Patent ID: 7954971

Claim:
A mountable light, comprising: a light body, wherein the light body includes a battery compartment positioned within a cavity formed by the light body; a light hood proximate the light body, wherein the light hood comprises a light source; at least three electrical contacts formed in the light body, wherein the at least three electrical contacts comprise at least one inner contact and at least two outer contacts; a controller, wherein the controller is electrically coupled to an appropriate voltage source housed within the battery compartment, the inner contact, the outer contacts, and the light source such that when electrical contact is made between the inner contact and one of the outer contacts, the controller controls the light source to illuminate in a predetermined manner; a light switch bar pivotably coupled to the light body, wherein the light switch bar is pivotable between a naturally biased center position to at least one switch activation position; wherein the light switch bar includes at least one electrical contact means that makes direct, simultaneous electrical contact with the two outer contacts when the light switch bar is in the naturally biased center position and makes direct electrical contact between the inner contact and one of the outer contacts when the light switch bar is in a switch activation position, such that, when the light switch bar is pivoted from the naturally biased center position to a switch activation position, a portion of the electrical contact means continues to make direct electrical contact with one of the outer contacts and another portion of the electrical contact means makes direct electrical contact with the inner contact; and an accessory mounting clamp coupled to the mountable light, wherein the accessory mounting clamp is capable of mounting the mountable light to an accessory rail.
