Abstract
An illumination device with an integrated adjustable articulating clamp that pivots about a hinge on the opposite end of the device. The clamp is used for the purpose of affixing the illumination device to stationary objects to allow a user to perform actions using both hands without having the hold onto the illuminating device. The clamp folds into a slot in the housing of the illumination device when not in use and allows the user to wield the illuminating device like a regular flashlight. Battery compartments are located on both sides of the slot inside the housing of the illuminating device.
