Lighting device with switchable light sources
First Claim
1. A lighting device comprising:
- a plurality of light sources;
a body comprising a housing;
a head comprising;
a bezel adapted to rotate relative to the body to select between at least a first one of the light sources and a second one of the light sources, anda lens adapted to rotate eccentrically relative to a centerline of the head in response to rotation of the bezel, wherein the lens comprises a light inlet adapted to be selectively positioned over the first light source, the second light source, or neither of the light sources as the lens rotates eccentrically relative to the centerline of the head; and
one or more controls adapted to adjust operation of the light sources.

Abstract
Various lighting device implementations and related methods may be used to selectively provide various types of light in response to user-actuated controls. In one example, a lighting device includes a plurality of light sources, a body, a head, and one or more controls adapted to adjust operation of the light sources. The body includes a housing. The head includes a bezel adapted to rotate relative to the body to select between at least a first one of the light sources and a second one of the light sources. The head also includes a lens adapted to rotate eccentrically relative to a centerline of the head in response to rotation of the bezel. The lens includes a light inlet adapted to be selectively positioned over the first light source, the second light source, or neither of the light sources as the lens rotates eccentrically relative to the centerline of the head.

19. A method of operating a lighting device, the lighting device comprising a plurality of light sources, a head comprising a bezel, a lens, and a lock ring, a body comprising a housing, and one or more controls adapted to adjust operation of the light sources, the method comprising:
-
urging the lock ring from a locked position to an unlocked position, wherein the lock ring is adapted to prevent rotation of the bezel while the lock ring is in the locked position and permit rotation of the bezel while the lock ring is in the unlocked position; rotating the bezel to select a first one of the light sources or a second one of the light sources, wherein the rotating causes the lens to rotate eccentrically relative to a centerline of the head, wherein the lens comprises a light inlet adapted to be selectively positioned over the first light source, the second light source, or neither of the light sources as the lens rotates eccentrically relative to the centerline of the head; and returning the lock ring to the locked position. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

33. A lighting system comprising:
-
a lighting device comprising; a plurality of light sources, a body comprising a housing, a connector, and a mounting surface, a head comprising; a bezel adapted to rotate relative to the body to select between at least a first one of the light sources and a second one of the light sources, and a lens adapted to rotate eccentrically relative to a centerline of the head in response to rotation of the bezel, wherein the lens comprises a light inlet adapted to be selectively positioned over the first light source, the second light source, or neither of the light sources as the lens rotates eccentrically relative to the centerline of the head, and one or more controls adapted to adjust operation of the light sources; a remote switch, wherein the connector is adapted to receive the remote switch to control at least one of the light sources; and a rail clamp mount, wherein the mounting surface is adapted to engage with the rail clamp mount to attach the lighting device to a weapon.

34. A lighting device comprising:
-
a plurality of light sources; a body comprising a housing; a head comprising; a bezel adapted to rotate relative to the body to select between at least a first one of the light sources and a second one of the light sources, and a reflector adapted to rotate eccentrically relative to a centerline of the head in response to rotation of the bezel, wherein the reflector comprises a light inlet adapted to be selectively positioned over the first light source, the second light source, or neither of the light sources as the reflector rotates eccentrically relative to the centerline of the head; and one or more controls adapted to adjust operation of the light sources. - View Dependent Claims (35)
