Claim:
A lighting apparatus comprising: a single dimmable light source, the intensity of the light source adjustable to at least two levels when the light source is activated; a substantially tubular elongated housing inside of which the light source is disposed on a center axis that extends substantially lengthwise inside the housing and substantially parallel to the housing, the housing having a first end and a second end, wherein the second end includes an opening, oriented at an angle from the center axis, through which light emitted from the light source exits the housing in a direction angular to the center axis, and the second end has a swivel portion rotatable at least partially around the center axis to change the direction the light exits the housing; and a pivot member coupled to the housing and adapted to mount to a mounting surface that allows the housing to rotate from a stowed position adjacent to the mounting surface to a deployed position protruding from the mounting surface, the pivot member including a support comprising a detent and a complementary notch that urge the housing in a direction of rotation and into at least one position within a range of rotation between the stowed position and the deployed position; wherein the first end and the second end are at least partially transversely flexibly coupled to each other; and further comprising an auto-off circuit, wherein the auto-off circuit switches off the light source when the housing is in the stowed position.
