摘要

A portable lamp having fluorescent tubes 18 within a transparent housing 16 mounted on a battery casing 20 is provided with a reflector 24 which can be slid from within the housing under its own weight (by inverting the lamp) into a position to reflect all the light to one side only. The reflector is held in this position by magnet 48 engaging recess 50 in the reflector slide mechanism 42,44,46. A spring-loaded release pin 56 with a manually operated mechanism 28-38 disengages the magnet.
