Abstract
A portable work light has a handle to which a head is pivotally attached. The head houses a light source and a reflector that projects a beam of light. The head has an air inlet and outlet with a fan that forces air from the inlet to outlet thereby cooling components inside the head. The work light may be powered by either a battery which is releaseably connected to the handle or from an external source via an electrical cord that connects to a socket in the handle. An optical fiber assembly may be releaseably attached to the head over the opening to direct light from source through a fiber optic cable to illuminate small recessed working areas.
