Abstract

A halogen clamp light (11) comprising a halogen light (13) adjustably attached to one end of a rigid, elongate support (17) is disclosed. The halogen light (13) includes a housing (19), a halogen bulb (37), a reflector (35), a glass lens (29), and a protective grill (31, 33). A spring-loaded clamp is attached to the other end of the elongate support. The elongate support (17) includes a cavity that houses an on-off switch (71). The adjustable attachment includes a threaded shaft (53) that extends through a flange (41) that protrudes rearwardly from the housing (19). A manually adjustable locking nut (63) clamps the flange (41) to the elongate support (17) after the housing is adjusted to the desired position. A plastic bushing (55) is located between the flange (41) and the elongate support (17). Further, a hook (99) extends longitudinally outwardly from the cavity end of the elongate support (17).
