## Abstract

A multi-color spotlight has a housing having a lens on a first side, a rotational LED mechanism, a knob for actuating the rotational LED mechanism, and a power supply source within the housing operably coupled to the rotational LED mechanism, wherein the rotational LED mechanism comprises a rotatable rod having a plurality of substrates coupled around the circumference thereof, with each substrate being in a distinct geometric plane, each substrate having an LED chip in the center, and wherein only the LED chip that is positioned in the center beneath the lens is configured to receive power from the power supply source.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A multi-color spotlight, comprising:
a housing;
a lens having convex forward surface and a focal point;
a plurality of light-emitting devices positioned in a single vertical geometric plane that passes through the lens focal point and through each of the plurality of light-emitting devices; and
a battery;
wherein each light-emitting device is selectively positionable to a center position beneath the lens;
wherein only the light-emitting device positioned at the center position beneath the lens is illuminated.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The multi-color spotlight of claim 1, further comprising a rotational mechanism for selectively positioning the light-emitting devices.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The multi-color spotlight of claim 1, further comprising an intensity control mechanism.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The multi-color spotlight of claim 1, further comprising a bezel configured to broaden or focus the beam of light.

### Claim 5

A method of positioning multiple light-emitting devices in a spotlight so that each light-emitting device maintains the same focal point when selectively illuminated, the method comprising:
selecting a first light-emitting device by positioning the first light-emitting device at a first position beneath a lens, the first light-emitting device having a focal point;
selectively positioning the first light-emitting device at a second position and a second light-emitting device to the first position beneath the lens, the second light-emitting device having a focal point;
wherein the focal point of the first and second light-emitting devices remains the same when selectively illuminated; and
wherein the first light-emitting device and the second light-emitting device both remain in a single vertical geometric plane that passes through the focal point.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5 further comprising the step of clicking the second light-emitting device into position when thee second light-emitting device is selectively positioned in the first position beneath the lens.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The method of claim 6 wherein clicking the second light-emitting device into position comprises an audible click.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7 wherein clicking the second light-emitting device into position comprises a felt click.

### Claim 9 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5 wherein the step of positioning the first light-emitting device at a first position beneath a lens comprises positioning the first light-emitting device at a focal point of convex lens.

### Claim 10 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5 further comprising the step of rotating a bezel to focus or broaden a beam of light emitted by the spotlight.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10 wherein selectively positioning the second light-emitting device to the first position beneath the lens does not alter the focus of the beam of light.

### Claim 12

A multi-color spotlight for emitting a beam of light, comprising:
a housing;
a focal point;
a plurality of light sources in a single vertical geometric plane that passes through the focal point and through each of the plurality of light sources, wherein each light source is selectively positionable at the focal point;
a detent that clicks indicating that one of the light sources is positioned at the focal point; and
a battery;
wherein only the light source positioned at the focal point is illuminated.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The multi-color spotlight of claim 12 wherein the detent clicks with an audible click.

### Claim 14 (depends on 12)

The multi-color spotlight of claim 12 wherein the detent clicks with a felt click.

### Claim 15 (depends on 12)

The multi-color spotlight of claim 12 wherein the detent comprises a sphere.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The multi-color spotlight of claim 15 wherein the detent comprises an aperture that engages the sphere.

### Claim 17 (depends on 12)

The multi-color spotlight of claim 12 wherein the detent comprises a spring.

### Claim 18 (depends on 12)

The multi-color spotlight of claim 12, further comprising a lens focused at the focal point and having a convex forward surface.

### Claim 19 (depends on 18)

The multi-color spotlight of claim 18, further comprising a bezel configured to broaden or focus the beam of light by moving the lens relative to the light source and in the vertical geometric plane.

### Claim 20 (depends on 1)

The multi-color spotlight of claim 1, further comprising a detent that clicks indicating that one of the light sources is positioned at the focal point.
