ABSTRACT:
A clamp-on magnet for trouble lamps of a type which have a shield on one side of an electric bulb. A magnet is connected to a housing and the housing has a pair of spaced apart parallel flanges extending therefrom. Each of the flanges has a hole extending therethrough. A pair of wire clamps having helical central portions and a pair of arms extending from each end of the helical central portion are pivotally attached by fasteners to the holes in the parallel flanges. These spring clamps have hooks on the end thereof so that the arms of the spring clamp can be pulled apart to extend over the shield of the trouble lamp and are biased back into tight engagement with the shield to hold the magnet to the trouble lamp. When the magnet is in use by placing it against a metal surface, such as that of an automobile, the trouble lamp can be pivoted through approximately 250.degree. and held in any position in between so that the light from the trouble lamp can be directed to where it is needed.
