A portable work light including an elongate fluorescent bulb for emitting light when powered from an electrical current source, an elongate, transparent, relatively thick protective shield, a shock absorber within the shield mounting the bulb within the shield in spaced-apart relation thereto against breakage of the bulb from shock or impact. In addition, an elongate, transparent, relatively thin disposable scuff guard is positioned over the shield to protect the shield from scratching and scuffing and which can be replaced when scratched and scuffed to restore full light transmission to the work light.
