[0060] In FIG. 7, the portable working light apparatus 71 may change a fixing method. In this example, the middle bar of the bracket station has a sharpen end 72 to be inserted into a ground just like a camping pin.

[0061] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a portable working light apparatus has a station bracket, a first light module and a second light module.

[0062] The station bracket includes a handle bar, a middle bar and a bottom base. The handle bar and the bottom base are connected to the middle bar. The bottom base is used to be placed on a horizontal surface.

[0063] The first light module is disposed at a left side of the middle bar. The first light module is connected to the middle bar via a first joint connector. The first light module is rotatable with respect to the middle bar along the first joint.

[0064] Similarly, the second light module is disposed at a right side of the middle bar. The second light module is connected to the middle bar via a second joint connector. The second light module is rotatable with respect to the middle bar along the second joint connector.

[0065] In addition, the first light module and the second light module are detachable from the station bracket.

[0066] Please refer to FIG. 8A. FIG. 8A illustrates a first case of joint rotator implementation. In a first case in some embodiments, the first joint connector includes a first tilt rotator 811 and a first folding rotator 812. The first light module 801 and the second light module 803 are connected to the first tilt rotator 811 and the second tilt rotator 814, the first tilt rotator 811 and the second tilt rotator 814 are connected to the first folding rotator 812 and the second folding rotator 813, and the first folding rotator 812 and the second folding rotator 814 are connected to the middle bar 802.

[0067] The first light module is rotated along the tilt rotator to change a tilt angle with respect to the horizontal surface. The first light module is rotated along the folding rotator to change a folding angle with respect to the middle bar.

[0068] Since the first light module and the second light module may be detachable from the bracket station, there are several types of implementation for the detaching points.

[0069] In the first type when the first light module is detached from the middle bar, the first light module is separated from the first tilt rotator.

[0070] In the second type when the first light module is detached from the middle bar, the first tilt rotator is separated from the folding rotator.

[0071] In the third type when the first light module is detached from the middle bar, the folding rotator is separated from the middle bar.

[0072] Now, please refer to FIG. 8B. FIG. 8B illustrates a second case of joint rotation implementation.

[0073] In a second case in some other embodiments, the first joint connector includes a first tilt rotator 822 and a first folding rotator 821. The first light module 801 and the second light module 803 are connected to the first folding rotator 821 and the second folding rotator 824, the first folding rotator 821 and the second folding rotator 824 are connected to the first tilt rotator 822 and the second tilt rotator 823, and the first tilt rotator 822 and the second tilt rotator 823 are connected to the middle bar 802.

[0074] The first light module is rotated along the tilt rotator to change a tilt angle with respect to the horizontal surface, and the first light module is rotated along the folding rotator to change a folding angle with respect to the middle bar.

[0075] Similarly, there are several types of detaching point since the first light module and the second module may be detachable from the bracket station.

[0076] In the first type when the first light module is detached from the middle bar, the first light module is separated from the first folding rotator.

[0077] In the second type when the first light module is detached from the middle bar, the first tilt rotator is separated from the folding rotator.

[0078] In the third type when the first light module is detached from the middle bar, the tilt rotator is separated from the middle bar.

[0079] In some embodiments, when the first light module or the second light module is detached from the bracket station, they can be used independently. In such case, the first light module or the second light module may have a foldable stand.

[0080] Such foldable stand is retracted when the first light module or the second light module is attached to the station bracket. The foldable stand of the first light module or the second module reaches out to set a tilt angle of the first light module or the second light module when the first light module or the second light module is detached from the bracket station.

[0081] In some embodiments, the bottom base of the bracket station is a H shape structure having a central bar connected with two perpendicularly connected tubes.

[0082] In some embodiments, the middle bar is detachable from the bottom base and the middle bar has a sharpen bottom to be inserted into the ground to fix the portable working light apparatus, when the middle bar is detached from the bottom base. It is just like a camping pin to fix a tent by inserting the pin into the ground when the ground is soft like soil or grass field.

[0083] In some embodiments, the handle bar is bendable. This design makes users easier to handle the portable working light apparatus just like holding a candle station.

[0084] In some other embodiments, instead of the middle bar, the handle bar has a sharpen end to be inserted to the ground and a detachable cap is used for preventing the sharpen end to hurt people. When using such design, a user needs to invert the first light module and the second light module upside down.

[0085] In some embodiments, the bracket station has a battery for supplying power to the first light module and the second light module. Battery may cost some money, but also enhances stability for its weight. In addition, the first light module or the second light module may have different operating parameters depending on whether they are attached to the bracket station or detached from the bracket station and used independently.

[0086] The first light module and the second light module may have different optical characteristic. For example, the first light module may emit soft environment light while the second light module emits focused light beam for particularly emphasize an object in front of the light beam.

[0087] The first light module and the second light module may have internal batteries to be portable and operated independently.

[0088] In some embodiments, the first light module has a front panel, a reflector, a LED module, a waterproof sealing ring, a box for containing a driver circuit and a battery. The second light module may have the same configuration as the first light module. Or, the first light module and the second light module may be completely different.

[0089] In some embodiments, the bracket station may include a mobile phone holder for holding a mobile phone for taking photos. In such case, the first light module and the second light module may help provide light necessary for taking photos.

[0090] In addition to the above-described embodiments, various modifications may be made, and as long as it is within the spirit of the same invention, the various designs that can be made by those skilled in the art are belong to the scope of the present invention.
