Abstract
A portable work light includes a main body having a light body and a power pack, and a hook implement that is detachably connected to the main body. The light body includes a head portion that retains a lighting element. The head portion is pivotally adjustable about an axis on a reference plane that is generally parallel to a bottom surface of the main body, and is pivotally adjustable to an angular position that is below the reference plane. A mount integrally formed with the main body is engageable with the hook implement to suspend the main body from the support. The mount has a slot that receives a boss portion of the hook implement and secures the boss portion in a detachably engaged position within the mount. The mount also has a maintaining means for maintaining connection of the hook implement to the mount when the work light is not being suspended. A second mount integrally formed with the main body may also be provided with the work light.
