[origin: WO0101039A1] The present invention provides a portable lighting device including: a generally elongate rectilinear body having a light source extending along one longitudinal side thereof; a base on one end thereof on which the device is adapted to stand; and a handle on the opposite end thereof, the handle comprising a handle grip portion which is aligned at an acute angle to both a vertical axis through the device, and to a horizontal plane when the device is standing on its base. The present invention also provides a portable lighting device including: a body adapted to contain dry cells for powering the device; at least one generally tubular translucent lens through which light generated by the device will emit; at least one incandescent globe or LED located at at least one of the tubular lens; and electric circuitry which in use connects the dry cells to said at least one globe or LED. The present invention further provides a portable lighting device including a generally elongate rectilinear body having a base, a light housing which extends longitudinally along one side of the body, and a handle located at or near the upper end of the body, the light housing including a translucent protective front cover which has a convex outer form when viewed in side elevation. The present invention also provides a lantern having a light housing which allows a 360 DEG radiation of light, said light housing including a light source and being pivotally connected to a lantern body by a rotational means, said body being of a generally rectangular construction having said rotational means off-set from a longitudinal axis of said body, said lighting housing being able to rotate so as to cross said longitudinal axis of said body.
