Abstract
A light source, which is releasably attachable to a 12-volt battery, is mounted in floating housing. A plurality of pivot arms are attached to the housing, each of which arms includes a buoyant block or float attached to the free end thereof. When the arms are extended there is formed a stable floating platform which supports the light on the surface of a body of water. When the arms are retracted there results a compact configuration for storage and transportation.
