An LED light is operated in both continuous steady output and, as desired, a periodic high power burst of light that drives the LED beyond its rated output for short periods. A single cost effective circuit to perform both types of control delivers highly regulated output under both high power burst mode and continuous mode while maintaining maximum feedback resolution in the primary (continuous) output mode. Active elements are used to switch the signals from conventional current sensing elements through a controlled scaling network before joining the rest of the regulating circuit. This results in ability to produce a high efficiency, well-regulated, fast rise and fall, rectangular average peak value waveform, electric current pulse to power a single or combination of LEDs to a high output level, effecting a transition between a constant lighting level and a higher output, pulsed duration lighting level for photographic and motion image capture. 1.

I, Robert Nichols Holden, have researched the Pole light in the USPTO database and have found no other patents of its equal. I therefore claim that this invention to be justifiable in its authenticity and originality. Furthermore, the pole light is a multiple use Utility invention for lighting dark and dimly lit work areas with the attachment of the device onto sanding poles, painting poles or other tools that use a handle of various diameters to accomplish tasks. The pole lights ease of use with quick attachment and adjustment for the beams focus for the task to be completed. No related applicationsNo Federally sponsored research or developmentNo parties to joint research agreementsNo Sequence listingNo prior disclosuresThis was developed to help the construction worker to illuminate their work. Most notably the sander of a sheetrock installation. This light, being attached to end of a sanding pole, helps to see imperfections in the sheetrock compound so they can be lightly sanded out before the application of paint makes them stand out. With many other uses including paint rollers on poles, brooms or any other need involving a pole and needed lighting.The Pole Light is a tubular shaped molded plastic body which opens along its length. A Pole, handle or such is placed inside and then it closes around the pole with grabbers that adjust to various pole diameters. There is a LED band of lights around the front end which illuminates in a 360′ field of view. This beam can be adjusted by sliding the Pole Light forward and backwards on the pole to make the lit circle larger or smaller as needed.
