Abstract: A portable light including a base having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a longitudinal member extending between the first end and the second end, and a kickstand extending radially outward from the first end. The portable light includes a main body defining a central longitudinal axis. The main body is rotatably coupled to the base at the first end and the second end such that the main body is rotatable relative to the base about the central longitudinal axis. The portable light includes a light head rotatably coupled to the main body, the light head including a light source configured to be selectively powered by a power source.

Abstract: A system and method utilizing two image sensors to simultaneously capture images of a FOV (field of view). The image sensors are arranged along the same optical path for viewing the FOV. The FOV is illuminated by an illuminator of a specific frequency band. An image is captured by the first image sensor which has a filter that passes at least a portion of the light of the frequency band of the illuminator. An image is captured by the second image sensor that has a filter to pass a band of frequencies adjacent to, but generally not including the frequency band of the illuminator. The images may be manipulated, for example, to provide enhanced performance and/or compensate for variables in the system. A processor subtracts the images to produce an image that represents light reflected back from the illuminator, excluding ambient light at the frequency of the illuminator.
