1. An illumination device, comprising:
- a translucent housing;
a plurality of light sources disposed in said housing for radiating light; and
at least one replaceable power source disposed in said housing for powering said light sources;
wherein said light sources are arranged in said housing such that light radiates from said housing omnidirectionally;
wherein said housing comprises a first portion coupled to a second portion;
wherein said at least one power source is electrically connected to said plurality of light sources; and
wherein said first portion is rotatable with respect to said second portion such that, when said first portion is rotated from an engaged position to a disengaged position, the electrical connection between said at least one power source and said plurality of light sources is severed.

Abstract
An illumination device is disclosed generally comprising a translucent housing with a plurality of light sources and a power source disposed therein. The light sources emit very high intensity light and are arranged such that light emanates from the housing omnidirectionally in order illuminate the entire surrounding area. In some embodiments, light emitting diodes of at least 3000 MCD and wide viewing angles are employed. In certain embodiments, a housing specifically adapted for easy power source replacement and disconnection of the power source is utilized.

12. An illumination device, comprising:
-
a translucent housing; a plurality of light sources disposed in said housing for radiating light; and at least one replaceable power source disposed in said housing for powering said light sources; wherein said light sources are arranged in said housing such that light radiates from said housing omnidirectionally; wherein said first portion is rotatable with respect to said second portion such that, when said first portion is rotated from a locked position to an unlocked position, said first portion is separable from said second portion; wherein said first portion includes a first coupling surface having a gap therein; wherein said second portion includes a second coupling surface for engaging the first coupling surface; and wherein said second portion includes a protuberance protruding from the second surface for holding said second portion adjacent said first portion, the protuberance corresponding to the shape of the gap such that, when said first portion is rotated to the unlocked position, the protuberance is slideable through the gap to separate said first portion from said second portion. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. An illumination device, comprising:
-
a housing having an outer surface, said housing comprising; a first housing portion having a first translucent surface comprising part of the outer surface of said housing; and a second housing portion coupled to said first housing portion along a plane having an x-axis and a y-axis, said second housing portion having a second translucent surface comprising part of the outer surface of said housing; at least one light source disposed in said first housing portion for radiating light through the first translucent surface, wherein said at least one light source is positioned such that light radiates away from the plane in approximately one hundred and eighty degrees along both the x-axis and the y-axis of the plane; at least one additional light source disposed in said second housing portion for radiating light through the second translucent surface, wherein said at least one additional light source is positioned such that light radiates away from the plane in approximately one hundred and eighty degrees along both the x-axis and the y-axis of the plane; and at least one replaceable power source disposed in said housing for powering said light sources. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
