A multimode lighting system is disclosed. Due to industry standards, manufacturers of lighting devices are incentivized to create high initial light outputs that drop off quickly. Portable lighting devices with multiple modes of operation that can maximize light output and runtime according to industry standards (e.g., FL-1) as well as other lighting modes with more consistent light output over the device runtime. Lighting modes may be adjusted automatically based on sensor input. In an extreme mode, light output may be adjusted based on the temperature of the lights. Automatic modes may be adjusted based on ambient lighting or distance to a target. Lifecycle adjustments may be made to output current levels to obtain consistent light output throughout the lifecycle of lights by adjusting lighting based on accumulated usage.

A flashlight with a holster charging system is disclosed. A charging holster may provide powered storage for the flashlight and provide extra power for use in other devices such as headlamps. The holster may attach, via a clip, onto the belt, pocket, or bag of a user so they may carry the flashlight while the flashlight recharges. A user may be able to use the flashlight while charging the flashlight in the holster. The holster may have an aperture for an attached flashlight to shine through while electrically coupled to the holster. Charging contacts on the charging holster may be configured to contact charging rings on the flashlight to couple the flashlight to charging circuitry. Power and mode buttons at the rear of the flashlight may enable the flashlight to be powered and operational mode changed on while holstered no matter the orientation the flashlight in the holster.

The broad view headlamp includes a plurality of light sources that illuminate an area in front of the headlamp, an area adjacent to each side of the headlamp, and an area below the headlamp. The headlamp includes a number of lighting modes, such that any one of the light sources can be operated individually or in combination with any one or more of the remaining light sources. The headlamp housing has multiple lighting compartments, each having one or more light sources disposed therein. Each compartment includes an optical lens. The various light sources, together with the optical lenses, allow the headlamp to illuminate a view area extending to, at least, the outer boundaries of the far peripheral vision of the human eye, i.e., 110 degrees to the right and left of center. Thus, the total combined view area illuminated by the headlamp is at least 220 degrees.

A portable lighting device control module configured to adjust lighting operations of a portable lighting device. In some examples, the control module may interpret real-time user gestures and external conditions of the portable lighting device to modifying lighting operations. The control module installed within a portable lighting device may be configured to permit automatic dimming of LEDs, enable a low power standby mode in absence of motion being detected, automatic mode adjustments in response to low battery determination, adjustment to lantern mode when a bump gesture is detected, continuous alternation between modes within lantern mode by detecting subsequent bump gestures, exiting lantern mode by detecting orientation, locking the lighting operation to a specific mode by determining orienting as either upwards or downwards, switching between modes by performing twist and return gestures, switching between modes by performing whip gestures, instantaneously dimming the light intensity by twisting the portable lighting device.
