The lighting units are separable into sections each of which comprise at least one of the plurality of emitters and each of which remains connected to the conductor. The length of the conductor between the sections can be adjustable to vary the distance between adjacent ones of the sections.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2008Publication date: June 17, 2010Inventors: Thomas C. Sloan, Bruce Quaal

Patent number: 7731392Abstract: A portable light intended for mounting on a garment as support includes two LED light sources spaced apart towards the rear of the portable light. A clipped base below on anchor facilitates locating a garment between the anchor and the base, and a spring action urges the base toward the anchor. A hingedly movable head for the LEDs is mounted on the housing to move to and form the housing. An opening of the housing causes a switch in the housing to move between an opened and closed position such that a circuit actives or deactivates the LED lights when the head opens or closes relative to the housing.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2009Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Assignee: Pelican Products, Inc.Inventors: David H. Parker, Kevin Deighton, Mac Kidakarn

Patent number: 7731386Abstract: A lighting device is disclosed. The lighting device can include a light bar and a base having an elongated groove shaped to receive the light bar. The light bar can be rotatable relative to the base around an axis substantially perpendicular to the long axis of the light bar. Rotation of the light bar around this axis can move the light bar into and out of the elongated groove, thus converting the lighting device between compact and expanded configurations. For greater maneuverability, the light bar can include a light source housing portion rotatable around an axis substantially parallel to the long axis of the light bar. The light source housing portion can include two or more light emitting diodes positioned along the long axis of the light bar. The lighting device can be used with a mounting sleeve shaped to receive, for example, one end of the base.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2008Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Inventor: Jonathan E. Levine

Patent number: 7726840Abstract: Concatenatable lighting fixtures, each comprising a unitary cover member having a circuit board mounting platform integrally formed with suitable heat sinking and which mounts onto a cooperating base chassis. In one embodiment, the circuit board mounting platform extends farther from one end of the cover member than the other so as to facilitate placement of LEDs in a fashion which enhances lighting uniformity and minimizes dark spots. In one embodiment, first and second guide members may be positioned in respective opposite ends of adjacent fixtures, each guide member having a plurality of extending fingers with a flexible electrical conductor-carrying conduit disposed between the respective opposite ends and retained in position by the fingers.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2008Date of Patent: June 1, 2010Assignee: Tempo Industries, Inc.Inventors: Dennis Pearson, Terry Horwitz, Richard Horvath

Publication number: 20100124059Abstract: An LED based lighting fixture for street lighting includes a lighting head unit including a heat sink structure for dissipating heat. Below the heat sink structure is one or more LED circuit boards each including a plurality of low power LEDs oriented in a plurality of different directions. Light emitted from the lighting head unit is cast in a desired pattern of disbursement. A lens unit is attached to the bottom side of the lighting head unit covering the LED circuit board. The lighting fixture includes a mounting unit for mounting the lighting head unit to a fixed structure such that an angle of the lighting head unit may be adjusted to direct the pattern of disbursement of light cast from the lighting head unit to a desired direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2009Publication date: May 20, 2010Inventors: Gerard Duffy, John Bonlarron
