LED WORK LIGHT
First Claim
1. A light emitting diode (LED) work light comprising:
- a power source;
a casing including a handle section;
at least one LED mounted to illuminate light from the casing;
at least one lens forward of the LEDs to focus light from the LEDs;
a control switch designated to at least turn on and turn off the LEDs; and
a controller configured to, in response to activation of the control switch, provide control of the power source to the LEDs to transition from a first illumination state to a second illumination state of the illumination of the LEDs, the transition being illumination defined by a specified function over time defined to slow a transition time of the transition.

Abstract
A light emitting diode (LED) work light and associated method of controlling the LED work light. The LED work light includes a power source, a casing including a handle section, at least one LED mounted to illuminate light from the casing, at least one lens forward of the LEDs to focus light from the LEDs, a control switch designated to at least turn on and turn off the LEDs, and a controller. The controller may be configured to, in response to activation of the control switch, provide control of the power source to the LEDs to transition from a first illumination state to a second illumination state of the illumination of the LEDs, the transition being illumination defined by a specified function over time defined to slow a transition time of the transition.

23. A method of controlling a light emitting diode (LED) work light including a power source, a casing including a handle section, at least one LED mounted to illuminate light from the casing, at least one lens forward of the LEDs to focus light from the LEDs, a control switch designated to at least turn on and turn off the LEDs, the method being implemented by a controller and comprising:
-
controlling the at least one LED to have a first illumination state; in response to activation of the control switch, transitioning the at least one LED from the first illumination state to a second illumination state of the illumination of the LEDs, the transitioning being illumination defined by a specified function over time defined to slow a transition time of the transitioning; and after the transitioning, controlling the at least one LED to have the second illumination state.
