Abstract
A light fixture apparatus includes a support frame mounted to the wall and an auxiliary or examination light source coupled to the support frame and movable from a first stored position to a second deployed position. A first switch in series with the auxiliary light source is opened when the auxiliary light is in the stored position and closed when the auxiliary light is in the deployed position. The light source has three degrees of adjustment. The light source is connected to one end of telescopic members which are pivotally connected at its second end to the support to pivot about an axis transverse the telescoping axis. A safety switch is provided adjacent the telescopic members to sense the pivoting.
