Abstract

A pocket LED light includes a cylindrical lamp body, a pen clip provided on the lamp body, a power supply provided in the lamp body, a light emitting module electrically connected with the power supply, a rotating shaft and a hook. The light emitting module is located on the side opposite to the pen clip, and the light emitting module includes an LED main light element provided on the exterior and an LED light element provided on a face of a protruding end. The rotating shaft is vertically provided in the lamp body and rotatable within the lamp body. The light emitting module is hinged to an end of the rotating shaft extended beyond the lamp body. One end of the hook is rotatably provided at the bottom of the lamp body and the lamp body is provided with a slot which matches with the hook.

First claim

What is claimed is:

wherein the light emitting module comprises a first light source disposed on an exterior lateral side of the light emitting module and a second light source disposed on distal end of the light emitting module opposite the rotating shaft;
a power switch disposed about a surface of the cylindrical body;
wherein the position of the light emitting module is adjustable in a plurality of configurations with respect to the cylindrical body and wherein the light emitting module comprises:
(i) a first configuration wherein a longitudinal axis of the light emitting module is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the cylindrical body and a lateral side surface of the light emitting module is adjacent a lateral side surface of the cylindrical body,
(ii) a second configuration wherein the longitudinal axis of the light emitting module is normal to the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical body and the lateral side surface of the light emitting module is spaced apart from the lateral side surface of the cylindrical body, and
(iii) a third configuration wherein the longitudinal axis of the light emitting module is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical body and the lateral side surface of the light emitting module is spaced apart from the lateral side surface of the cylindrical body,

wherein a direction of light emitted from the second light source in the first configuration is parallel with a direction of light emitted from the second light source in the third configuration and wherein the direction of light from the second light source in the first configuration is in an opposing direction to the direction of light from emitted form the second light source in the third configuration.

2. The work light of claim 1 , wherein a side of the lamp body opposite the light emitting module comprises an opening provided with a rear cover and a pen clip on the rear cover.

3. The work light of claim 1 , wherein the first and second light sources comprise LEDs.

4. The work light of claim 1 , wherein the lateral side surface of the light emitting module and the lateral side surface of the cylindrical body are planar.

5. The work light of claim 4 , wherein when the work light is in the first configuration, the planar lateral side surface of the light emitting module and the planar lateral side surface of the cylindrical body are in contact with one another.

6. The work light of claim 4 , wherein when the work light is in the third configuration, the planar lateral side surface of the light emitting module and the planar lateral side surface of the cylindrical body are not in contact with one another.

7. The work light of claim 1 , wherein a direction of light emitted from the first light source in the first configuration is parallel with, and in the same direction as, a direction of light from the first light source in the third configuration.

8. The work light of claim 3 , wherein the first and second light sources are provided in an upper cover and a lower cover of the light emitting module, the first light source comprising a PCB circuit board, a COB light source electrically connected with the PCB circuit board, and a reflective cup provided above the COB light source;
wherein the reflective cup is located below the upper cover and a transparent cover is provided on the upper cover at a position corresponding to the reflective cup; and
wherein second light source is mounted on the face of a protruding end of the light emitting module comprises an LED and a lens, the LED of the second light source being electrically connected with the PCB circuit board.

9. The work light of claim 1 , further comprising a tab extending outward from a lateral side surface of the cylindrical body; and a recess disposed in a lateral side surface of the light emitting module configured to mate with the tab extending outward from the cylindrical body.

10. A work light, comprising:
a cylindrical body housing a power supply and coupled to a power switch;
a light emitting module connected to a top portion of the cylindrical body by a rotating shaft, said rotating shaft disposed about a lateral side surface of the cylindrical body;
wherein the light emitting module comprises a first light source disposed on an exterior lateral side of the light emitting module and a second light source disposed on distal end of the light emitting module opposite the rotating shaft; and
wherein the light emitting module is configurable in a plurality of positions comprising:
(i) a first configuration wherein a longitudinal axis of the light emitting module is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the cylindrical body and a lateral side surface of the light emitting module is adjacent a lateral side surface of the cylindrical body,
(ii) a second configuration wherein the longitudinal axis of the light emitting module is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical body and the lateral side surface of the light emitting module is spaced apart from the lateral side surface of the cylindrical body,

wherein a direction of light emitted from the second light source in the first configuration is parallel with a direction of light emitted from the second light source in the second configuration and wherein the direction of light from the second light source in the first configuration is in an opposing direction to the direction of light emitted from the second light source in the second configuration.

11. The work light of claim 10 , further comprising (i) a clip disposed about a side surface of the cylindrical body opposite the rotating shaft and (ii) a pivoting stand disposed distally from the clip on an opposite distal end of the cylindrical body.
