Abstract
A portable reading lamp having an attached conformable base is provided. The conformable base comprises a sealed bag of granular displaceable material which enables the lamp to be easily mounted on most surfaces, including the user's body, by conforming to the profile of the underlying surface. The conformable bag is arranged to receive and releaseably retain an attached lamp assembly operably embedded into the displaceable material and adjusted in such a way that the light beam produced by the lamp is acceptably stable and has a sufficiently narrow span of illumination to achieve an acceptable level of illumination while being restricted to the reading material.
