When the lock lever 174 moves to the unlock position Pb, the pin portion 174D is disengaged from the recess 173A. This releases the lock by the lock lever 174. When the lock is released, the arm portion 173 rotates in the direction shown by the arrow Ra. This separates the base portion 171 and the arm portion 173 as shown in FIG. 7. The user can insert the fixing portion 19 into the inside of the base portion 171 or remove the fixing portion 19 from the inside of the base portion 171. Furthermore, when the user releases the lock lever 174, the elastic force of the spring 175 causes the lock lever 174 to return to the lock position Pa, as shown in FIG.

[0083] When the second clamp portion 17B holds the fixing portion 19, the user operates the arm portion 173 so that the arm portion 173 rotates in the direction indicated by the arrow Rb shown in FIG. 6 after placing the fixing portion 19 inside the base portion 171. By rotating the arm portion 173 in the direction indicated by the arrow Rb, the pin portion 174D is placed in the recessed portion 173A. The spring 175 imparts an elastic force to the lock lever 174 so that the lock lever 174 moves toward the lock position Pa. Therefore, after the pin portion 174D is hooked in the recessed portion 173A, the lock lever 174 moves in the direction indicated by the arrow Yb due to the elastic force of the spring 175. As a result, the pin portion 174D is hooked in the recessed portion 173A, and the arm portion 173 is locked by the lock lever 174.

[0084] [Rotating part] FIG. 8 is a perspective view for explaining the operation of the rotating unit 14 according to the embodiment. In FIG. 8, the first state is a state in which the light exit surface 7B and the light exit surface 9B face downward. The rotating unit 14 can change the state to, for example, a second state in which the light exit surface 7B and the light exit surface 9B face backward while maintaining the attitude (direction, etc.) of the holder 3 and the attitude (direction, etc.) of the battery pack 12. In the absence of the rotating unit 14, for example, when the light 2 is rotated so that the light exit surface 7B and the light exit surface 9B face backward, the battery pack 12 also rotates. The weight of the battery pack 12 is heavy. Therefore, even if the light 2 is rotated so that the light exit surface 7B and the light exit surface 9B face backward, the gravity (the action of gravity) of the battery pack 12 may rotate the entire light 2 so that the light exit surface 7B and the light exit surface 9B face, for example, downward. In the embodiment, while the attitude of the battery pack 12 is maintained by the rotating part 14, the user can rotate a part of the light 2 so as to change, for example, from a first state in which the light emitting surfaces 7B and 9B face downward to a second state in which the light emitting surfaces 7B and 9B face backward. The light emitting surfaces 7B and 9B can face in any direction without being affected by the weight of the battery pack 12.

[0085] FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing the rotating unit 14 according to the embodiment. The rotating unit 14 connects the lighting unit 7 and the lighting unit 9 to the handle unit 11 provided with the battery mounting unit 13 so as to be relatively rotatable about a rotation axis CX parallel to the left-right axis. The rotating unit 14 has a fixing ring 141 that rotatably supports the fixed unit 19, a rotating plate 142 that rotates together with the fixed unit 19, a lock pin 144 that is inserted into a hole 143 provided in the rotating plate 142, and a spring 145 that applies elastic force to the lock pin 144 so that the lock pin 144 is inserted into the hole 143. The lock pin 144 and the spring 145 are disposed in the internal space of the handle unit 11. The lock pin 144 and the spring 145 are supported by the handle unit 11 via a support member 146. A plurality of holes 143 are provided around the rotation axis CX. The holes 143 are provided, for example, at 45 degree intervals around the rotation axis CX. The user can rotate the rotating plate 142 via the fixed portion 19 against the restricting force of the lock pin 144 and the elastic force of the spring 145. When the lock pin 144 and the hole 143 are aligned while the rotating plate 142 is being rotated, the lock pin 144 is inserted into the hole 143. The lock pin 144 is inserted into the hole 143, thereby preventing the rotation of the rotating plate 142. In other words, the lock pin 144 is inserted into the hole 143, thereby positioning the rotating plate 142 in the rotation direction. The user can rotate the rotating plate 142 so that the handle portion 11, on which the battery mounting portion 13 is provided, is at any angle relative to the lighting portion 7 and the lighting portion 9.

[0086] [Extendable part] FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view showing the holder 3 according to the embodiment. The holder 3 has an expandable portion 20 that connects the first mounting portion 16A and the second mounting portion 16B so as to be relatively movable. The expandable portion 20 changes the relative distance between the first mounting portion 16A and the second mounting portion 16B. The expandable portion 20 is disposed inside the holder body 15 and includes a spring 21 that connects the first mounting portion 16A and the second mounting portion 16B. One end (right end) of the spring 21 is connected to the first mounting portion 16A via a connecting member 22A. The other end (right end) of the spring 21 is connected to the second mounting portion 16B via a connecting member 22B. The spring 21 generates an elastic force so that the first mounting portion 16A and the second mounting portion 16B approach each other. When attaching the holder 3 to a wide target S, the user separates the first attachment portion 16A and the second attachment portion 16B against the elastic force of the spring 21, and then hooks the first attachment portion 16A onto the right end of the target S and the second attachment portion 16B onto the left end of the target S. As a result, the target S is sandwiched between the first attachment portion 16A and the second attachment portion 16B, and the holder 3 is attached to the target S.

[0087] [Bend section] Fig. 11 is a perspective view for explaining the operation of the folding section 6 according to the embodiment. As shown in Fig. 11, the folding section 6 rotates the first light section 4 and the second light section 5 relative to each other. The folding section 6 rotates so that the light exit surface 7B of the first light section 4 and the light exit surface 9B of the second light section 5 do not face each other.

[0088] FIG. 12 is a perspective view showing the bending portion 6 according to the embodiment. The bending portion 6 has a first fixing portion 61 fixed to the second light portion 5 and a second fixing portion 62 fixed to the first light portion 4. The first fixing portion 61 includes a cap portion 61A attached to the second light portion 5 and fixed to the second light portion 5 by a screw 63, and a rotating portion 61B. The second fixing portion 62 includes a cap portion 62A attached to the first light portion 4 and fixed to the first light portion 4 by a screw 64, and a rotating portion 62B. Each of the rotating portion 61B and the rotating portion 62B is supported by a hinge portion 60. The hinge portion 60 has a lock pin 65 that locks the rotating portion 62B via the rotating portion 61B, and a spring 66 that imparts elastic force to the lock pin 65 so that the lock pin 65 is pressed against the rotating portion 62B.

[0089] The user can, for example, rotate the first light part 4 relative to the second light part 5 against the restricting force of the lock pin 65 and the elastic force of the spring 66. When the first light part 4 is rotated, the lock pin 65 is inserted into the positioning hole (not shown) provided in the rotating part 62B when the lock pin 65 matches with the positioning hole. The first light part 4 is positioned in the rotation direction by inserting the lock pin 65 into the positioning hole. The user can rotate the first light part 4 and the second light part 5 relatively so that the first light part 4 and the second light part 5 change between a state in which the first light part 4 and the second light part 5 extend straight and a state in which the first light part 4 and the second light part 5 are bent.

[0090] [Relationship between the pivot axis of the bending part, the pivot axis of the rotating part, and the attachment / detachment axis of the battery pack] FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining the relationship between the rotation axis AX of the folding part 6, the rotation axis CX of the rotating part 14, and the attachment / detachment axis DX of the battery pack 12 according to the embodiment. The battery pack 12 is attached to and detached from the battery mounting part 13 by being moved in a direction parallel to a predetermined attachment / detachment axis DX relative to the battery mounting part 13. In the example shown in FIG. 13, the attachment / detachment axis DX is parallel to the front-rear direction. The rotation axis AX of the folding part 6 is parallel to the left-right direction. The rotation axis CX of the rotating part 14 is parallel to the up-down direction. The rotation axis AX of the folding part 6 and the attachment / detachment axis DX of the battery pack 12 are perpendicular to each other. The rotation axis CX of the rotating part 14 and the attachment / detachment axis DX of the battery pack 12 are perpendicular to each other. Thus, in the embodiment, the rotation axis AX, the rotation axis CX, and the attachment / detachment axis DX are perpendicular to each other.

[0091] As shown in FIG. 13, the user can use the light 2 in a first position in which the first light section 4 and the second light section 5 extend straight in the vertical direction and the battery pack 12 is installed on an installation surface parallel to a horizontal plane.

[0116] [switch] Fig. 26 is a diagram showing the handle portion 11 of the light 2 according to the embodiment. As shown in Fig. 26, the handle portion 11 is provided with a main power switch 100, an illumination mode changeover switch 101, and a color temperature changeover switch 102.

[0117] The main power switch 100 is operated to switch between on and off of the light 2. The main power switch 100 is also operated to switch the brightness of the light 2. When the main power switch 100 is operated once while the light 2 is off, the light 2 is turned on in the high brightness mode. When the main power switch 100 is operated once while the light 2 is on in the high brightness mode, the light 2 is turned on in the medium brightness mode. When the main power switch 100 is operated once while the light 2 is on in the medium brightness mode, the light 2 is turned on in the low brightness mode. When the main power switch 100 is operated once while the light 2 is on in the low brightness mode, the light 2 is turned off.

[0118] The irradiation mode changeover switch 101 is operated to change the irradiation mode of the light 2. The irradiation modes of the light 2 include a full-light mode in which both the first light section 4 and the second light section 5 are turned on, a first half-light mode in which the first light section 4 is turned on and the second light section 5 is turned off, and a second half-light mode in which the second light section 5 is turned on and the first light section 4 is turned off. When the main power switch 100 is operated once in the turned-off state, the light 2 is turned on in the irradiation mode in which the light was turned off the previous time. For example, when the main power switch 100 is operated in the full-light mode to turn off the light 2, and then the main power switch 100 is operated to turn on the light 2, the light 2 is turned on in the full-light mode. When the irradiation mode changeover switch 101 is operated once in the full-light mode, the light 2 is turned on in the second half-light mode. When the irradiation mode changeover switch 101 is operated once in the second half-light mode, the light 2 is turned on in the first half-light mode. When the irradiation mode changeover switch 101 is operated once in the first half-light mode, the light 2 is turned on in the full-light mode.

[0119] The color temperature changeover switch 102 is operated to change the color temperature of the light emitted from the light 2. The color temperatures of the light emitted from the light 2 include natural white, warm white, and neutral white. When the main power switch 100 is operated once in an off state, the light 2 emits light with the color temperature at the time of the previous turn-off. For example, when the main power switch 100 is operated to turn off the light 2 while natural white light is being emitted from the light 2, and then the main power switch 100 is operated to turn on the light 2, the color temperature of the light emitted from the light 2 is natural white. When the irradiation mode changeover switch 101 is operated once in a state where natural white light is being emitted from the light 2, warm light is emitted from the light 2. When the irradiation mode changeover switch 101 is operated once in a state where warm light is being emitted from the light 2, neutral light is emitted from the light 2. When the irradiation mode changeover switch 101 is operated once while the light 2 is emitting neutral color light, the light 2 emits neutral white light.

The lock lever 174 is movably supported at the other end of the base portion 171. The lock lever 174 locks the arm portion 173. The spring 175 imparts an elastic force to the lock lever 174. The lock lever 174 is movable between a lock position Pa at which the arm portion 173 is locked and a release position Pb at which the arm portion 173 is released from the lock. The spring 175 imparts an elastic force to the lock lever 174 so that the lock lever 174 moves toward the lock position Pa.

[0127] In the above configuration, the lock lever 174 is operated to move from the lock position Pa to the release position Pb against the elastic force of the spring 175, whereby the lock of the arm portion 173 is released and the opening of the base portion 171 is opened. A user can insert the fixing parts 18, 19 into the inside of the base portion 171 through the opening of the base portion 171, or remove the fixing parts 18, 19 from the inside of the base portion 171. When the fixing parts 18, 19 are held by the clamp portion 17, the fixing parts 18, 19 are inserted into the inside of the base portion 171, and then the arm portion 173 is operated to be pushed into the base portion 171. By operating the arm portion 173 to be pushed into the base portion 171, the lock lever 174 is pushed together with the arm portion 173 toward the release position Pb.
