A portable light including an elongated housing having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, and a light-emitting head pivotably coupled to the second end of the elongated housing. The light-emitting head having a housing portion defining a first end and a second end opposite the first end. A first light source is coupled to a first side of the light-emitting head and is positioned between the first end and the second end of the housing portion. A second light source coupled to the second end of the housing portion. A battery cell is removably coupled to the elongated housing to power the first and second light sources.

Portable light, such as a stick light

A lighting device including a light source, an input device, a power source configured to provide power to the lighting device, and one or more electronic processors. The one or more electronic processors are configured to receive an input signal to illuminate the light source from the input device and determine a first state-of-charge of the power source. The electronic processors are further configured to determine a first illumination output value based on the determined first state of charge and initiate a first ramp-down operation of the light source from the first illumination output value. The first ramp-down operation is configured to reduce an output of the light source as a percentage of the first illumination intensity over time. The electronic processors are also configured to continue the first ramp-down operation until the output of the light source reaches a predetermined illumination intensity.

Lighting device with state of charge based control

A lighting device including a light source, one or more input devices, and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to receive an input to illuminate the light source at a first illumination intensity value associated with a first operating mode and operate the light source at the first illumination intensity value based on the received input. The electronic processor is further configured to initiate a ramp-down operation of the light source from the first illumination intensity value. The electronic processor is further configured to receive a first mode change input to change from the first operation mode to a second operating mode at a first time, wherein a second illumination intensity value is associated with the second operating mode, and, in response to receiving the first mode change input, control the output of the light source to output a third illumination intensity value.
