A hand portable light with extendable lamp housing which can be used as a hand-held device or can be used as a freestanding device when placed on a generally horizontal surface. The lamp housing is mounted to the base of the portable light by two telescoping collapsible support arms. The telescoping arms allow the lamp housing to be elevated above the base housing so that the light emitted from the lamp housing may be broadcast in the surrounding area. The lamp housing is mounted to the telescoping support arms with pivots which allow the lamp housing to be pivoted with respect to the collapsible support arms. This pivoting motion allows the extendable lamp housing to be rotated so that its emitted light may be positioned in a direction that can best accommodate the user\s needs. Three battery powered embodiments of the hand portable light are disclosed, including one utilizing a fluorescent lamp.
