Abstract: A portable hanging light includes a portable housing that has a plurality of integral walls defining a plurality of partitions formed therein and an adjustably positionable lens. The light further includes a plurality of light-emitting sources housed within one partition and a plurality of control switches spaced along the housing. A plurality of hook members are secured to selected portions of the housing to assist in maintaining the light at a substantially stable position. One of the hook members is disposed along the axis and another of the hook members is resiliently connected to one of the housing walls along a rear portion thereof. At least one power cord adapter is electrically coupled to the switches for allowing a user to electrically connect the light to alternate ones of the external power sources.
