Abstract
A fluorescent work light assembly employing a twin tube fluorescent bulb which is interconnected at a second end and has one contact for each tube at a first end to place the bulb in series with a source of AC power. The bulb is mounted in a protective envelope tube with supports adjacent both ends to position and support the bulb. And end cap at the second end permits the light member to be suspended adjacent a work area. An end cap at the first end permits a power source to be connected via a two position switch to the bulb pins. Both end caps are assembled to the protective envelope stop members and have members which also permit the end caps to be assembled. A ballast device is placed in the work light assembly itself.
