A light stand assembly, comprising: a base having a power supply circuit; an adjustable post detachably connected to the base, the post being configured for variable movement between a lowered position and a raised position, and for securement at a selected position; an adjustable post connector moveably connected to the adjustable post; and a light module detachably connected to the adjustable post connector and operatively connected to the power supply circuit; characterised in that the light module comprises: a housing defining a chamber: a heat sink mounted within the chamber, wherein the heat sink comprises cooling fins and wherein the housing defines at least one opening for exposing the cooling fins to the surrounding atmosphere for cooling purposes; a light mounted to the heat sink for heat transfer from the light to the heat sink; a light cover mounted to the housing to allow illumination from the light to pass therethrough; a light interface mounted to the housing and operatively connected to the light, the light interface configured for detachable mating with the post; and a converter mounted to the heat sink, and operatively connected to the light interface; wherein the housing separates into a first section and a second section, each section (128, 130) defining an opening to expose the heat sink to surrounding atmosphere for cooling purposes; wherein the first section and second section define notches that mate when assembled to form a generally rectangular opening to receive the light cover; wherein the heat sink is generally a triangular prism shape having the cooling fins extending the length of two sides and a pair of generally planar mounting surfaces (144, 146) extending the length of heat sink for mounting the light and converter; wherein the converter is operatively connected to the light. a base having a power supply circuit; an adjustable post detachably connected to the base, the post being configured for variable movement between a lowered position and a raised position, and for securement at a selected position;
