Abstract: One purpose is to smoothly raise and lower a telescopic post used in a floodlight. There is provided a floodlight that includes: a telescopic post that has a plurality of posts whose outer diameters are made gradually smaller, into which the posts can be loosely fitted, and that can be extended and contracted in an up-down direction; a lighting unit attached to the post located on the innermost side; a raising and lowering unit that extends and contracts, in the up-down direction, the posts in conjunction with each other; a base that the post located on the outermost side is fixed to; and dampers that connect a side surface of the post located on the outermost side and a side surface of the post located on the second outermost side.

Abstract: One purpose is to smoothly raise and lower a telescopic post used in a floodlight. A floodlight according to the present invention includes: a telescopic post 2 that has a plurality of posts 21 to 25 whose outer diameters are made gradually smaller, into which the posts 21 to 25 can be loosely fitted, and that can be extended and contracted in an up-down direction; a lighting unit 3 attached to the post 25 located on the innermost side; a raising and lowering unit 26 that extends and contracts, in the up-down direction, the posts 21 to 25 in conjunction with each other; a base 4 that the post 21 located on the outermost side is fixed to; and dampers 27a, 27b that connect a side surface of the post 21 located on the outermost side and a side surface of the post 22 located on the second outermost side.
