A dual functional lamp is provided wherein a mirror base having a reflective mirror is disposed above the shade of the lamp. The mirror base is connected to the supporting bracket. The mirror base can be suitable adjusted such that the light emitted from the incandescent bulb can be reflected to a desired location to increase the luminance thereof, consequently the reader may read a book with sufficient luminance.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
The present invention relates to a dual functional lamp, more particularly, 
to a lamp having a reflective mirror wherein the light can be reflected 
downward to desired location to increase the luminance thereof. 
DESCRIPTION OF PRIOR ART 
As our living standard has been upgraded, lighting devices have played a 
great role in our daily life. Having suitable and elegant lighting device 
in our indoor decorations, not only will it bring sufficient luminance 
thereof, but will also provide an aesthetic appearance thereof. 
Accordingly, many an attempts have been provided to increase the function 
to the lamp, such as the wall fixture, pendant, desk lamp, floor lamp and 
track lighting. 
Referring to FIG. 1, a perspective view showing a floor lamp thereof. The 
floor lamp includes a base 10, supporting bracket 11, light shade 12, and 
incandescent bulb 13. The supporting bracket 11 is disposed at the base 10 
at one end. The other end of the supporting bracket 11 is disposed with a 
light shade 12 which opens upward. A incandescent bulb 13 is disposed 
within the shade 12. 
Nevertheless, in the conventional floor lamp, the light beam emitted from 
the incandescent bulb 12 is projected upward which results poor luminance 
in the location beneath. If the owner would like to read a book under the 
floor lamp, it is very hard for the reader to read the book in such a dim 
area. Normally, another lighting device shall be applied which is really 
inconvenient. 
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
It is the object of this invention to provide a floor lamp having a 
reflective mirror wherein the light can be reflected downward to desired 
location to increase the luminance thereof. 
In order to achieve the object set forth, a dual functional floor lamp is 
provided, which includes a mirror base above the shade of the lamp. A 
reflective mirror is disposed at the mirror base. The mirror base is 
connected to the supporting bracket with a linkage which includes a fixed 
linking rod and an adjusting linking rod. The fixed linking rod is 
attached to the supporting bracket at one end and the adjusting linking 
rod is pivotally attached to the free end of the fixed linking rod. The 
free end of the adjusting linking rod is disposed with a ball to be 
pivotally engaged with a socket disposed at back side of the mirror base. 
With a suitable adjustment of the mirror base, the light emitted from the 
incandescent bulb can be reflected to a desired location to increase the 
luminance thereof such that the reader may read a book with sufficient 
luminance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, a perspective and plan views are respectively 
shown. The floor lamp made according to this invention generally comprises 
a base 10, supporting bracket 11, light shade 12, incandescent bulb 13. 
The supporting bracket 11 is disposed at the base 10 at one end. The other 
end of the supporting bracket 11 is disposed with a light shade 12 which 
opens upward. A incandescent bulb 13 is disposed within the shade 12. The 
general configuration is identical to a conventional floor lamp, 
accordingly, no detailed description is made. 
According to one aspect of this invention, a dual functional floor lamp is 
provided, which includes a mirror base 14 above the shade 12 of the lamp. 
A reflective mirror 15 is disposed at the mirror base 14. The mirror base 
14 is connected to the supporting bracket 11 with a linkage 16 which 
includes a fixed linking rod 16a and an adjusting linking rod 16b. The 
fixed linking rod 16a is attached to the supporting bracket 11 at one end. 
Alternatively, the fixed linking rod 16a can be attached to the shade 12 
also. The adjusting linking rod 16b is pivotally attached to the free end 
of the fixed linking rod 16a. The free end of the adjusting linking rod 
16b is disposed with a ball 16c to be pivotally engaged with a socket 16d 
disposed at back side of the mirror base 14. The adjusting linking rod 16b 
can be pivotally adjusted with respect to the fixed linking rod 16a. With 
a suitable adjustment of the mirror base 14, the light emitted from the 
incandescent bulb 13 can be reflected to a desired location to increase 
the luminance thereof such that the reader may read a book with sufficient 
luminance. In light of this, the light beam can be readily adjusted by the 
mirror base 14 and the adjusting linking rod 16b which pivotally mounted 
to the fixed linking rod 16a. 
Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, a schematic illustrations are respectively 
shown. The mirror base 14 can be pivotally adjusted centered on the ball 
16c of the adjusting linking rod 16b of the linkage 16, clearly shown in 
FIG. 5. Accordingly, the mirror 15 on the mirror base 14 can be positioned 
at different angle such that the light emitted from the incandescent lamp 
13 can be reflected and projected downward by the mirror 15 to a desired 
location which may have an enhanced luminance. Consequently, the user can 
read a book under this sufficient luminance projected by the reflective 
mirror 15. In light of this, no additional lighting device is required. By 
the way, the light beam can be also projected to other position. 
While particular embodiment of the present invention has been illustrated 
and described, it would be obvious to those skilled in the art that 
various other changes and modifications can be made without departing from 
the spirit and scope of the invention. It is therefore intended to cover 
in the appended claims all such changes and modifications that are within 
the scope of the present invention.
