Magnetic base utility lamp

A utility lamp having as integral features thereof a flat, broad base comprised of a plurality of geometrically arranged elastomeric magnet members containing a dispersion therein of permanently magnetized ferrous particles and cementitiously secured to a base plate, such that the total weight of the base member is optimum for supporting the lamp in any configuration of adjustment when placed flatly upon some nonferrous surface, yet sufficiently light to enable portability for ease and convenience of movement and magnetic adherence in any position of placement upon a ferromagnetic surface. The lamp includes as additional features a multiplicity of frictionally set pivotal and swivel members which enables a user to conveniently position and point the beam of illumination from the lamp in any direction regardless of the position of mounting or placement of the base upon a supporting or magnetically adhering surface, low-abrasive characteristics of the contact surface of the base so as to preclude scratching or marring of a supporting surface when the lamp is attached thereto, and a power conduit of sufficient length to enable a broad latitude in ease of movement and placement of the lamp.
