Abstract: A portable worklight having at least two base sections that are operable between open and closed positions. The base sections are pivotally connected and when in a closed position, the base sections nest together. When in an open position, the base sections support said worklight in an upright position by providing opposingly located support sections.

Abstract: A halogen light fixture that houses at least one halogen lamp and is mountable to a support surface. The fixture includes an elongated housing having opposing ends and an interior space in which the halogen light source located. The fixture is mounted to a surface by mounts that secure the fixture to the support surface. The mounts are also opposingly located on the housing and are adapted to releasably engage a plurality of locations on a surface of the housing which causes the housing to tilt is a predetermined manner thereby allowing light to be directionally positioned.

Abstract: A halogen shop light having an elongated housing defining an interior space and mountable to a support surface and which includes an external receptacle. The light also includes a light source comprised of a housing, handle, lens, halogen lamp, and outwardly extending post which terminates in a ball like free end. A second post extending from the housing is also provided. The second post has inner and outer sleeves which are rotatably connected. There is also a socket in the second post which receives the ball-like free end to form an universally rotatable ball and socket connection. Wiring for energizing the lamp and the external receptacle is further provided and the wiring is placed in a channel which travels through the posts and ball.

Abstract: A portable worklight having a protective outer casing which encloses the contents of the light. The outer casing includes first and second housings which are operable between open and closed positions. When in a closed position, the working components of the light, including the lens, grill, and light source are enclosed by the two housings. In an open position, the second housing acts as a base which holds the worklight in an upright position.

Abstract: A rigid support bracket mounts a transformer to an electrical light fixture. The bracket is formed with end portions adapted to receive fasteners therethrough for mounting the bracket to the electrical fixture. The rigid support bracket resists undesired shifting or bending of the bracket before and during transformer installation, thus providing easy and quick installation of a transformer to a light fixture.

Abstract: This luminaire employs as its light source a double-ended lamp comprising a tubular light-transmitting envelope having a central longitudinal axis, conductive terminals at opposite ends of the envelope, and a light-generating filament connected between the terminals. The lamp, when installed in the luminaire, is connected between a pair of spaced contacts respectively engaging its conductive terminals. The luminaire is constructed in such a manner that an installer engaged in relamping it is blocked from accidentally touching one terminal of the lamp while the other terminal is engaged with its mating contact, thereby protecting the installer from such electric shock as could result from touching one lamp terminal while the other is engaged with a live contact.

Abstract: This portable lighting fixture comprises a lamp housing containing a lamp and a reflector that projects light from the lamp through an opening in the front face of the housing. A protective grill on the housing registers with the front-face opening in a location spaced from the opening. Normally located beneath the housing is a base that normally supports the housing. The grill has an outer periphery that appears rounded when viewed from a horizontal reference plane located above the housing when the housing is in its normal location atop the base. Tip-over of the fixture onto a horizontal surface that causes the central peripheral portion of the grill to fall against the horizontal surface results in the fixture rolling over in a lateral direction on the rounded grill following initial contact between the central peripheral portion of the grill and the horizontal surface.
