Claims (22)

1. A lighting device comprising:

at least one light source;

a switch device coupled to a power source and the light source;

a light source body coupled to the light source, the light source body includes a separate upper portion and a separate lower portion that couple to each other forming an opening for coupling around a handle of a utility bag, wherein the separate upper portion includes a first upper fastening portion and a second upper fastening portion, and the separate lower portion includes a first lower fastening portion and a second lower fastening portion, the first upper fastening portion couples to the first lower fastening portion with a first fastener, the second upper fastening portion couples to the second lower fastening portion with a second fastener, and the separate lower portion includes a hand grip portion;

a first anchor device coupled to a first end of the light source body;

a second anchor device coupled to a second end of the light source body, wherein the first anchor device and the second anchor device are each coupled to a sleeve that is coupled to the handle of a utility bag;

wherein the light source body rotates around the handle for multi-positional lighting, the light source comprises a plurality of light emitting diodes, the first anchor device and the second anchor device are fixed to the sleeve via compression for friction, and the light source provides positional lighting to an interior portion of a utility bag and for targeting lighting away from the utility bag.

2. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the switch device comprises a sensor device.

3. The lighting device of claim 2 , wherein the sensor comprises a position determining sensor, a light sensor, or a combination of the position determining sensor and the light sensor.

4. The lighting device of claim 1 , wherein the light source body is permanently affixed to the handle of the utility bag.

5. A lighting device kit comprising:

a light source coupled to the first body portion;

a switch device coupled to a power source and the light source, wherein the power source comprises one or more batteries;

a first anchor device coupled to a first end of the light source body;

a second anchor device coupled to a second end of the light source body, wherein

the first anchor device and the second anchor device are each couple to a sleeve that couples to the handle of the utility bag,

wherein the light source body is removably coupled to the handle, the light source body rotates around the handle, the light source comprises a plurality of light emitting diodes, the first anchor device and the second anchor device are fixed to the sleeve via compression for friction, and the light source provides positional lighting to an interior portion of a utility bag and for targeting lighting away from the utility bag.

6. The lighting device kit of claim 5 ,

wherein the switch device comprises a sensor device.

7. The lighting device kit of claim 6 , wherein the utility bag comprises a plastic bucket that includes a wire carrying portion.

8. The lighting device kit of claim 7 , further comprising an insert coupled internally to a bucket handle, wherein the light source body is coupled over the bucket handle.
