A portable fluorescent light, utilizing a fluorescent tube mounted in an elongated, transparent, plastic housing. Sockets for the fluorescent lamp are mounted to the interior of the housing and electrical circuitry within the housing supplies current to operate the lamp. The circuitry includes a ballast and a starter that are also mounted within the tubular housing at one end. A threaded lamp connector of the type normally found on incandescent light bulbs extends outwardly from one end of the housing and is associated with the electrical circuitry to provide an electrical connector for connecting the light to a conventional alternating current power source. The threaded connector is adapted to be threaded into a standard threaded female socket, such as might be found at the end of an incandescent-trouble-light cord unit.
