Portable illumination apparatus

An illumination apparatus, comprising:

• a support base defining a frame member having a connection region defining a first rotational axis;
• a rotary member, attached to the frame member at the connection region, and defining a second rotational axis that is perpendicular to the first rotational axis;
• and
• a light module having one or more light sources operable to illuminate light, the light module being mountable on the connection region via the rotary member for movement about the first rotational axis and the second rotational axis, the frame member fixed about the second rotational axis;
• a power source in the light module;
• wherein the frame member defines an opening;
• wherein the opening is a through-hole opening;
• and
• wherein the connection region forms a first discontinuity along the frame member, the frame member comprises a first part and a second part, the first part and the second part for being continuously arranged along the frame member in a closed position, the second part movable away from the first part in an open position to form a second discontinuity along the frame member to provide access to the opening in the frame member to facilitate secure attachment of the illumination apparatus to an object.

An illumination apparatus, comprising:

• a support base defining a frame member having a connection region defining a first rotational axis, the frame member having a center opening;
• a rotary member, attached to the frame member at the connection region, and defining a second rotational axis that is perpendicular to the first rotational axis, the frame member fixed about the second rotational axis;
• and
• a light module having one or more light sources operable to illuminate light, the light module being mountable on the connection region via the rotary member for movement about the first rotational axis and the second rotational axis;
• a power source in the light module;
• wherein the frame member includes at least a first part and a second part in planar arrangement with and coterminous with the first part around the center opening in a closed position, wherein the second part is pivotable relative to the first part from the closed position to provide access to the center opening to facilitate secure attachment of the illumination apparatus to an object or surface in an open position.
