Abstract: A lighting device includes a housing, a power supply, a first light source such as a LED, a variable focus lens adapted to vary the focus of light from the first light source, a switch and a controller having circuitry, The circuitry is adapted to control the current to the first light source based upon a voltage of the power supply, and is adapted to control variability of the variable focus lens.

Abstract: A vertical fire pit with a cap to fully enclose a vertical tube having perforations, supported by a plate and base to hold one or more logs in a vertical position. The plate may be non-perforated to allow for collection of ash and leftover unburned log pieces at the bottom of the vertical tube or the plate may be perforated so that ash may fall into an ashtray allowing for easy collection and clean-up.

Abstract: A folding knife/tool with a unique bi-directional latching mechanism that latches two handle-halves in the open and closed position. The said handle halves rotate about the same pivot as the blade/tool end. One handle half can be pivoted , unlatched, from the other, therefore allowing the handle halves to pivot exposing and securing the blade in the open, or closed position. The latching mechanism allows for Top Handle-Half to rotate clockwise or counter-clockwise relative to the Bottom Handle-Half and connect securely into the same latching mechanism.
