A portable light comprising:

• a light body having a cavity for receiving a source of electrical power therein;
• a light source supported by said light body and oriented for emitting light in a direction away from said light body;
• a switch actuator on said light body for controlling said light source for selectively producing light, and
• a deployable hanger affixed to said light body for hanging said light body from an object, said deployable hanger comprising:
• a bracket affixed to said light body and defining a relatively straight passage between said bracket and said light body, said bracket including a spring finger proximate the passage;
• and
• a hanger ring having a relatively straight portion having at least first and second flat surfaces thereon disposed in the passage and engaging the spring finger of said bracket,
• wherein the spring finger of said bracket bears against the first flat surface of said hanger ring for biasing said hanger ring to a first position and bears against the second flat surface of said hanger ring for biasing said hanger ring to a second position.
