Collapsible multi-functioning lighting device comprising concentric rings having different radii interconnected by a flexible membrane

A collapsible light device, comprising:

• a plurality of concentric casings coupled together by a flexible membranes forming sidewalls, wherein each casing has a different sized perimeter, the plurality of casings having a first configuration and a second configuration;
• wherein the first configuration comprises a collapsed configuration wherein each of the plurality of concentric casings form a nested group of concentric casings and wherein the second configuration comprises an extended configuration wherein the plurality of concentric casings and sidewalls define an internal volume having (i) translucent continuous sidewalls, (ii) an open end, and (iii) a closed end;
• a light source disposed in a one of the plurality of concentric casings having a perimeter smaller than the other of the plurality of concentric casings, wherein in a first configuration the light source propagates a majority of light unimpeded by the sidewalls and in a second configuration the light source propagates a portion of light that is reflected off the sidewalls and a portion of light that passes through the sidewalls.
