A charger for an electrical device (e.g., a site light) includes a housing defining an interior cavity, and one or more openings formed in the housing. A heat sink is disposed in the interior cavity of the housing and is operable to dissipate heat produced in the housing. The heat sink is positioned in a facing relationship with the one or more openings such that the heat sink is at least partially exposed to the exterior. The heat sink is in heat transfer relationship with component of charger electronics of the charger.

Heat sink

A work light including a body defining a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a length extending between the first end and the second end, and a pivot axis extending parallel to the length. The first end includes a power button. The work light further includes a light source head pivotally coupled to the body to pivot about the pivot axis and configured to be operated by the power button. The light source head includes a planar light panel having a plurality of light emitting diodes aligned in a direction parallel to the pivot axis. The work light further includes a battery receptacle disposed on the body and configured to receive at least a portion of a battery. The battery couples to the battery receptacle by sliding into the battery receptacle along the direction parallel to the pivot axis.

Work light

A headlamp includes a strap, a bracket coupled to the strap, and a first lighting assembly pivotally coupled to the bracket and including a first light housing enclosing a first LED, a battery housing enclosing a battery configured to power the first LED, and a first actuator operable to toggle the first lighting assembly between a first plurality of operating modes. The headlamp also includes a second lighting assembly coupled to the strap and having a plurality of second LEDs and a second actuator operable to toggle the second lighting assembly between a second plurality of operating modes such that the lighting assemblies are operable independently. A wire extends between the lighting assemblies to provide power from the battery to the plurality of second LEDs. The second lighting assembly extends along more than 50% of a circumference of the strap and follows a curvature of the strap.

High visibility headlamp

A charger for an electrical device (e.g., site light) includes a housing defining an interior cavity, and one or more openings formed in the housing. The one or more openings fluidly communicate the interior cavity with an exterior of the charger. A heat sink is at least partially disposed in the housing and operable to dissipate heat produced in the housing. A first portion of the heat sink is positioned within the interior cavity. A second portion of the heat sink is positioned in the one or more openings such that the heat sink is at least partially exposed to the exterior. The heat sink is in heat transfer relationship with components of charger electronics of the charger.

A work light including a body having a mount surface, a pair of ferromagnetic members coupled to the body and disposed adjacent the mount surface, and a recess defined in the mount surface in the space between the pair of ferromagnetic members. The pair of ferromagnetic members define a space therebetween. The recess is a keyhole slot configured to receive a nail from which the work light can be hung. The work light further includes a light source pivotably coupled to the body opposite the mount surface, such that the light source pivots relative to the body about a vertical axis when the work light is hung using the recess.

A headlamp includes a strap, a bracket coupled to the strap, and a light assembly including a housing enclosing a light source and a battery for providing power to the light source. A magnetic interface is configured to removably couple the light assembly to the bracket. The magnetic interface includes a first magnetic element fixed to the bracket, and a second magnetic element fixed to the light assembly. The first magnetic element and the second magnetic element are configured to produce a magnetic attractive force to retain the light assembly relative to the bracket.

Headlamp with detachable light assembly

A spotlight and a method of controlling the spotlight with an external device. The spotlight having a first light source including a center spotlight, a second light source including area lights, a power supply, a transceiver configured to communicate wirelessly with the external device, and a processor. The processor is operable to receive a first input from the external device specifying a first amount of power to be provided to the first light source, and receive a second input from the external device specifying a second amount of power to be provided to the second light source. The processor is also operable to control the power supply to provide the first amount of power to the first light source in response to the first input, and control the power supply to provide the second amount of power to the second light source in response to the second input.

Spotlight

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.

Task-area light

A work light includes a body, a light source head, and a battery. The body includes a mount surface for mounting the work light to a structure. The light source head is pivotably connected to the body. The light source head is opposite the mount surface of the body. The battery is removably coupled to the body. The battery includes a support surface. The support surface is disposed outside of the body. The support surface is oriented perpendicular to the mount surface.

An area light including a base having a first end and a second end, a pair of legs rotatably coupled to the first end of base, wherein the pair of legs is rotated towards the base when the area light is in a stowed configuration and is rotated away from the base when the area light is in an open configuration, and a light body having a light head. The light body is rotatably coupled to the base on the first end of the base, wherein the light body is rotated towards the base when the area light is in the stowed configuration and is rotated away from the base when the area light is in the open configuration. The pair of legs is rotatably fixed to one another to rotate as a single unit relative to the base.
