Abstract
An illumination device including a housing having a flared cylindrical bowl shape enclosed on a first end and open on an second end, a light emitting portion coupled to the housing on the second end, the light emitting portion comprising a first portion configured to diffuse light emitted through the first portion and a second portion configured to project light in a beam from the illumination device, the first portion encircles a perimeter of the second portion, a first light source comprising one or more light emitting devices that when activated provide light to the first portion, and a second light source distinct from the first light source that when activated provides light to the second portion.
Claims20
An illumination device comprising:
- a housing having a flared cylindrical bowl shape enclosed on a first end and open on an second end, wherein a wall defining the flared cylindrical bowl shape of the housing comprises a cutout portion;
- a light emitting portion coupled to the housing on the second end, the light emitting portion comprising a first portion configured to diffuse light emitted through the first portion and a second portion configured to project light in a beam from the illumination device, the first portion encircles a perimeter of the second portion, and the cutout portion is enclosed by a portion of the first portion such that at least some of the light diffused by the first portion is emittable through the cutout portion in the housing;
- a first light source comprising one or more light emitting devices that when activated provide light to the first portion;
- and
- a second light source distinct from the first light source that when activated provides light to the second portion.
An illumination apparatus for selectively coupling to a transportation device comprising:
- a housing having a flared cylindrical bowl shape enclosed on a first end and open on an second end, the housing comprises a cutout portion extending from the second end along a length of the housing toward the first end;
- an attachment mechanism coupled to the housing, the attachment mechanism configured to selectively fasten the illumination apparatus to the transportation device;
- a light emitting portion coupled to the housing on the second end, the light emitting portion comprising a first portion configured to diffuse light emitted through the first portion and a second portion configured to project light in a beam from the illumination apparatus, the first portion encircles a perimeter of the second portion, the first portion of the light emitting portion configured to enclose the cutout portion of the housing;
- a first light source comprising one or more light emitting devices that when activated provide light to the first portion, the light that is diffused by the first portion of the light emitting portion and illuminates the cutout portion of the housing;
- and
- a second light source distinct from the first light source that when activated provides light to the second portion.
