Abstract
A work light including a base, a light fixture, a magnet, and a boot. The light fixture is supported by the base. The magnet is coupled to the base. The magnet is configured to create a magnetic connection between the base and the work surface to selectively secure the base to the work surface. The boot is coupled to the base and is configured to reduce a strength of the magnetic connection between the base and the work surface.
Claims15
A work light comprising:
- a base including a bottom surface;
- a light fixture supported by the base;
- a magnet adjacent the bottom surface, the magnet configured to create a magnetic connection between the bottom surface of the base and a work surface to selectively secure the base to the work surface;
- and
- a boot coupled to the base and extending over the bottom surface, the boot configured to reduce a strength of the magnetic connection between the base and the work surface
- wherein the base includes an aperture, and wherein the boot includes a protrusion that is configured to be inserted into the aperture to couple the boot to the base.
A work light comprising:
- a base;
- a light fixture supported by the base;
- a magnet coupled to the base and exposed on a surface of the base, the magnet configured to create a magnetic connection between the base and a work surface to secure the base to the work surface;
- and
- a boot releasably attached to the base and covering the magnet;
- wherein the surface of the base includes an aperture, and wherein the boot includes a protrusion that is configured to be inserted into the aperture to couple the boot to the base.
A boot for use with a work light, the work light including a base, a light fixture supported by the base, and a magnet coupled to the base, the magnet configured to create a magnetic connection between the base and a work surface to selectively secure the base to the work surface, the boot comprising:
- a first end configured to align with a first end of the base;
- a second end configured to align with a second end of the base;
- and
- a wall extending between the first end and the second end, the wall configured to reduce a strength of the magnetic connection between the base and the work surface;
- wherein the first end of the boot includes a toe portion that is configured to wrap around the first end of the base.
