Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A light includes a housing including a front face, a first face, a second face, and a first surface arranged adjacent the first face. A lens is coupled to the front face. A light source is covered by the lens. A power source is configured to provide power to the light source. The first face is angled at a first oblique angle with respect to the front face, the second face is angled at a second oblique angle with respect to the front face, and the first surface is angled at a third oblique angle with respect to the front face. The first face, the second face, and the first surface each define a surface configured to support the light. The first face includes two legs spaced from one another and extending away from the first surface.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A light comprising: a housing including a front face, a first face, a second face, and a first surface arranged adjacent the first face; a lens coupled to the front face; a light source covered by the lens; and a power source configured to provide power to the light source, wherein the first face is angled at a first oblique angle with respect to the front face, the second face is angled at a second oblique angle with respect to the front face, and the first surface is angled at a third oblique angle with respect to the front face, wherein the first face, the second face, and the first surface each define a surface configured to support the light, wherein the first face includes two legs spaced from one another and extending away from the first surface. 2. The light of claim 1 , wherein the second face includes two legs spaced from one another. 3. The light of claim 2 , wherein the housing includes a second surface arranged adjacent the second face, the second surface angled at a fourth oblique angle with respect to the front face, and wherein the two legs of the second face extend away from the second surface. 4. The light of claim 1 , wherein the first face includes a handle extending between the two legs of the first face. 5. The light of claim 1 , wherein the housing includes a first side face arranged adjacent the first face and the second face, the first side face angled at a fourth oblique angle with respect to the front face. 6. The light of claim 5 , wherein the first side face includes two legs spaced from one another and extending away from the front face. 7. The light of claim 6 , wherein the housing includes a second side face arranged adjacent the first face and the second face, the second side face arranged opposite the first side face and angled at a fifth oblique angle with respect to the front face. 8. The light of claim 7 , wherein the second side face includes two legs spaced from one another and extending away from the front face. 9. The light of claim 8 , wherein the first oblique angle, the second oblique angle, the third oblique angle, the fourth oblique angle, and the fifth oblique angle are all different from one another. 10. A light comprising: a housing including a front face, a first face, a second face, and a first surface arranged adjacent the first face; a lens coupled to the front face; a light source covered by the lens; and a battery pack removably coupled to the housing, the battery pack configured to provide power to the light source, wherein the first face is angled at a first oblique angle with respect to the front face, the second face is angled at a second oblique angle with respect to the front face, and the first surface is angled at a third oblique angle with respect to the front face, wherein the first face, the second face, and the first surface each define a surface configured to support the light, wherein the first oblique angle, the second oblique angle, and the third oblique angle are all different from one another, and wherein the battery pack is arranged between the first face and the second face. 11. The light of claim 10 , wherein the battery pack is arranged between the first surface and the second face. 12. The light of claim 10 , further comprising a second surface arranged adjacent the second face, wherein the battery is arranged between the first face and the second surface. 13. The light of claim 10 , wherein the battery pack is receivable in a receiving port arranged on the housing opposite the front face. 14. The light of claim 13 , further comprising a locking mechanism that is configured to inhibit removal of the battery pack from the receiving port when the battery pack is in the receiving port. 15. The light of claim 10 , wherein the battery pack is a power tool battery pack. 16. The light of claim 10 , wherein the first face includes two legs spaced from one another and extending away from the first surface. 17. The light of claim 16 , wherein the second face includes two legs spaced from one another. 18. A light comprising: a housing including a front face, a first face, a second face, and a first surface arranged adjacent the first face; a lens coupled to the front face; a light source covered by the lens; and a power source configured to provide power to the light source, wherein the first face is angled at a first oblique angle with respect to the front face, the second face is angled at a second oblique angle with respect to the front face, and the first surface is angled at a third oblique angle with respect to the front face, wherein the first oblique angle, the second oblique angle, and the third oblique angle are all different from one another, and wherein a portion of the housing on which the first face is arranged defines a handle for carrying the light. 19. The light of claim 18 , wherein the power source is arranged between the handle and the second face. 20. The light of claim 18 , wherein the first face includes two legs spaced from one another and extending away from the first surface, and wherein the handle extends between the two legs of the first face.
