Abstract

A daylight portable lamp for inspecting painted surfaces, in particular during paint repair work on motor vehicles, has a setting device for setting the light intensity. The setting device has an operating element that can be adjusted between a minimum position and a maximum position, the light intensity being set to a minimum in the minimum position and the light intensity being set to a maximum in the maximum position. When the operating element is arranged in the vicinity of the minimum or maximum position returns automatically to the relevant minimum or maximum position on the basis of a spring restoring force. The operating element can be arranged infinitely variably in at least one transitional adjusting region between the minimum and maximum position without the operating element returning automatically to the minimum or maximum position, so that in the transitional adjusting region the light intensity can be set infinitely variably by the operating element.
