Abstract
A portable, twin-mounted light assembly (10) having a stand assembly (12) supported by a stable platform (14) and having on its top edge (120), a mounting bracket (16). The bracket (16) is disclosed in three designs: an inverted L-bracket (18), a double U-channel bracket (20) and a channeled L-bracket (24). In all designs, the bracket supports a primary-power junction box (26) and a detachable light-fixture attachment T-section (28). To each end of the T-section (28) is removably attached a light fixture assembly (34). The assembly includes a pair of legs (42,44) that when compressed fit into the end of the T-section (28). Conversely, when they are removed from the T-section (28), the two legs extend outwardly to allow the light fixture assembly (34) to be placed on a flat surface remote form the assembly (10). In a preferred embodiment, the two legs (42,44) have inserted a leaf spring (46) that automatically places the two legs in their extended position when the legs are removed from the light-fixture attachment T-section (28).
