A portable light is provided which is operated and turned on automatically when the light is moved to a vertical or near vertical position and turns off automatically when in a non-vertical position. A highly reliable, sealed a reed switch is operated when an associated magnet moves into proximity. A locking mechanism retains the magnet to prevent operation of the light when not in use. A manually operated, mechanical switch is also provided and uses a metal strip to over ride the magnet/reed switch to allow for selective operation of the light in any position. The light can be used as a flashlight or attached to a cooler lid, car hood, visor attache case and the like to turn on automatically as the attached, hinged device is moved to a vertical or near vertical position.
