Abstract
A device for mounting a lamp on a stationary support has a housing and first and second pivots on the housing for securing the housing to the support for pivoting of the housing on the support about first and second nonparallel axes. A first brake on the housing can free the housing to rotate on the support about the first axis or hold it to prevent the housing from rotating on the support about the first axis. Similarly, a second brake on the housing can free the lamp to rotate on the housing about the second axis or hold it to prevent it from rotating on the housing about the second axis. A single actuating element on the housing is connected to both of the brakes for jointly displacing them between the freeing and holding positions.
