Abstract: A lighting device in the form of a handheld flashlight includes a plurality of light sources, a housing, a three-position switch, and a second switch. The plurality of light sources may include a visible light source and a non-visible light source. The three-position switch selects one of a plurality of modes, for example, a visible light enabled mode, an infrared mode, and a lockout mode. The second switch is operative to control one of the plurality of light sources based on the selected operating mode.

Abstract: A lighting device in the form of a handheld flashlight is provided that includes a plurality of light sources, a housing, a three position switch, and a second switch. The plurality of light sources may include a visible light source and a non-visible light source. The three position switch selects one of a plurality of modes, for example, a visible light enabled mode, an infra red mode, and a lockout mode. The second switch is operative to control one of the plurality of light sources based on the selected operating mode.

Abstract: A lighting device is provided that includes a light source, housing, end cap and a pivoting connection between the housing and the end cap. A locking mechanism engages the housing and the end cap to hold the end cap against the housing. The locking mechanism includes a cam surface. The housing includes a battery compartment.

Abstract: A lighting device includes a head assembly, a battery pack, and a light housing. The light housing includes at least one light source and a diffuser lens. The diffuser lens is pivotably coupled to the light housing. The diffuser lens is configured to pivot between a first position in which the diffuser lens diffuses light emitted by the at least one light source and a second position in which a substantial amount of the light emitted by the at least one light source is not diffused by the diffuser lens.

Abstract: A lighting device includes one or more light sources, one or more switches, and a controller. The lighting device has multiple modes of operation. The controller selects modes of operation according to the one or more switches. The controller controls or operates the one or more light sources according to the selected mode of operation.

Abstract: A lighting apparatus includes a first electrical contact (5212) that receives power and a second electrical contact (5304) that provides access to the received external power. An electrical contact support component (5210) is used to configure the orientation of the first electrical contact (5212) with respect to the second electrical contact (5304) and connect the first electrical contact and the second electrical contact. A portable lighting appliance receiving region (5310) receives and provides power to a received portable lighting appliance (5206). An interface (5226) receives an input indicative of a first operation of the received portable lighting device (5206) when the power is available and a second operation of a received portable lighting device (5206) when the power is unavailable.

Abstract: Fire protection devices and related methods for isolating building structures from an external fire are disclosed. The fire protection device includes a rolled fire-resistant protective cover having dimensions large enough to cover the building structure. The protective cover is then stored in a storage bag storing the protective cover and being disposed on a inclined top surface of the building structure. The device includes means for releasing the rolled protective cover from the storage bag so that, upon release from the storage bag, the protective cover can roll down the inclined top surface by gravity.

Abstract: An electrical penetrator for use in high pressure situations includes a metallic penetrator body having a central aperture therein which includes a conical portion and a cylindrical portion. An electrically conducting pin member fits within the aperture and has a cone portion which fits within and is displaced from the conical surface portion. An encapsulating compound maintains the pin in its proper orientation displaced from the interior walls of the aperture with the compound including a polyamide cured epoxy resin mixed with silica.
