1. A portable light comprising:
- a generally rectangular light body having first and second opposing broad generally rectangular surfaces, having first and second generally rectangular sides and having first and second generally rectangular ends;
a source of electrical power disposed in said generally rectangular light body;
a flexible bendable stalk extending generally perpendicularly from the first generally rectangular side of said generally rectangular light body and supported thereby;
a light head supported at an end of said flexible bendable stalk distal said generally rectangular light body, said light head including a light source for producing light, wherein said light head is movable relative to said generally rectangular light body for directing light in different directions;
a switch actuator on the first generally rectangular end of said generally rectangular light body for selectively actuating an electrical switch to selectively energize said light source; and
an electronic circuit disposed in said light body, said electronic circuit being electrically connected to said source of electrical power and to said light source for controlling operation of said light source responsive to said electrical switch.

Abstract
A portable light may comprise: a light body; a source of electrical power in the light body; a light head on a flexible bendable stalk supported by the light body, the light head including a light source; a switch for selectively actuating the light source; and an electronic circuit in the light body for controlling operation of the light source responsive to the electrical switch. Optionally, a USB connector may be provided on the light body for connecting to an external source of electrical power, wherein the electronic circuit is further for coupling electrical power received at the USB connector to the source of electrical power.
