Abstract

A light ( 10 ) comprising: a cup-shaped, substantially rigid base ( 12 ) having a circumferential ridge ( 14 ) on the outer wall ( 16 ) of the base ( 12 ); a battery ( 18 ) having first and second poles ( 20, 22 ) within the base ( 12 ); a PCB ( 24 ) overlying the battery ( 18 ) within the base ( 12 ), the PCB ( 24 ) having a plurality of apertures ( 26 ) therein, at least one of the apertures ( 26 ) containing a LED ( 28 ) having first and second lead-ins ( 20 a , 22 a ), a first of the lead-ins ( 20 a ) being electrically connected to the first pole ( 20 ) via a connector ( 30 ); switch means ( 32 ) associated with the PCB ( 24 ) electrically connecting the second lead-in ( 22 a ) to the second pole ( 22 ); and a cup-shaped, flexible, translucent cover ( 34 ) on the base, the wall ( 36 ) of the cover ( 34 ) engaging the outer wall ( 16 ) and the circumferential ridge ( 14 ).

Claims (10)

1. A light comprising:

a cup-shaped, substantially rigid base having a circumferential ridge on the outer wall of said base;

a battery having first and second poles within said base;

a PCB overlying said battery within said base, said PCB having a plurality of apertures therein, at least one of said apertures containing a LED having first and second lead-ins, a first of said lead-ins being electrically connected to said first pole via a connector;

switch means associated with said PCB electrically connecting said second lead-in to said second pole; and

a cup-shaped, flexible, translucent cover on said base, the wall of said cover engaging said outer wall and said circumferential ridge.

2. The light of claim 1 wherein said LED emits light of a given color and said translucent cover substantially matches said given color.

3. The light of claim 1 wherein said base includes a permanent magnet.

4. The light of claim 1 wherein a transparent concavo-convex disc overlies said PCB and covers said LED; said disc including pressure-relieving means.
