Abstract
A variable lighting apparatus allows the light to selectively enter the plurality of optical fibers by changing the position of the light output member having a circular plate shape in the state in which the number of light sources is minimized, such that the optical fibers simultaneously or individually emit light, and thus the patterns in which the light is to be outputted are diversified. In addition, the variable lighting apparatus may minimize the number of required light sources and implement various lighting images only by using the light output member, thereby reducing the manufacturing costs and simplifying the structure.
