Abstract

A flashlight with light emitting diode (LED) sources that produce at least two different colors and at least two other activatable components. The colored LEDs and activatable components cycle on and off using two separate switches. One switch cycles preferably white LEDs on and off. Another switch preferably cycles between a non-white LEDs and two other activatable components and combinations thereof. The activatable components include strobes, sirens, GPS tracking, emergency calling, radio, weather notification, laser light, and light not visible to humans.

Claims (22)

1. A flashlight comprising:

a. a body, the body having an exterior and further including within it:

b. a first white light wavelength light source disposed within body;

c. a second wavelength light source disposed within the body;

d. a first and a second additional activatable non-illuminatory emergency component within the body;

e. a first switch disposed on the exterior of the body that is operable to activate functioning of the first white light source; and

f. a second switch disposed on the exterior of the body that is operable to asynchronously cycle through the activation of the second wavelength light source, the first activatable component, the second activatable component and combinations thereof.

2. The flashlight of claim 1 wherein another one of the at least two additional activatable components is a strobe component capable of causing the second light source to repetitively activate and deactivate.

3. The flashlight of claim 1 wherein one of the at least two additional activatable components is a siren component capable of producing a noise.

4. The flashlight of claim 1 wherein one of the at least two additional activatable components is a GPS tracking component.

5. The flashlight of claim 1 wherein one of the at least two additional activatable components is an emergency call component.

6. The flashlight of claim 1 wherein one of the at least two additional activatable components is a radio component.

7. The flashlight of claim 1 wherein one of the at least two additional activatable components is a weather notification component.

8. The flashlight of claim 1 wherein one of the at least two additional activatable components is a laser light source.

9. The flashlight of claim 1 wherein one of the at least two additional activatable components is a second light source capable of producing light not visible by humans.

10. A flashlight comprising:

a body, the body further including within it:

a first white light wavelength light source disposed within the body having an exterior;

a second wavelength light source disposed within the body;

a first and a second additional activatable emergency component within the body selected from the group consisting of a strobe, a siren, a GPS tracking component, an emergency call component, a radio, a weather notification component, and a laser;

a first switch disposed on the exterior of the body that is operable to activate functioning of the first white light source; and

a second switch disposed on the exterior of the body that is operable to asynchronously cycle through the activation of the second wavelength light source, the first activatable component, the second activatable component and combinations thereof.
