Abstract

A light includes a housing with a top face, a bottom face, a first side face, a second side face, and a surface arranged adjacent to the bottom face. The light also includes a head pivotally coupled to the housing, with a diffuser and a plurality of LEDs configured to emit light through the diffuser. The light also includes a power source configured to provide power to the plurality of LEDs. The top face, the bottom face, the first side face, the second side face, and the surface are each configured to support the light, and the surface is oriented at an oblique angle with respect to the bottom face.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A light comprising:
a housing including a top face, a bottom face, a first side face, a second side face, and a surface arranged adjacent to the bottom face;
a head pivotally coupled to the housing, the head including a diffuser and a plurality of LEDs configured to emit light through the diffuser; and
a power source configured to provide power to the plurality of LEDs,
wherein the top face, the bottom face, the first side face, the second side face, and the surface are each configured to support the light, and
wherein the surface is oriented at an oblique angle with respect to the bottom face.

2. The light of claim 1 , wherein the head is pivotable about an axis relative to the housing to adjust an orientation of the head relative to the housing.

3. The light of claim 1 , further comprising a circuit board within the head.

4. The light of claim 3 , wherein the circuit board is configured to support the plurality of LEDs.

5. The light of claim 3 , further comprising a plurality of fins configured to provide cooling for the plurality of LEDs.

6. The light of claim 5 , wherein the plurality of fins is disposed on the head.

7. The light of claim 5 , wherein the plurality of fins is formed from aluminum.

8. The light of claim 1 , wherein the power source is a battery pack.

9. The light of claim 1 , wherein the head is positioned between the top face, the bottom face, and the first and second side faces in a first position of the head.

10. The light of claim 9 , wherein the surface is obliquely oriented relative to the diffuser when the head is in the first position.

11. A light comprising:
a housing including a top face, a bottom face, a first side face, a second side face, and a surface arranged adjacent to the bottom face;
a head pivotally coupled to the housing, the head including a diffuser and a plurality of LEDs configured to emit light through the diffuser; and
a plurality of fins disposed on the head and configured to provide cooling for the plurality of LEDs,
wherein the surface is oriented at an oblique angle with respect to the bottom face,
wherein the head is pivotable about an axis relative to the housing to adjust an orientation of the head relative to the housing, and
wherein the axis is defined by a pivot joint, wherein the pivot joint includes a first end adjacent to the first side face and a second end adjacent to the second side face.

12. The light of claim 11 , further comprising a circuit board within the head.

13. The light of claim 12 , wherein the circuit board is configured to support the plurality of LEDs.

14. The light of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of fins is formed from aluminum.

15. The light of claim 11 , wherein the head is positioned between the top face, the bottom face, and the first and second side faces in a first position of the head.

16. The light of claim 11 , further comprising a power source configured to provide power to the plurality of LEDs.

17. The light of claim 11 , wherein the top face is obliquely oriented relative to the bottom face.

18. A light comprising:
a housing including a top face, a bottom face, a first side face, a second side face, and a surface arranged adjacent to the bottom face;
a head pivotally coupled to the housing, the head including a diffuser and a plurality of LEDs configured to emit light through the diffuser; and
a power source configured to provide power to the plurality of LEDs,
wherein the top face is obliquely oriented relative to the bottom face,
wherein the surface is obliquely oriented relative to the bottom face, and
wherein the head is pivotable about an axis relative to the housing from a first position to a second position to adjust an orientation of the head relative to the housing, wherein when the head is in the first position, the head is seated between the top face, the bottom face, and the first and second side faces.

19. The light of claim 18 , further comprising a circuit board within the head, wherein the circuit board is configured to support the plurality of LEDs.

20. The light of claim 19 , further comprising a plurality of fins configured to provide cooling for the plurality of LEDs, wherein the plurality of fins is disposed on the head, and wherein the plurality of fins is formed from aluminum.
