Abstract

An LED light device has a generally spherical body with a a plurality of projections radiating outwardly therefrom, each of said projections having a distal end and at least one of said projections has a magnet at its distal end. The body encloses a power source and carries at least one LED light aimed outwardly therefrom. The device has the appearance of a spiked military water mine.

Claims

1. An LED light device having a generally symmetrical body, said body enclosing a power source and carrying at least one LED light aimed outwardly therefrom, said body having a general shape of a sphere with a plurality of horns extending outwardly therefrom, each of said horns having a distal end and extending beyond said sphere and at least one of said horns having a magnet at its distal end;

wherein said horns are generally cylindrical projections and said horns are equally spaced about said body

each said horn has a cylindrical diameter and each said magnet on said horn has a cylindrical shape with a cylindrical diameter smaller than the cylindrical diameter of said horn.

2. An LED light device as in claim 1, wherein each distal end of each of said horns has a magnet thereon.

3. An LED light device as in claim 1, wherein said body has 12 horns.

4. An LED light device as in claim 1, wherein said body is comprised of molded thermoplastic material.

5. An LED light device as in claim 1, wherein said device has an electrical switch for controlling said LED light.
