(54) Luminaire


(57) The luminaire has a trunk (10) with side walls (13) which diverge from a base (11) towards a mounting opening (12) and in which inwardly directed folds (15) are present. A batten (1), provided at an outer surface (2) with means (3) for accommodating an electric lamp, is fixed in the mounting opening (12). The luminaire can be secured to a ceiling by means of a rigid coupling piece (30) which can hook itself into the folds (15). The trunk (10) can be pressed laterally into the coupling piece (30) when the batten (1) is absent. The coupling is locked by the batten (1) after the latter has been put into place.
