Abstract

A pneumatic lighting apparatus (10) for use with a pneumatically driven tool (82) includes a pneumatic motor (46) driven by compressed air, and an electrical generator (44) for generating an electrical current. A lamp (20) is provided in a circuit with the generator (44) for emitting light adapted to be directed onto an area in which the tool (82) is being used. A conduit (86) is pro-vided which is connected between the outlet (68) of the motor (46) and an inlet (146) of the tool (82) in order to deliver com-pressed air from the apparatus (10) to the tool (82). In order to permit control of the lighting apparatus (10) independent of op-eration of the tool (82), a control valve (70) is provided for controlling the flow of compressed air through the motor (46).
