Abstract: A reading lamp for an aircraft cabin, particularly installed above a passenger seat, has a light source emitting a light beam with an optical axis extending substantially horizontally so that a light beam can be deflected by an optical deflector such as a mirror, to a passenger seat. This orientation of the light source provides a compact construction of the reading lamp. Preferably the deflector position is adjustable relative to the optical axis.

Abstract: A control device for the actuation of lamps in particular for internal aircraft lighting, wherein the control device (1) has an input (18) for the supply of an input signal and a plurality of outputs (21-28) for passing output signals to connected lamps (L1-L8). In the control device (1) a signal processing module (8-12) is preferably formed by a microprocessor and a preferably freely programmable electronic memory (13-17). The signal processing module (8-12) produces the output signals from the input signal in accordance with a conversion instruction deposited in the memory (13-17), wherein different conversion instructions can be stored in the memory (13-17) for output signals belonging to different outputs (21-28).
