Abstract: An omni-directional work light includes an elongated body having a longitudinal axis and a light head assembly connected to a top end of the elongated body. The light head assembly includes a light source with a transparent cover and a light socket where the light socket defines a radial plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. A plurality of legs are pivotally connected to the elongated body and movable between a folded position in which the plurality of legs are folded against the elongated body and an unfolded position in which a respective distal end of the plurality of legs is unfolded away from the elongated body. A protective member is disposed below the light socket where a projection of the transparent cover on the radial plane is within a projection range of the protective member on the radial plane.
