Abstract
Abstract A portable warning light for motor vehicles is adapted to be connected to the vehicle electrical supply. The light is comprised of two parts. One part comprises a hand hold, an electric lamp, an electric cable and wind-up reel. The other part comprises a housing, which when the light is not in use, completely encloses the lamp and the cable reel. When the lamp is in use, the other part receives the handle to hold the lamp in an elevated position.
