Camera light and accessories therefor

A camera light arrangement includes a light having a rectangular housing and a cylindrical crown connected to the housing. An opening connects the interior of the housing to the interior of the crown. A light bulb support is held in the housing for supporting a light bulb through the opening. The crown comprises a plurality of coaxial rings which define at least one annular slot therebetween. An octogonal accessory frame is removably engaged to the slot and carries accessories, such as opposite pairs of barn door assemblies each comprising a pair of polygonal barn doors. Two of the barn doors are in the form of elongated rectangles which are each pivotably mounted at a single point and the remaining two of the barn doors are substantially triangular in shape and are pivotably mounted at separate locations to the frame. This permits the formation of rectangular openings and slot-shaped openings for light emanating from the crown. A universal mount is connected to the bottom of the housing and can receive a plurality of mounting elements. One of these elements comprises a mounting handle which is made of two parts which are pivotably mounted to each other at one end of two parts. The opposite ends of the two parts contain recesses which are alignable with each other for receiving supports such as video camera handles or the top of a photographic stand.
