The remaining portion of the support rod 106b protrudes outside the lamp body 101. The bracket 106c is disposed on the support rod 106b located in the lamp body 101. The bracket 106c has a plurality of support portions 107, each of which supports a corresponding lamp tube 108. The rotating member 106a is disposed on a support rod 106b that protrudes outside the lamp body 101. When the rotating element 106a is rotated, the support rod 106b can be driven And the bracket 106c rotates. In this embodiment, the rotating element 106a is a rotating handle, which is convenient for the user to rotate the handlebar to drive the support rod 106b and the bracket 106c to rotate, thereby driving the plurality of lamps 108 to rotate.

Please refer to FIG. 3, which is a perspective view of the lamp body of the lamp of the switchable lamp of FIG. 1. When a plurality of lamps 108 are assembled in the lamp body 101, a plurality of lamps 108 are fixed to the brackets 106c. The end of the support portion 107, and the positions of the plurality of lamps 108 are symmetrical with each other with reference to the center of the holder 106c. Therefore, when the support rod 106b rotates, the bracket 106c will drive the plurality of lamps 108 to rotate at the same time.

Please refer to FIG. 4, which illustrates an end cover of a lamp body according to an embodiment of the invention. Each end cap 103 has a ring-shaped groove 103b therein for sliding both ends of the plurality of lamps 108 in the annular groove 103b. The annular groove 103b has a pair of electrical contacts 104a for electrically coupling with an external power source. When the lamp 108 conductive pin 108a is rotated to engage the electrical contact 104a of the end cap 103, the particular lamp is connected to the power source and illuminated.

Please refer to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 simultaneously, which respectively show the brackets of the two lamps of the switchable lamp tube according to the embodiment of the present invention. A C-shaped lamp clip 107a is provided at the end of each of the support portions 107 of the bracket 106c' to detachably fix a lamp 108. The tube 108 can be detached from the opening of the tube clamp 107a. An O-ring 107b is disposed at an end of each support portion 107 of the bracket 106c", and a lamp tube 108 is detachably fixed. The lamp tube 108 can be inserted or removed from the annular opening of the O-ring 107b. And is fixed in the annular opening of the O-ring 107b. In practical applications, each support portion is not limited to only holding one lamp tube, and may also hold a plurality of lamps, so this embodiment is not Limited.
