ABSTRACT:
A fluorescent lantern is disclosed which incorporates a radio receiver in its base member. A separate remote control transmitter has a command switch and, in a response to input therefrom, radiates a radio frequency command signal to the receiver. In response to the command signal from the transmitter, the receiver feeds a control signal to a control unit in the base member which operates the fluorescent light tubes, as directed by the command input. The fluorescent lantern, remote control transmitter and receiver are battery powered. The lantern has a pair of reflectors mounted on a lower surface of the base and a lower surface of a top member. The reflectors have convex reflective surfaces to generally reflect light from the fluorescent tubes outwardly from the lantern. A central support rod and fastener secure the lantern base, top member and globe together while allowing manual detachment of the top member to allow access to the fluorescent tubes for removal and installation thereof. A forked bracket rigidly connected to the bracket both retains the fluorescent tubes in their desired operational position and guides the fluorescent tubes into the base to facilitate installation of the fluorescent tubes.
