1. A light, comprising:
a battery pack;
a base portion which engages the battery pack;
an intermediate section rotatably connected to the base portion;
a light section rotatably connected to the intermediate section, wherein the light section comprises a light generator which produces light and a light projecting surface from which the light is projected;
wherein the intermediate section is rotatable relative to the base portion about a first axis;
wherein the light section is rotatable relative to the intermediate section about a second axis;
wherein the first axis is orthogonal to the second axis;
wherein the light generator comprises a plurality of light emitting diodes;
wherein the battery pack is removable from the base portion;
wherein the battery pack is a power tool battery pack;
wherein the light section is wider than the intermediate section;
wherein the intermediate section is rotatable relative to the base portion about an angle substantially greater than ninety degrees; and
wherein the second axis is a longitudinal axis of the light section;
wherein the intermediate section comprises a first portion, a second portion and a third portion;
wherein the first portion is closer to the first axis than the second portion and third portion are to the first axis;
wherein the third portion is closer to the light section than the first portion and the second portion are to the light section;
wherein the second portion is between the first portion and the third portion;
wherein the second portion extends at an angle between the first portion and the third portion;
wherein the second portion has a second portion side face with a first edge and a second edge;
wherein the first edge extends generally parallel to the second edge;
wherein the third portion has a third portion side face with a third edge and a fourth edge;
wherein the third edge extends generally parallel to the fourth edge;
wherein the first edge is at an angle with respect to the third edge.
