Abstract
A portable work light has a transparent tube through which light is emitted from a source within the tube. A pair of fasteners each have a strap that extends around the tube with a coupling attached to the strap. A cord passes through both couplings and has fixed loop at one end through which passes a section of the cord at the other end. The fixed loop is received within a tubular fastener which is able to slide along the fixed loop. The tubular fastener has a first position along the fixed loop in which the section of the cord is captivated from moving through the fixed loop, and a second position in which the section of cord is able to move through the fixed loop. This structure allows the cord to be held cinched around an object for supporting the transparent tube from which light is emitted.
