Abstract
A lighting fixture includes a light engine, a reflector, a housing, and an adjustment assembly for moving the reflector relative to the housing. The light engine includes a light emitter. The reflector is positioned proximate the light emitter and is configured to receive light output from the light emitter. The housing is positioned around at least a portion of the reflector. The adjustment assembly includes a first adjuster and a second adjuster.
Claims19
A lighting fixture comprising:
- a light engine including a light emitter;
- a reflector positioned proximate the light emitter and configured to receive light output from the light emitter;
- a housing positioned around at least a portion of the reflector;
- and
- an adjustment assembly for moving the reflector relative to the housing, the adjustment assembly including a first adjuster and a second adjuster, operation of the first adjuster causing the reflector to pivot relative to the housing about a transverse axis oriented transverse with respect to a longitudinal axis of the housing, the second adjuster being movable between a first position and a second position, the reflector secured against rotation relative to the housing about the housing axis while the second adjuster is in a first position, at least a portion of the reflector permitted to freely rotate relative to the housing about the housing axis while the second adjuster is in the second position,
- wherein the first adjuster includes a screw and an adjustment nut, the screw coupled to the housing and threadably coupled to the adjustment nut, the adjustment nut received within an elongated slot of a bracket, the bracket coupled to the reflector so that a slot axis extending along the elongated slot is positioned obliquely with respect to an axis parallel to a reflector axis, wherein rotation of the screw causes movement of the adjustment nut within the slot and causes the reflector to pivot about the transverse axis.
A lighting fixture comprising:
- a light engine including a light emitter;
- a reflector positioned proximate the light emitter and configured to receive light output from the light emitter;
- a housing positioned around at least a portion of the reflector;
- an adjustment assembly for moving the reflector relative to the housing, the adjustment assembly including a first adjuster and a second adjuster, operation of the first adjuster causing the reflector to pivot relative to the housing about a transverse axis oriented transverse with respect to a longitudinal axis of the housing, the second adjuster being movable between a first position and a second position, the reflector secured against rotation relative to the housing about the housing axis while the second adjuster is in a first position, at least a portion of the reflector permitted to freely rotate relative to the housing about the housing axis while the second adjuster is in the second position, the second adjuster including a screw, an adjustment tab, and a securing member, the second adjuster coupled to a projection on an inner surface of the housing, wherein loosening the screw permits adjustment of the reflector, loosening the screw allowing an inner ring of the housing to rotate while an outer ring of the housing is stationary;
- a groove disposed between the inner ring and the outer ring;
- and
- a setscrew positioned within the groove to couple the inner ring to the outer ring and allow for free rotation of the inner ring with respect to the outer ring.
A lighting fixture comprising:
- a light engine including a light emitter;
- a reflector positioned proximate the light emitter and configured to receive light output from the light emitter;
- a housing positioned around at least a portion of the reflector;
- and
- an adjustment assembly for moving the reflector relative to the housing, the adjustment assembly including a first adjuster and a second adjuster,
- wherein the reflector is an upper reflector, the light fixture further comprising a lower reflector, the lower reflector removably coupled to the housing by magnets.
An adjustment system for a lighting fixture, the lighting fixture including a light engine, a reflector coupled to the light engine, and a housing positioned around the reflector, the adjustment assembly comprising:
- a first adjuster including,
- a first fastening member, and
- an adjustment nut coupled to the reflector and received within an elongated slot, the first fastening member received within the adjustment nut;
- a second adjuster including,
- an adjustment member movable between a first position and a second position, the adjustment member securing movement of the reflector relative to the housing while the adjustment member is in the first position, the adjustment member permitting movement of the reflector relative to the housing while the adjustment member is in the second position, and
- a second fastening member engaging the adjustment member, loosening the second fastening member permitting the adjustment member to be moved between the first position and the second position, tightening the second fastening member securing the adjustment member in at least one of the first position and the second position.
