Abstract

The lighting apparatus, especially a reading lamp, has a light source (48), a movable cover (24) to which the light source (48) is fastened, an adjusting element (21) that cooperates with the cover (24), a bearing unit (26) for supporting the cover (24) and an adjusting ring (21). The cover (24) and light source (48) are movable around a longitudinal axis (L) of the lighting apparatus (10) by actuating the adjusting element (21) and the cover (24) and light source (48) are moveable around a transverse axis (Q) extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (L) by actuating the cover (24). The lighting apparatus in the form of the reading lamp is particularly useful aboard aircraft, ships, trains, automobiles, or other vehicles.
