    Jim:

    In addition to keeping the bulb tight, the drop light should not be used
    as an extension cord - even if provided with outlets. Plugging and
    unplugging other devices can cause arcing with the same disastrous
    consequences. The same cautions apply to use of these lights near
    gasoline or gasoline vapors.
