Lighting device
First Claim
1. A lighting device comprising:
- a lighting device body containing a battery compartment, said lighting device body having a terminal mounting edge;
a light housing having a rear face and a forward cover, said light housing enclosing a plurality of light source assemblies and said light housing rests against the lighting device body in a retracted position;
wherein each light source assembly includes at least one LED, which is disposed in a hollow tubular lens of the light source assemblies; and
wherein the light housing is rotatably attached to the terminal mounting edge so the forward face of the light housing can be selectively repositioned between 180° and
225°
relative to the retracted position.

Abstract
The present invention provides a lighting device having a light housing including a light source being rotatably connected by a rotatable connection means to a lighting device body, said body having said rotatable connection means positioned so as to allow said light housing to lay adjacent said body and to define therebetween a narrow space which is accessible in a base to top direction.
The present invention also provides a light housing for a lighting device, said light housing including a light source holder at one end thereof, said light housing also including means to receive a mounting member at one end of said light housing opposite to said light source holder, said light housing being characterised by said light source holder allowing limited pivotal movement of said light source when said light source is mounted in said light source holder, said limited pivotal movement being in the range of 5° to 30°.
The present invention further provides a method of assembling a light housing as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, said method including the steps of: attaching said cover to said box; inserting said tubular lens through said aperture; engaging said spigot with one end of said tubular lens; inserting said lighting source into the second end of said tubular lens; and securing said light source to said housing.
The present invention also provides light housing for a lighting device, said light housing including a first and second face and sides there around, a first side having a mounting spigot to receive one end of a tubular lens, and a second side opposite to said first side having an aperture therethrough, through which aperture tubular lens can pass and in which is received the other end of said tubular lens, said aperture and said mounting spigot being aligned. having a plurality of light source assemblies and the light housing rests against a device body in a retracted position. Each light source assembly includes at least one LED disposed in a hollow tubular lens of the light source assemblies.

20. A lighting device, comprising:
-
a body, including;
a terminal mounting edge; and
a battery compartment that receives a battery;
a light source assembly, including;
a light emitting diode (LED), which is illuminated with power supplied by the battery; and
a tubular lens, wherein the LED and the tubular lens are separate and distinct components of the light source assembly and the LED is partially disposed in the tubular lens; and
a lighting housing, including;
a rear face; and
a forward cover, wherein the lighting housing;
encloses the light source assembly;
rests against the body in a retracted position, and is pivotably attached to the terminal mounting edge so as to selectively pivot between 180° and
225°
relative to the retracted position.
