Abstract: A drop cord extension light having a light assembly with a grippable handle portion and a lamp and reflector swingably mounted thereto. A support swingably mounts the handle enabling the light and reflector to be rotated in mutually orthogonal directions relative to the axis of rotation of the support. A clamping/stand assembly has a pair of arms swingably mounted to opposite ends of the support. Torsion springs are also swingably mounted to the support and in a first position clamp the support arms together and in a second position release the support arms so that they may be swung open to assume an inverted, V-shaped configuration serving as a support stand for the lamp assembly. The lamp may be swung to a position between the arms of the support stand when not in use and an extension cord wrapped about the arms and the lamp assembly thereby storing the electric cord in a neat, compact manner and further encircling and protecting the lamp and reflector.
