A lighting assembly 10 can be either secured to or separated from a self-rightable base 16 and comprises an illuminator 12, a connector 14 to removably connect it to the self-righting base 16, and an illuminator actuator (fig 6, 62) within the connector. The assembly may further comprise: a handle 28 with ribs 34; projections (fig 2, 32) that connect to the base by a bayonet fitting; feet 36, 38 on the connector and end cap 24 to rest the assembly on the ground; and carrying eyes 40 and 42 for suspension by tying. The light may also comprise a tubular housing 18; a curved mirror (fig 6, 56) and a fluorescent tube (fig 6, 58). Actuator (fig 6, 62) transmits power to the light from a cable and an outlet socket (fig 6, 66) can provide power to further lights. Base 16 can be a solid plastics formation comprising: cavity 72 for the connector 14; recesses 78 with carrying handles; and a hemi-spherical bottom surface 72. The light may be used to provide illumination of a work area in the construction industry, where such lamps are prone to being knocked over and broken. |
