Abstract
A high intensity lamp has a housing formed by first and second housing halves fitted together, a rear cover and a front cover. The first and second housing halves have a handle integrally formed therewith so that the lamp is portable. The housing encases a socket, the high intensity lamp source, a lamp shield and a filter, as well as part of a power cord. The front cover is releasably attached to the first and second housing halves. The filter is releasably attached to the housing halves by means of a retainer, disposed in the housing halves, having inwardly inclined tongs with respect to the housing, which hold therebetween a projection from the filter. The rear cover and each housing half has several elongated ventilation slots. The front cover has feet on which the lamp can rest. The feet are reinforced by ribs which serve, together with tabs, to hold a splash shield in place in the cover.
