner wall and the catch, an outer wall spaced axially outward from the catch and a chamfer along a bottom edge of the light transmission module and a light module slot extending along a portion of the inner wall.

Abstract: An arched light source for illuminating an area comprising a base and an arched support extending from the base. The arched support has an upper edge corresponding to an arc having a center below the base and a lower edge meeting the base corresponding to a chord of the arc. The arched support includes a groove along the upper edge of the arched support. The arched light support includes a light source disposed in the groove and a transparent lens extending the length of the groove and sealing the light source within the groove. The light source may be a plurality of discrete LEDs spaced a distance apart, the plurality of LEDS extending substantially the entire length of the groove. The color emitted by the light source may be controllable by the user. The arched support may be opaque. The base may be mountable to a marine vessel.
