## Abstract

A night hunting spotlight has a fixed lens, a fixed bezel, and a light-emitting diode (LED) movable in relation to the fixed lens so as to broaden or narrow the beam, respectively. The LED may be movable using telescoping mechanisms, rotating mechanisms, knobs, linear actuators (manually actuated or electronically controlled), or other mechanisms capable of moving the LED along the longitudinal axis of the night hunting light to approximate the lens or move distally therefrom.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A night hunting spotlight comprising:
a fixed bezel;
a fixed lens coupled to the fixed bezel;
a light-emitting diode (LED) coupled to an inner housing, the inner housing slidable within an outer housing to a retracted position and an extended position;
a focal grip coupled to the inner housing on an end opposite the LED;
a lock to prevent axial and longitudinal movement of the inner housing, the lock comprising a jam nut that (a) loosens to allow movement of the inner housing and (b) tightens to prevent movement of the inner housing;
wherein when the inner housing is in the retracted position, the LED is at a first position, proximal to the fixed lens; and
wherein when the inner housing is in an extended position, the LED is in a second location, distal to the fixed lens.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The night hunting spotlight of claim 1, wherein the inner housing further comprises a battery.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The night hunting spotlight of claim 1, wherein the focal grip rotates to longitudinally extend and retract the inner housing.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The night hunting spotlight of claim 1, further comprising one or more colored LEDs.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The night hunting spotlight of claim 1, wherein the fixed lens is spherical.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The night hunting spotlight of claim 1, wherein the fixed lens is planar.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The night hunting spotlight of claim 1, wherein a tail cap portion further comprises an intensity controller.

### Claim 8

A night hunting spotlight comprising:
a bezel portion comprising:
a fixed bezel,
a front cover coupleable to the bezel,
a fixed lens interposed between the front cover and the fixed bezel, and
a light-emitting diode (LED) module;
a body portion comprising;
an outer housing, and
an inner housing comprising a battery therein, the inner housing slidable within the outer housing, the inner housing coupled to the LED module;
a tail cap portion comprising;
a focal grip coupled to the inner housing at an end opposite the LED module, the focal grip rotatable to extend or retract the inner housing in relation to the outer housing;
wherein when the focal grip is rotated in a first direction, the inner housing with the LED module moves closer to the fixed lens and when the focal grip is rotated in a second direction, the inner housing with the LED module moves away from the fixed lens.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The night hunting spotlight of claim 8, wherein the body portion further comprises a lock to prevent axial and longitudinal movement of the inner housing.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The night hunting spotlight of claim 9, wherein the lock comprises a jam nut that (a) loosens to allow movement of the inner housing and (b) tightens to prevent movement of the inner housing.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The night hunting spotlight of claim 9, wherein the tail cap portion further comprises an intensity controller.

### Claim 12 (depends on 8)

The night hunting spotlight of claim 8, wherein the LED module comprises one or more colored LEDs.

### Claim 13 (depends on 8)

The night hunting spotlight of claim 8, wherein the inner housing comprises a protrusion slidable within a groove of the outer housing.
