Abstract: A working lamp with wire-winding device, including a working lamp, a light shade, a hanging hook body, a wire box and an adjustment ball. The light shade is made of opaque material and fitted on the outer tube. The outer tube with the light shade is passed through the hanging hook body, whereby the working lamp can be conveniently hung or stand in use. The light shade serves to shade the strong light directly projected onto the eyes of a worker. A front, a middle and a rear sections of the working lamp are fitted with collisionproof blocks. A pressing rod and a guide rod are disposed at the wire releasing port of the wire box. The adjustment ball is positioned therebetween. The working lamp is shockproof and collisionproof. When not used, the excessive wire is tidily collected in the wire box and stopped by the adjustment ball with a certain length of wire reserved for the working lamp. The working lamp can be conveniently and mobilely used without occupying much room.
