Light emitting grenade

摘要

A lamp in the form of a hand grenade has high intensity light emitting diodes at its surface and contains a battery, radio receiver and antenna to allow remote activation and control. The grenade may be coupled via a magnetic switch to triggering devices such as a trip wire or geophone and the LEDs may emit visible and / or infra red radiation. The type of radiation and the period for which the lamp operates may be adjusted over the radio frequency link. A spike at the base of the grenade may be used to secure it to the ground, or the grenade may be thrown once a push button activator has been depressed to initiate delayed activation. The device is designed for use by the police or military to illuminate or disorientate targets.
