Light fitting system

A light fitting system comprising

• a light fitting for recessed mounting of a luminaire in a substrate, the light fitting comprising a luminaire support and a base for receiving the luminaire support;
• and
• a luminaire support tool for manipulating the luminaire support in relation to the base of the light fitting,
• wherein the luminaire support and the luminaire support tool are configured for cooperative inter-engagement whereby the tool may be releasably inter-engaged with the luminaire support to enable manipulation of the luminaire support in relation to the base,
• wherein the tool is a hand tool,
• wherein the tool has a first configuration in which the tool adopts an engaged configuration in which it can be cooperatively inter-engaged with a corresponding luminaire support and a second configuration in which the tool adopts a released configuration in which it may not be cooperatively inter-engaged with a luminaire support and may be moved independently of the luminaire support,
• wherein the luminaire support has an expanded waist portion;
• and the base has a socket portion arranged to receive the waist portion, wherein angular orientation of luminaire support in relation to the base is adjustable by way of relative movement between the socket portion and the waist portion and wherein at least one of the socket portion or waist portion has a resilient member arranged to releasably retain the waist portion in the socket portion, and
• wherein an intumescent seal is provided about the circumference of the luminaire support in a manner such that in the event of failure of the resilient member the intumescent seal prevents the luminaire support from falling from the base, wherein the intumescent seal is provided by a strip of intumescent tape disposed in an annular channel formed in a tail of the luminaire support.
