Abstract
A light assembly configured to be removably coupled to a ferromagnetic support surface includes a base with a magnetic coupling member, a battery coupled to the base, an arm pivotally coupled to the base, and a light head pivotally coupled to the arm such that a position of the light head relative to the base is adjustable. The light head includes a light-emitting element powered by the battery. The magnetic coupling member is configured to support the light assembly by magnetic attraction to the support surface.
Claims20
A light assembly configured to be removably coupled to a ferromagnetic support surface, the light assembly comprising:
- a base including a magnetic coupling member;
- a battery coupled to the base;
- an arm pivotally coupled to the base;
- and
- a light head pivotally coupled to the arm such that a position of the light head relative to the base is adjustable, the light head including a light-emitting element powered by the battery,
- wherein the magnetic coupling member is configured to support the light assembly by magnetic attraction to the support surface;
- wherein the base includes an attachment portion having a flat surface engageable with the support surface when the light assembly is coupled to the support surface;
- and
- wherein the base includes a handle portion extending from the attachment portion, the handle portion defining a longitudinal axis oriented at an oblique angle relative to the flat surface.
A light assembly configured to be removably coupled to a support surface, the light assembly comprising:
- a base including a coupling member configured to removably couple the base to the support surface;
- a battery coupled to the base;
- an arm extending from the base;
- and
- a light head coupled to the arm, wherein the arm is movable such that a position of the light head relative to the base is adjustable, the light head including a light-emitting element powered by the battery,
- wherein the base includes a handle portion configured to be grasped to disengage the coupling member from the support surface;
- wherein the base includes an attachment portion having a flat surface engageable with the support surface when the light assembly is coupled to the support surface;
- wherein the handle portion extends along a longitudinal axis oriented at an oblique angle relative to the flat surface;
- and
- wherein the oblique angle is between 95 degrees and 135 degrees.
A light assembly configured to be removably coupled to a ferromagnetic support surface, the light assembly comprising:
- a base including a magnetic coupling member;
- an arm extending from the base, the arm including a tray and a permanent magnet within the arm adjacent the tray;
- and
- a light head coupled to an end of the arm opposite the base, wherein the arm is movable relative to the base such that a position of the light head relative to the base is adjustable, the light head including a light-emitting element and a control interface for controlling operation of the light-emitting element,
- wherein the magnetic coupling member is configured to support the light assembly by magnetic attraction to the support surface;
- wherein the base includes an attachment portion having a flat surface engageable with the support surface when the light assembly is coupled to the support surface;
- and
- wherein the base includes a handle portion extending from the attachment portion, the handle portion defining a longitudinal axis oriented at an oblique angle relative to the flat surface.
