Abstract
An auxiliary lighting fixture comprises a base adapted to be hung on a wall via a statistical loop fastener and receiving batteries, and a housing releasably secured on the base and having a light bulb, reflector and lens mounted thereon. The light bulb is mounted by a clip with a hook engaging the bulb's flanged base. A circuit, including a timer and control switches, is mounted to the housing and electrically connected to the batteries by contact between metal strips in both the base and housing. Upon selection of the timed mode, the bulb operates for a timer interval of 30-45 seconds, thereby preventing accidental battery depletion. ON and OFF switches are provided for untimed operation, and the OFF switch overrides the timer.
