Abstract
An interior light for a vehicle includes a lamp housing for attachment to a vehicle with a lamp positioned within the housing. A cover panel is coupled to the housing, and a light control panel is slidably mounted between the housing and cover panel. The light control panel includes at least a pair of spaced sections which can be selectively aligned with the lamp, with each of the sections uniquely controlling light from the lamp to provide a selectable lighting effect by movement of the light control panel.
