A clear, hollow cylindrical tube having an internal circuit board with LED
lights provides a lighting and flashing illumination device. The LED
lights may either all be illuminated at once, or have certain LEDs with
constant illumination while other LEDs may be placed into a flashing
mode. The power source for the lighting and flashing apparatus includes
either standard or rechargeable batteries and a 12-volt external source.
The 12-volt external source may also be used to recharge the rechargeable
batteries. The cylinder has an upper collar with both magnetic and hook
hanging mechanisms. The rechargeable LED lighting and flashing apparatus
provides much more illumination than a flashlight using standard charging
and lighting electrical parts.
