Abstract
A device or unit with a lighting component is provided. The device includes coupling components that couple the device to stackable storage unit containers. In one embodiment, the device includes a battery interface to couple to a battery for power tools. In one embodiment, the device includes three lights that are pivotally coupled to the housing between a retracted position in which the lights are disposed against sidewalls of the housing, and an open position in which the lights are pivoted above the top panel of the housing.
Claims20
A stackable lighting unit configured to couple to a stackable storage unit, the stackable lighting unit comprising:
- a housing defining a bottom surface;
- a top panel pivotally coupled to the housing, the top panel defining a top surface;
- a first light pivotally coupled to the housing, the first light pivotally rotating with respect to the housing about a first rotational axis;
- and
- a plurality of coupling components that detachably couple the stackable lighting unit to the stackable storage unit, the plurality of coupling components extending from the top surface.
A stackable lighting unit configured to couple to a stackable storage unit, the stackable lighting unit comprising:
- a housing defining a bottom surface;
- a top panel pivotally coupled to the housing, the top panel defining a top surface;
- a first light coupled to the housing;
- a first plurality of coupling components extending from the bottom surface, the first plurality of coupling components configured to couple the stackable lighting unit to an upper surface of the stackable storage unit;
- and
- a second plurality of coupling components extending from the top surface, the second plurality of coupling components configured to couple the stackable lighting unit to a lower surface of the stackable storage unit opposite the upper surface.
A stackable lighting unit configured to couple to a stackable storage unit, the stackable lighting unit comprising:
- a housing defining a bottom surface;
- a top panel pivotally coupled to the housing, the top panel defining a top surface;
- a first light coupled to the housing;
- a second light coupled to the housing, the second light distinct from the first light;
- and
- a first plurality of coupling components that couple the stackable lighting unit to the stackable storage unit, the first plurality of coupling components extending from one of the top surface and the bottom surface.
