PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an illumination apparatus which can irradiate an effective desired position with light even when an LED illumination body is used.SOLUTION: An illumination apparatus 1 includes a straight-tube-like LED illumination body having a light-emitting part emitting light, and a support body supporting the LED illumination body in such a manner that the direction of the light-emitting part can be changed. The support body supports the LED illumination body in such a manner that the LED illumination body can be rotated around an axial direction, and is configured so as to hold the position of the LED illumination body by means of friction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】LED照明体を用いても、効果を発揮する所望の位置に光を照射できる照明器具の提供を課題とする。【解決手段】本発明の照明器具1は、光を発する発光部を有する直管状のLED照明体と、前記発光部の向きを変えられるように前記LED照明体を支持する支持体とを備え、前記支持体は、前記LED照明体を軸方向周りに回転可能に支持し、摩擦により位置保持できるよう構成される。【選択図】図1
