Abstract

A lighting device is disclosed. The lighting device can include a base, a light source housing, and a connection member connected between the base and the light source housing. The lighting device also can include a rotatable mounting plate. The light source housing can be elongated and can include one or more battery-powered lighting elements, such as light-emitting diodes. The lighting device can be convertible between a compact configuration and an expanded configuration. The light source housing and the connection member together can be rotatable relative to the base around a first axis. The light source housing also can be rotatable relative to the connection member around a second axis substantially parallel to the first axis and a third axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis. Batteries to power the lighting elements can be positioned within a battery compartment of a removable battery pack within the base.
