Abstract
A worklight assembly that may as a stand-alone unit mountable on a tripod. One embodiment includes a linearly extending support member for the heads and a number of support feet extending outward from the support member for supporting the worklight assembly as a stand-alone unit. A mounting mechanism is captured on the worklight assembly so as to be retained with the assembly when used as a stand-alone unit and is nevertheless ready for attachment to the elevating support structure. The mechanism is disposed to avoid interference with the work surface when the assembly is positioned directly on the work surface. The mounting mechanism enables one-step mounting and demounting of the assembly from a tripod. An electrical power junction is disposed on the worklight assembly for distributing electrical power to the worklight heads in multi-head embodiments.
