Provided is a variable lighting apparatus that may include a lighting unit to emit light and including a plurality of connection end portions extending in different directions and at different angels, a supporting unit selectively connected with one of the plurality of connection end portions of the lighting unit to support the lighting unit, and to provide power to the connected lighting unit based on a contact point connection scheme. At least one of a light angle, a light direction, an elevation of light, and an amount of light associated with light emitted from the lighting unit varies based on a change in a state of connections between the plurality of connections portions and the supporting unit. The variable lighting apparatus may readily vary a lighting condition by changing a state of a connection between the lighting unit and the supporting unit.
