In some embodiments, the lighting device 100 can be mounted in or on a vehicle. In certain embodiments, the lighting device 100 is disposed at a body of the vehicle. In some embodiments, the illumination device 100 is disposed corresponding to a recess of one of the bodies of the vehicle. In some embodiments, the recess is used to store a storage space for an item such as, but not limited to, a helmet, a bag, or the like.

In some embodiments, the lighting device 100 can be mounted at a scooter 200 as shown in FIG. The motorcycle 200 includes a main body 201. The body 201 defines a recess 202. The lighting device 100 is provided corresponding to the recess 202 of the bicycle 200. In some embodiments, the recess 202 is used to store a storage bin of an item such as, but not limited to, a helmet, a bag, and the like.

Referring back to FIG. 1, the illumination device 100 includes a light source 101. In some embodiments, the light source 101 can be mounted to a vehicle. In some embodiments, the light source 101 can be mounted in a vehicle or on a vehicle. In some embodiments, the light source 101 is mounted corresponding to the recess 202 of the vehicle and is configured to illuminate the recess 202 of the vehicle. Light source 101 can emit a light beam. In certain embodiments, light source 101 includes a filament, a light bulb, a light emitting diode (LED) lamp, a light emitting device, or the like.

In some embodiments, light source 101 is electrically coupled to an electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle. In some embodiments, light source 101 is electrically coupled to a power source 104. In some embodiments, the light source 101 is by any suitable means (such as an electric Lines, conductive lines, wireless transmissions, etc.) are electrically coupled to the ECU or power source 104.

In some embodiments, the light source 101 can be detached from the vehicle. The light source 101 can be detached from the body 201 of the vehicle 200 or away from the recess 202 of the body 201 of the vehicle 200 to facilitate the carrying of the light source 101 for use. The light source 101 can be detached and carried away from the vehicle. In some embodiments, light source 101 can function as a portable flashlight. For example, a user can detach the light source 101 from the vehicle and carry the light source 101 to illuminate wherever desired. In some embodiments, illumination device 100 further includes a power storage device such as, but not limited to, a battery. The power storage device can be charged when the light source 101 is attached to the vehicle or electrically connected to the ECU or power source 104. In some embodiments, the power storage device of light source 101 can provide power to light source 101 when light source 101 is detached from the vehicle.

In some embodiments, illumination device 100 includes a switch 102. In some embodiments, the switch 102 is integral with or separate from the light source 101. In some embodiments, the switch 102 is electrically coupled to the light source 101. In some embodiments, light source 101 and switch 102 are electrically coupled by a circuit 103. In some embodiments, switch 102 controls the opening and closing of circuit 103. In certain embodiments, the switch 102 is disposed inside or outside the recess of the vehicle. In some embodiments, the switch 102 is electrically coupled to an ECU of the vehicle.

In some embodiments, switch 102 and light source 101 are coupled to a power source 104. In some embodiments, the power source 104 is disposed inside or outside the recess of the vehicle. In some embodiments, the power source 104 is located remotely from the switch 102 and/or the light source 101. In some embodiments, the power source 104 is electrically coupled to the ECU of the vehicle.

In some embodiments, the switch 102 is operated by magnetic force to control the light source 101. The light source 101 is turned on or off in response to the application or non-application of a magnetic force. In some embodiments, the switch 102 is a magnetic switch. In some embodiments, the switch 102 includes one arm that is moveable by magnetic force. In some embodiments, light source 101 is turned "on" or "off" by moving a magnetic member 105 or magnet. When the magnetic component 105 is displaced adjacent to the arm of the switch 102, the switch 102 switches the circuit 103 from closed to open. When the magnetic component 105 is displaced away from the switch At the arm of 102, switch 102 switches circuit 103 from open to closed. Therefore, the light source 101 can be turned on or off by the magnetic force from the magnetic member 105. Therefore, the light source 101 can be turned on or off by a magnet.

Figure 1 illustrates that circuit 103 is disconnected by switch 102 and thus light source 101 is turned off. On the other hand, Figure 2 illustrates that the circuit 103 is closed by the switch 102 and thus the light source 101 is turned on. In some embodiments as shown in FIG. 1, switch 102 is opened by moving magnetic member 105 closer to the arm of switch 102. In certain embodiments, the arms of the switch 102 are repelled by the magnetic component 105 to open the circuit 103 and thus turn off the light source 101. Therefore, when the magnetic member 105 is moved closer to the arm of the switch 102, the light source 101 does not emit light.

In some embodiments as shown in FIG. 2, the switch 102 is closed by moving the magnetic member 105 away from the arm of the switch 102. In some embodiments, the arms of switch 102 move toward conductive lines or circuitry 103, thereby closing circuit 103 to turn on light source 101. When the magnetic member 105 is moved away from the arm of the switch 102, the switch 102 is closed, and thus, the light source 101 is turned on.

In certain embodiments, the switch 102 is typically closed, as shown in FIG. In some embodiments, switch 102 typically closes circuit 103. Circuitry 103 is also typically closed and the light source is typically illuminated. In some embodiments, when the magnetic component 105 is moved toward the arm of the switch 102, the switch 102 switches from closed to open (switching from Figure 2 to Figure 1). When the magnetic member 105 is placed adjacent to the arm of the switch 102, the switch 102 becomes disconnected. Therefore, the circuit 103 is switched from closed to open, and the light source is switched from being turned on to being turned off.

In some embodiments, when the magnetic component 105 is moved away from the arm of the switch 102, the switch 102 is switched off (as illustrated in Figure 1) to be closed (as illustrated in Figure 2). When the magnetic force of the magnetic member 105 does not affect the arm of the switch 102, the switch 102 becomes closed. Therefore, the switch 102 returns to the closed position. Circuit 103 switches from off to closed and the source switches from being turned off to being turned on.

3 and 4 illustrate the inclusion and control for sensing magnetic force, according to an embodiment One of the sensors 108 of the switch 102 illuminates the device 100. Switch 102 can be opened or closed in response to a change in sensor 108 sensing. In some embodiments, the sensor 108 can sense one of the electromagnetic fields within a predetermined distance of the sensor 108. For example, the sensor 108 is a magnetic sensor. In some embodiments, the sensor 108 can sense a change in an electromagnetic field (EM field) within a predetermined distance of the sensor 108 (such as one of the EM field intensities when a magnet approaches the sensor 108) One of the EM fields is increased or decreased when a magnet moves away from the sensor 108). As shown in FIG. 3, when the magnetic component 105 is moved to abut the sensor 108, the sensor 108 can turn off the switch 102, and thus, the light source 101 is turned off. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, when the magnetic component 105 is moved away from the sensor 108, the sensor 108 can close the switch 102, and thus, the light source can be turned on.

In some embodiments, the sensor 108 is integral with the switch 102. In some embodiments, the sensor is a magnetic sensor configured to sense a change in one of the magnetic fields adjacent to one of the locations of the sensor. The magnetic sensor itself (rather than a separate switch 102) can be used as a magnetic switch to open or close the control circuit 103 in response to a change in the magnetic field in a position adjacent to the magnetic sensor or switch 102. (ie, the light source 101 is turned on or off).

In some embodiments, the sensor 108 is integral with the light source 101. Thus, the light source 101 can be used to control the opening or closing of the circuit 103 (i.e., turn the light source 101 on or off) in response to a change in the magnetic field in the position of one of the adjacent sensors 108 or light sources 101. In some embodiments, light source 101, switch 102, and sensor 108 are all integrated together.

In certain embodiments, the outer casing 106 can be detached from the vehicle 200. In some embodiments, the housing 106 containing the nano light source 101 is portable and can function as a portable lighting device (such as a portable flashlight). In some embodiments, the housing 106 further includes a power storage device for providing a power to the light source 101, and the light source 101 can generate light by the power storage device when the housing 106 is detached from the vehicle 200. In some embodiments, the power storage device can be charged while the outer casing 106 is connected to the vehicle 200.

In certain embodiments, the outer casing 106 comprises a translucent or transparent material. In some embodiments, certain portions 106a of the outer casing 106 are made of a translucent or transparent material that is at least transparent to visible light. In certain embodiments, the outer casing 106 is made of a plastic material or the like. In some embodiments, the housing 106 can transmit a beam of light radiated from the source 101. Thus, light from the light source 101 can pass through the outer casing 106 and illuminate the recess 202 of the vehicle 200. In some embodiments, the light source 101 can be used to illuminate other desired spaces when the outer casing 106 containing the translucent or transparent material is detached from the vehicle 200.

In some embodiments, when the magnetic component 105 is moved away from the magnetic switch 102 (where the magnetic force of the magnetic component 105 no longer affects the magnetic switch 102 or the magnetic sensor 108), the magnetic switch 102 switches from off to closed ( Switch from Figure 7 to Figure 8). Thus, circuit 103 switches from off to closed and the source switches from off to on.

FIG. 10 illustrates that the frame 301 is covered by a cover 303. In some embodiments, the magnetic component 105 used to switch the light source 101 is disposed at a cover 303 that is configured to cover one of the openings 302 of the recess 202 of the frame 301. In some embodiments, one end 303a of cover 303 is hinged.

FIG. 11 illustrates that the cover 303 is opened from the recess 202 or the frame 301. The cover 303 pivots about one of the connections to the end 303a of the cover 303 to open from the recess 202 or frame 301 such that the recess 202 or opening 302 is accessible.

In some embodiments, the cover 303 is movable between an open position (where the recess 202 is accessible through the opening 302) and a closed position (where the recess 202 is covered by the cover 303). Cover 303 is in the closed position as shown in Figure 7, and cover 303 is in the open position as shown in Figure 8. When the cover 303 is in the open position, the items stored in the recess 202 are accessible and the item can be removed from the recess 202 or placed into the recess 202.

Referring back to Figure 10, when the cover 303 is in the closed position, the magnetic switch 102 is broken because the magnetic member 105 on the cover 303 is moved adjacent to the magnetic switch 102 or the magnetic sensor 108. Therefore, when the cover 303 is in the closed position, the light source 101 does not emit light.

Referring back to Figure 11, the magnetic switch 102 is closed when the cover is in the open position. As the magnetic component 105 is moved away from the magnetic switch 102, the magnetic switch 102 switches to close. Therefore, the light source 101 emits light when the cover is in the open position.

In some embodiments, the magnetic component 105 is disposed on a peripheral portion 303b of the cover 303. In some embodiments, the magnetic component 105 is disposed at one end of the cover 303. In some embodiments, the magnetic component 105 is disposed on a back side of one of the covers 303 that face the recess 202.

In some embodiments, the cover 303 is configured for a person to sit on. In some implementations In the example, one of the front sides of the cover 303 opposite the back side (where the magnetic member 105 can be placed) is configured for one person to sit on. In some embodiments as shown in FIG. 12, the lid 303 is in the closed position and a person can sit on the front side of the lid 303 to ride the vehicle 200. In contrast, when the cover 303 is in the open position as shown in FIG. 13, one cannot sit on the front side of the cover 303.

In some embodiments, the light source 101 or housing 106 is disposed within one of the sidewalls 203 or sidewalls 203 of the recess 202. In some embodiments, the frame 301 includes a slot 304 for inserting the light source 101 or the outer casing 106, as shown in FIG. In certain embodiments, the slot 304 is disposed in one side portion 301b of the frame 301.
