## Abstract

A lighting device defining an interior storage space accessible by removing a lid from the main body portion of the lighting device. The main body portion is embodied as a first light emitting component and the lid is embodied as a second light emitting component. Each of the first light emitting component and the second light emitting component are configured for emitting a light output. The lighting device additionally includes a tray that may fit within the interior storage space of the lighting device.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A lighting device comprising:
a first light emitting component comprising:
a housing having an open first end and one or more sidewalls surrounding the open first end, wherein at least a portion of the one or more sidewalls defines a light-transmissive portion;
one or more first light sources disposed within the housing to emit light through the light-transmissive portion;
a second light emitting component comprising:
a body defining a first end and a second end, wherein the body is configured to fit within the open first end of the housing to position the first end of the body within the housing and wherein at least a portion of the first end of the body defines a light emitting portion positioned within the housing when the body is inserted within the open first end; and
one or more second light sources disposed within the body to emit light through the light emitting portion.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The lighting device of claim 1, wherein the housing and the body have the same shape.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The lighting device of claim 1, wherein when the body is inserted into the housing, the second end of the body is parallel with an edge surrounding the open first end of the housing.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The lighting device of claim 1, wherein the light-transmissive portion is defined within a portion of the one or more sidewalls as including: (i) a light-transmissive side defining an outer sidewall of the one or more sidewalls and (ii) an opposite, opaque side defining an inner sidewall of the one or more sidewalls.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The lighting device of claim 4, wherein the one or more sidewalls defines at least one light-passthrough, extending at least through the opaque side to enable light from the one or more second light sources to be visible through at least a portion of the one or more sidewalls.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The lighting device of claim 1, wherein the housing has a hollow interior.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The lighting device of claim 6, wherein the hollow interior defines a storage space.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The lighting device of claim 7, wherein the lighting device further comprises a tray that fits within the storage space.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The lighting device of claim 1, wherein the housing further comprises a first power source.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The lighting device of claim 9, wherein the housing further comprises a charging channel configured for transmitting electrical current from the first power source to a separate electrical device.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The lighting device of claim 9, wherein the first power source comprises one or more onboard batteries.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The lighting device of claim 1, wherein the body further comprises a second power source.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The lighting device of claim 12, wherein each of the body and the housing further comprise electrical contacts such that the second power source can be charged from the housing.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The lighting device of claim 1, wherein the one or more first light sources comprises one or more light emitting diodes.

### Claim 15 (depends on 1)

The lighting device of claim 1, wherein the one or more second light sources comprises one or more light emitting diodes.

### Claim 16 (depends on 1)

The lighting device of claim 1, wherein the lighting device defines a cube shape.

### Claim 17 (depends on 1)

The lighting device of claim 1, wherein the body further comprises a handle and a hook member coupled to the handle configured for being coupled to a support structure.

### Claim 18 (depends on 17)

The lighting device of claim 17, wherein the handle comprises a recessed portion, wherein the recessed portion is configured for receiving the hook member when in a collapsed orientation.
