Abstract
A reading light incorporates a light fitting containing a light source, a light main body and a spring. The cover of the light fitting includes an outer surface formed of a part of a spherical surface. The body of the light fitting is formed of a metal, and includes a back surface formed of another part of the spherical surface. The light main body includes a receiving/guiding portion that supports the outer surface. The receiving/guiding portion supports the light fitting so that the light fitting is rotatable, thereby enabling the direction of light emitted from the light fitting to be changed. The light fitting is fitted in the light main body by pressing the back surface using the spring. Either the receiving/guiding portion or cover is formed of a metal, and the other is formed of a resin.
