A portable box 2 includes a base or bottom bin 10 having a storage area 24 and a hinged lid 40 in which a light source 70, such as a tubular flourescent lamp is located. The lid 40 rotates in one direction to open the box 2, and stacked trays 72, 74, 76, normally stored in the storage area 24, rotate in an opposite direction so that the light source 70 directly illuminates both the storage area and the deployed trays. Hinges 26 and 58 permit the lid 40 to rotate through an angle of slightly more than ninety degrees so that in the open position the lid 40 is positioned so that the fluorescent lamp uniformly and directly illuminates not only all of the contents of the box, but also the immediate surrounding area.
