Abstract: A waterproof portable lamp (10) comprises a housing (12); a light source (14) including a plurality of LEDs, a power supply (16) for said light source (14) and a switch (18) for energizing said light source (14) contained within said housing (12). An opening (20) is formed in said housing (12) permitting egress of light when said light source (14) is energized. A flexible, transparent cover (22) is peripherally sealed to said opening (20) in a watertight manner and a switch activator (24) is substantially centrally located on and fixed to said flexible, transparent cover (22). The lamp (10) is activated be depressing the center of the flexible cover (22), which moves the switch activator (24) into contact with the switch (18).

Abstract: A light (10) comprising: a cup-shaped, substantially rigid base (12) having a circumferential ridge (14) on the outer wall (16) of the base (12); a battery (18) having first and second poles (20, 22) within the base (12); a PCB (24) overlying the battery (18) within the base (12), the PCB (24) having a plurality of apertures (26) therein, at least one of the apertures (26) containing a LED (28) having first and second lead-ins (20a, 22a), a first of the lead-ins (20a) being electrically connected to the first pole (20) via a connector (30); switch means (32) associated with the PCB (24) electrically connecting the second lead-in (22a) to the second pole (22); and a cup-shaped, flexible, translucent cover (34) on the base, the wall (36) of the cover (34) engaging the outer wall (16) and the circumferential ridge (14).

Abstract: A portable light (10) has a housing (12). The housing (12) has at least one metallic area (14) capable of attracting a magnet, a magnet (16) operatively associated with the at least one metallic area (14) via magnetic attraction, a sub-assembly (18) within the housing (12) comprised of a light source (20), a power supply (22) including at least one battery (22a) for illuminating the light source (20) and a switch (24) for connecting the power supply to the light source. A removable cover (26) is attached to the housing (12).

Abstract: A portable light (10) has a rigid base (12), a power supply (14) having first and second poles (16, 18) within the base and a light source (20) positioned in the base (12). The light source (20) has first and second lead-ins (22, 24). The first lead-in (22) is in contact with the first pole (16) of the power supply (14). Electrical isolation means (26) isolates the second lead-in (24) from the second pole (18) of the power supply (14); and a flexible cover (28) is fitted to the base (12). The cover (28) includes at least one portion (30) that is contactable with the second lead-in (24) whereby pressure on the at least one portion (30) defeats the electrical isolation means (26) and causes a connection between the second lead-in (24) and the second pole (18) of the power supply (14) to actuate the light source (20) while the pressure is being applied.
