1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a support arm having a longitudinal axis;
a base having a mounting surface, the base pivotally coupled to said support arm, the support arm being reconfigurable between a first orientation in which said mounting surface of said base is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis and coupleable to a vertical surface, and a second orientation in which said mounting surface of said base is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and can be freestanding on a horizontal surface;
a light source coupled to said support arm; and
a mobile removably coupled to said support arm, whereby when said support arm is in said first orientation, said apparatus can be coupled to a crib rail to function as a crib mobile, and when said support arm is in said second orientation, said apparatus can be freestanding on a horizontal surface to function as a lamp.

Abstract
An apparatus having a support arm, a base coupled to the support arm to maintain the support arm in upright orientation and moveable between a first orientation in which the base is coupleable to a vertical surface, and a second orientation in which the base can rest on a horizontal surface. A light source is coupled to the support arm and a mobile coupled to said support arm, whereby when the base is in the first orientation, the apparatus can be coupled to a crib rail to function as a crib mobile, and when the base is in the second orientation, the apparatus can rest on a horizontal surface to function as a lamp.
