    (54) Illuminating devices


    (57) With reference to Figures 1 and 3, an illuminating device comprises a tubular outer sleeve 12 provided with an elongated transparent window 13, with an inner sleeve 22 formed with an aperture 27. The inner sleeve 22 houses a pair of self-luminous light sources 30.
    Relative rotation between the inner and outer sleeves 22, 12 determines the shape illuminated by the sources 30 and visible through the window 13.
    The inner sleeve 22 thus serves as a shutter in controlling light emission.
