Patent ID: 6964495

Claim:
A reduced emissions work light, comprising: (a) a bulb comprising an elongated bulb tube; (b) an electromagnetic interference emissions containment housing located adjacent to said bulb; (c) an electronic ballast located within said emissions containment housing and operatively connected to said bulb; (d) an electromagnetic interference emissions filter operatively connected to said electronic ballast; (e) a power supply cord adapted for being connected to a power source to supply electrical power to said work light, the power supply cord extending from a first end of the containment housing through the length of the containment housing to a second end of the containment housing; and (f) an emissions-insulating sheath positioned around the power supply cord to reduce electromagnetic emissions by the power supply cord when supplying electrical power to the work light, whereby the cumulative effect of the containment housing, electromagnetic emissions filter and power cord sheath results in a light meeting applicable military requirements for control of EMI emissions for lights having electronic ballasts.
