A light bar may include a body, a battery housed inside the body, a lighting element housed inside the body, a switch operably coupled to the lighting element and the battery to enable control of lighting intensity of the lighting element based on a position of the switch, a first fixing assembly formed at opposing longitudinal ends of the body, and a second fixing assembly. The first fixing assembly may be configured to enable the light bar to be removable and rotatable relative to a case. The second fixing assembly may be disposed at a portion of the body that is between the opposing longitudinal ends, the second fixing assembly being configured to enable the light bar to be affixed to an object when the light bar is removed from the case.

A brush assembly preferably for a universal motor comprises a tubular brush holder,, a carbon brush,, an arm,for biasing the brush and a spring,for biasing the arm. The brush is slidably mounted in the cavity,of the holder. A stop,is formed between the brush and the holder and has a disengaged position to permit travel of the brush partially through the inner end,of the holder and an engaged position to limit travel of the brush through the inner end,of the holder. The electrically conductive arm,is pivotally mounted on the support and extends through a slot,of the holder. A distal end,of the brush engages the outer end,of the brush and biases the brush,toward the inner end,of the cavity. The spring,is connected between the support,and the arm,for biasing the arm,into engagement with the brush,. The arm is spaced outwardly of the end of the slot to apply a bias to the brush when the stop is in an engaged position. As a result the brush, when worn out is firmly held between the arm and the stop to reduce degradation of the arm,and commutator
