Abstract
A lighting fixture is slidably mounted on a track support which may advantageously be secured to any existing or available structure within or around the work space. In one preferred embodiment, it is secured to the side of a computer monitor which is either located on or adjacent to the work surface which is to be illuminated. The track support may be mounted on the computer monitor or other surface at any angle from vertical through horizontal thus providing a wide variety of options for an individual using the improved fixture of the present invention. The lamp fixture socket support is preferably rotatably mounted on a sliding car member which moves along the track support and also provides a first axis of rotation for the fixture. A reflector housing is also rotatably secured to the sliding car or fixture which thus provides a second axis of rotation for the fixture allowing greatest flexibility for positioning the lamp.
