Abstract

A lighting apparatus, in particular a reading lamp, is provided. The apparatus can be recessed in a trim of a passenger cab of a vehicle, which can be a land vehicle, an aircraft, or a watercraft. The apparatus has a first light-emitting device that is pivotably mounted to a recess-mounting frame, so that a light-emitting direction of the first light-emitting device with respect to the recess-mounting frame is changeable. To simplify the design of the apparatus, a second light-emitting device is mounted to a visible side of the recess-mounting frame. The second light-emitting device at least partially surrounds the first light-emitting device and is fitted to the recess-mounting frame, so that the light-emitting direction of the second light-emitting device is invariable.
