Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an emergency bracelet-type lighting device, and more specifically, to an emergency bracelet-type lighting device in which a strap portion coupled to a lighting module portion is provided in a bracelet form that is detachably fixed to the user's body, thereby allowing the user to be active while wearing the present invention on their body during normal activities and to use the present invention quickly in the event of an emergency. Furthermore, the distance to an object is measured by a distance measuring sensor portion, and based on this, the concentration of light emitted from a light source portion is adjusted, thereby enabling the user to effectively check the situation ahead even in a dark surrounding environment. Background Technology

[0003] Traditional emergency flashlights are typically mounted on a stand and used.

[0004] However, in chaotic environments during evacuation, it is often difficult to quickly detach an emergency flashlight from its stand.

[0005] This results in a problem where the user is not provided with the light they need immediately.

[0006] In addition, there is a risk of easily losing emergency flashlights, which can have a significant impact on life and safety in emergency situations.

[0007] In addition, when using a flashlight in an emergency, there is a problem in that one's hands are not free, making it difficult to perform other tasks.

[0008] In addition, conventional flashlights emit light at a constant angle regardless of distance, so they have limitations in that distant objects are not clearly visible and only nearby objects can be effectively illuminated.

[0009] These problems threaten user safety in emergency situations and act as factors that hinder the effective use of emergency flashlights.

[0010] Therefore, the development of technology capable of solving such problems is required. Prior art literature
