Abstract: A trouble lamp has a generally transparent, cylindrical tube, a top end cap and an opposite bottom end cap disposed over the tube ends. A hanger has a stem inserted into the top end cap and a hook generally extending from the tube and the top end cap. An electrical cord extends from the bottom end cap to a plug configured to insert into a vehicle accessory socket. Magnets disposed at least partially within the tube top are configured to attach the trouble lamp to a ferrous metal surface. The hanger is configured to attach the trouble lamp to engine framework or wiring. An LED array disposed along the length of the tube is in communications with the cord so as to illuminate LEDs when the plug is inserted into the accessory socket.
