Abstract: An arrangement in working lamps intended for close-range illumination of working areas, such as desks, working benches and the like. This type of lamps generally comprise an upper pivotable arm which supports the light fittings, a lower pivotable arm which is attached to the working area, and various kinds of spring means to take moments of leverage.The purpose of the invention is to simplify such prior-art structures while at the same time retain a maximum of possible positions of the lamp.In accordance with the invention, this purpose is achieved by the provision of a rail extending from a segment positioned between the upper and the lower pivotable arm essentially in parallel with the lower arm, to a guide means in a housing in which the lower end of the lower arm is pivotally mounted.
