A portable general illumination lamp unit (10) having very low power consumption (under 100 mA) and producing a high intensity light. A dual conductor wire (22) connects the lamp housing (12) to a power source of choice. The lamp housing (12) has a housing body (14), a flush-fitting lid (16), a downward facing lens (18), and a light-diffusing exterior surface (24). A low power, high intensity light bulb (20) is attached to conductors (37, 38) on the wire (22) using insulated wire straps (40). A strain relief member (32) is molded onto the dual conductor wire (22), fixed to the lid (16) of the lamp housing (12), sealed in place with a waterproof epoxy, and oriented so that the bulb (20) will be positioned in the center of the housing body (14). The wire (22) can be used for attaching the lamp unit (10) to permanent wiring, to a switch (56) and battery pack (44), or to a plug (42) appropriate for the power source. |
