ABSTRACT:
An orientable passenger reading light is provided for vehicles having a two-part removable bezel arrangement. The lower part of the bezel is freely rotatable to disguise the method of relamping by requiring correct manipulation of the upper bezel part to allow release and removal of the bezel arrangement. A continuously adjustable ball and socket arrangement permits varying the orientation of the light over a wide range such as a 25 degree spherical zone. A simplified locking mechanism may be engaged in any position without tools, to prevent adjustment by passengers. When the locking mechanism is disengaged, enough friction is provided to maintain the orientation despite environment vibration.
