Abstract:
1. A light emitting device comprising: a housing comprising a substantially elliptical perimeter, an elongated aperture for accepting digits of a user's hand, and a midplane defining first and second portions of the housing; a first light emitting source positioned in the housing for projecting a beam of light into a distance in front of the user; a second light emitting source positioned in a bottom surface of the housing for projecting a beam of light toward a surface proximate the user's feet; and a handle between the aperture and the substantially elliptical perimeter for gripping the light emitting device and wherein the elliptical perimeter distributes a weight of the light emitting device substantially evenly across the user's grip to prevent the user's grip from becoming fatigued; and a switch for energizing or deenergizing the first and second light emitting source, the switch being positioned on a top surface of the housing wherein the switch and the second light emitting source are positioned on opposite surfaces with respect to each other wherein the first light emitting source, the second light emitting source and the switch all intersect the midplane of the housing.
