## Abstract

A lighting device with multiple light sources includes a housing, a first illuminating source, a second illuminating source, a lens assembly, a light reflecting and transmitting filter, a first power switch, a second power switch, and a power source. The first illuminating source and the second illuminating source are mounted within the housing and perpendicularly positioned of each other. The lens assembly is operatively coupled to the housing, wherein the lens assembly focus the first illuminating source and the second illuminating source between a spot position and a collimating potion. The light reflecting and transmitting filter is angularly mounted in between the first illuminating source and the second illuminating source, The first power switch and the second power switch are mounted onto the housing. The power source being electrically connected to the first illuminating source through the first power switch and the second illuminating source through the second power switch.
