Box light
First Claim
1. A box light comprising a housing having first and second clamshell-halves each having a lamp face and an opposite exterior surface, at least one lamp and its protective enclosure mounted in each of said lamp faces, and said each of said lamp faces having at least one lamp-receiving aperture, said clamshell-halves rotatably mounted to one another by a first hinge for rotation relative to another about said first hinge between a closed position wherein said lamp faces are in closely adjacent opposed facing relation and said exterior surfaces are oppositely disposed, and selectively positionable open positions exposing said lamp faces so that an included angle between said lamp faces is selectively positionable up to where said clamshell-halves are folded back on one another about said first hinge so that said lamp faces are oppositely disposed whereby said at least one lamp on said lamp faces shine outwardly and oppositely of said housing when electrically powered, and wherein in said closed position said at least one lamp and its protective enclosure on each of said first and second clamshell-halves is aligned and mated with said lamp-receiving aperture on said opposed facing lamp faces so as to insert at least said protective enclosure of each of said at least one lamps into mating engagement with corresponding said lamp-receiving apertures in said opposed facing lamp faces.

Abstract
A box light includes a housing having first and second clamshell-halves. Each clamshell-half has a lamp face and an opposite exterior surface. At least one lamp and its corresponding protective enclosure is mounted in each of the lamp faces. Each of the lamp faces has at least one lamp-receiving aperture. The clamshell-halves are rotatably mounted to one another by a first hinge for rotation relative to another about the first hinge between open and closed positions. The open position includes selectively positionable open positions exposing the lamp faces so that an included angle between the lamp faces may be opened to two hundred seventy degrees whereby the lamps on each lamp face shines outwardly and oppositely of the housing when electrically powered. In the closed position the lamp faces are in closely adjacent opposed facing relation and the exterior surfaces are oppositely disposed. Also, when in the closed position, the at least one lamp and its protective enclosure on each of the first and second clamshell-halves is aligned and mated with the lamp-receiving aperture on the opposed facing lamp faces so as to insert at least the protective enclosure of each of the at least one lamps into mating engagement with the corresponding lamp-receiving apertures in the opposed facing lamp faces.
