2 . The lighting device according to claim 1 , wherein the battery pack, the battery pack receiving portion, and the light housing define a height dimension of the lighting device, and when the light housing is in the second state, a ratio of a height dimension Hex of the lighting device to the height dimension H 1 of the battery pack is greater than or equal to 2.5.

3 . The lighting device according to claim 1 , wherein the light housing defines a central axis, a direction of the central axis is parallel to the height direction, and the light housing extends and shortens along the direction of the central axis.

4 . The lighting device according to claim 3 , wherein the light housing comprises a flexible housing comprising a flexible material.

5 . The lighting device according to claim 4 , wherein the flexible housing comprises flexible portions in a plurality of layers, the flexible portions decrease in dimension layer by layer along a radial direction of the flexible housing, and the flexible housing deforms to remain in the first state or the second state.

6 . The lighting device according to claim 4 , wherein the light housing further comprises a mounting portion for forming or connecting the battery pack receiving portion, and the mounting portion supports the flexible housing.

7 . The lighting device according to claim 6 , wherein a hook is provided on the mounting portion, the hook is movable into an unfolded state, and the hook in the unfolded state keeps the lighting device suspended with the battery pack facing upward.

8 . The lighting device according to claim 7 , wherein the hook in the unfolded state keeps the lighting device suspended in a vertical direction and with the battery pack facing upward.

9 . The lighting device according to claim 6 , wherein the mounting portion is provided with a support portion, the support portion comprises a support surface, the support surface is located above the light source, and when the light housing is in the first state, the support portion keeps the light housing above the light source.

10 . The lighting device according to claim 1 , wherein the air pressure balancing portion comprises air holes for making an inside of the second accommodation portion communicate with an outside of the second accommodation portion, and a porous dust pad is provided on each of the air holes.

11 . The lighting device according to claim 10 , wherein at least a part of the air holes are disposed on the battery pack receiving portion.

12 . The lighting device according to claim 1 , wherein the battery pack is detachably connected to the battery pack receiving portion, the battery pack receiving portion comprises a first port, and a nominal voltage of the battery pack is greater than or equal to 10.8 V.

13 . The lighting device according to claim 12 , further comprising:

a power button for controlling the light source to be lit and extinguished;

a controller coupled to the light source and configured to control the light source; and

a control circuit board on which the controller, the power button, the light source, and the first port are disposed.

14 . The lighting device according to claim 13 , wherein the control circuit board is disposed at least partially in the light housing.

15 . A lighting device, comprising:

a light housing;

a light source disposed at least partially in the light housing;

a battery pack having a height dimension H 1 ; and

a battery pack receiving portion formed on or connected to the light housing;

wherein the light housing is adapted to be placed into a first state having a height dimension H 2 and a second state having a height dimension H 3 along a height direction of the light housing, the height dimension H 2 in the first state is less than the height dimension H 3 in the second state, and the height dimension H 2 in the first state is less than or equal to the height dimension H 1 of the battery pack;

wherein the light housing defines a central axis, a direction of the central axis is parallel to the height direction, and the light housing extends and shortens along the direction of the central axis;

wherein the light housing comprises a flexible housing comprising a flexible material, the flexible housing comprises flexible portions in a plurality of layers, the flexible portions decrease in dimension layer by layer along a radial direction of the flexible housing, and the flexible housing deforms to remain in the first state or the second state.

16 . The lighting device according to claim 15 , wherein the battery pack, the battery pack receiving portion, and the light housing define a height dimension of the lighting device, and when the light housing is in the second state, a ratio of a height dimension Hex of the lighting device to the height dimension H 1 of the battery pack is greater than or equal to 2.5.

17 . The lighting device according to claim 15 , wherein the battery pack is detachably connected to the battery pack receiving portion, the battery pack receiving portion comprises a first port, and a nominal voltage of the battery pack is greater than or equal to 10.8 V.

18 . A lighting device, comprising:

a light housing;
