Patent ID: 8066402

Claim:
A light emitting diode work light, comprising: a handle section and a head section, and a plurality of light emitting diodes mounted in the head section, and means for the plurality of light emitting diodes to receive electrical power, wherein: each light emitting diode within the plurality of light emitting diodes is associated with a lens that is located forward of its associated light emitting diode, the lens associated with each light emitting diode in the plurality of light emitting diodes forms a beam by projecting an image of the forward region of its associated light emitting diode, and wherein all of the said lenses associated with light emitting diodes in the plurality of light emitting diodes form beams that merge together to form a useful combined beam substantially between 40 and 90 degrees, and wherein the plurality of light emitting diodes comprise: one or more red light emitting diodes, one or more green light emitting diodes, one or more white light emitting diodes, and wherein the plurality of light emitting diodes produces light that is mixed to produce a combined light output that has color approximating that of a blackbody radiator and having a correlated color temperature of 3,800 to 5,400 Kelvin, and wherein the photometric output from the one or more green light emitting diodes exceeds the photometric output of the one or more red light emitting diodes.
