Abstract
A floor lamp apparatus is provided in which an elongated lightbulb, preferably a fluorescent lightbulb, is supported above the floor. The apparatus is preferably triangular, the first and second sides of the triangle forming a support structure, and the elongated lightbulb being fixed along the third side. The elongated lightbulb can thereby be supported above the surface by either of the first and second sides, and at different angles relative to the surface. The invention is particularly useful to detachably support fluorescent light units of the type having at least one elongated fluorescent lightbulb fixed to an elongated channel housing. a cradle can be formed in the third side to receive and retain the channel housing. Adjacent sides are preferably detachable, or pivotally connected, to permit convenient folding and storage of the apparatus.
