Abstract: A light seat for a portable light has a handle, a light fixture and a universal adjustment assembly. The universal adjustment assembly pivotally connects the light fixture to the handle. The universal adjustment assembly has an adjustment sphere, two lateral adjustment devices and a longitudinal adjustment device. The adjustment sphere is pivotally mounted in the housing. The lateral adjustment devices are rotatably mounted in two non-circular recesses in the adjustment sphere and are securely connected to the light fixture. The longitudinal adjustment device is attached to the adjustment sphere and is rotatably mounted in the handle. With such a light seat, the light fixture can be adjusted relative to the handle in any direction, and the use of a portable light with the light seat is versatile.
