A fluorescent task lamp includes a housing assembled from first and second
shells for supporting a lens body, first and second CFL bulb receptacles
and first and second CFL bulbs; and a strain relief for an AC power cord
having an integral hub portion with first and second pivot pins that
pivot within first and second opposing pivot bushings formed respectively
in each first and second shell in opposite sides of an aperture or cavity
for receiving the hub portion therein. The pivoting strain relief permits
orienting the power cord so that the lamp may be stood upright upon its
base or hung from its hook.
