Abstract

A light assembly includes a base, and a first light source supported by the base. The first light source includes a first light emitting diode configured to emit light in a first direction from the base. The light assembly additionally includes a second light source supported by the base, the second light source including a plurality of second light emitting diodes configured to emit light in a second direction from the base. The second light source is obliquely oriented relative to the base. The light assembly additionally includes a diffuser supported by the base, the diffuser extending upwardly from the base to enclose the first light source. The diffuser diffuses light emitted from the first light source to the surrounding area in an upward and outward direction.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A light assembly comprising:
a base;
a first light source supported by the base, the first light source including a first light emitting diode configured to emit light in a first direction from the base;
a second light source supported by the base, and the second light source including a plurality of second light emitting diodes configured to emit light in a second direction from the base, wherein the second light source is obliquely oriented relative to the base; and
a diffuser supported by the base, the diffuser extending upwardly from the base to enclose the first light source, the diffuser diffusing light emitted from the first light source to the surrounding area in an upward and outward direction,
wherein the second light source is supported on a side of the base outside the diffuser.

2. The light assembly of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of second light emitting diodes includes four light emitting diodes.

3. The light assembly of claim 2 , wherein the four light emitting diodes are arranged in a grid.

4. The light assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first light emitting diode is configured to emit light in a 360 degree range.

5. The light assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a lens coupled to the base to cover the second light source.

6. The light assembly of claim 1 , wherein the diffuser is removably coupled to the base.

7. The light assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a handle coupled to an upper end of the diffuser opposite from the base.

8. The light assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first light emitting diode is an area light emitting diode, and wherein the plurality of second light emitting diodes are flood light emitting diodes.

9. The light assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a control panel supported by the base and electrically coupled to the first light source and the second light source, wherein the control panel is operable to control the first light source and the second light source.

10. A light assembly comprising:
a base;
a first light source supported by the base, the first light source including an area light emitting diode configured to emit light in a first direction from the base;
a second light source supported by the base, the second light source including a flood light emitting diode configured to emit light in a second direction from the base;
a diffuser supported by the base, the diffuser extending upwardly from the base to enclose the first light source;
a mounting structure configured to engage a support structure to support at least the first light source on the support structure, the mounting structure located on a bottom surface of the base opposite from the diffuser; and
a handle coupled to an upper end of the diffuser opposite from the base and including a grip portion configured to be grasped by a user.

11. The light assembly of claim 10 , wherein the mounting structure includes a hanging hook.

12. The light assembly of claim 10 , wherein the hanging hook is movable between an extended position and a stowed position.

13. The light assembly of claim 12 , further comprising a track that receives the mounting structure while in the stowed position.

14. The light assembly of claim 12 , further comprising a detent that selectively engages the mounting structure to releasably hold the mounting structure in the extended position.

15. A light assembly comprising:
a base;
a first light source supported by the base, the first light source including an area light emitting diode configured to emit light in a first direction from the base;
a second light source supported by the base, the second light source including four flood light emitting diodes arranged in a square grid and configured to emit light in a second direction from the base;
a diffuser supported by the base, the diffuser extending upwardly from the base to enclose the first light source;
a first power input electrically coupled to the first light source and the second light source, the first power input configured to selectively receive power from a first power source;
a second power input electrically coupled to the first light source and the second light source, the second power input configured to selectively receive power from a second power source that is different than the first power source; and
a control panel supported by the base and including an actuator operable to control operation of the light assembly.

16. The light assembly of claim 15 , wherein the first power input is a DC power input configured to selectively receive power from a DC power source, and the second power input is an AC power input configured to selectively receive power from an AC power source.

17. The light assembly of claim 15 , wherein the actuator is operable to change the intensity of the first light source, the second light source, or both.

18. The light assembly of claim 15 , wherein the first light source and the second light source are operable independently of each other.

19. The light assembly of claim 15 , further comprising a power output supported by the base.
