Abstract
The present invention consists of a device that provides for easy adjustment of the direction of illumination produced by a utility light through a multiplicity of orientations from one attachment position. The device herein uses a metal track attached to the utility light, which track passes through a clamp and wherein the clamp can be releasably attached to various points along the track. Thus, by movement of the clamp along the track, the direction of illumination produced by the utility light can be adjusted. In addition, the device herein includes a magnet connected to the clamp for mounting of the utility light on suitable ferrous-metal support objects. Engagement and disengagement of the clamp from the track is accomplished by rotating the magnet.
