A lighting apparatus includes a base plate, a driver module, a light source, a mechanical switch, a main housing, and a manual switch. The driver module is disposed on a top surface of the base plate. The light source is also disposed on the top surface of the base plate. The mechanical switch is disposed on the base plate. The mechanical switch has multiple states to be selected. The driver reads a selected state to control the light source. The main housing encloses the base plate. The manual switch is disposed on the main housing. An operating part of the manual switch is exposed outside the main housing to be operated by a user. When a user moves the operating part of the manual switch, the connecting part of the manual switch carries the mechanical switch to change the selected state.
