AIRCRAFT PASSENGER READING LIGHT

An aircraft passenger reading light (2), which is operable in at least two predetermined configurations, comprises: a light source (12); an optical element (18); and an actuation mechanism (17), which is configured to modify a distance between the light source (12) and the optical element (18). The distance (D) between the light source (12) and the optical element (18) differs in the at least two predetermined configurations and a spatial extension of the illumination, which results from the light output (40) of the light source (12) and the optical element (18), differs in the at least two predetermined configurations.
