Abstract
A rotatable connection for securing a light module to a supporting structure is described herein. The light module directs light towards an illumination area. The light module is directable by rotating the light module using the rotatable connection. The rotatable connection includes an upper connector and a base. The upper connector and the base may secure together with a tool-less connection. the upper connector couples to the light module through a rotatable connection that enables rotation of the light module without use of tools and also resists rotation of the light module after the light module has been installed at a particular angle.
Claims26
A light fixture comprising:
- a light module comprising a light source adapted to emit light generated by the light source, the light module comprising an electrical connection to receive electrical power for the light source;
- a rotatable mount comprising:
- a light fixture connector adapted to couple to the light module at a first end of the light module, the light fixture connector having a cylindrical shape with a plurality of recesses arranged around an outer perimeter of the cylindrical shape;
- an upper connector defining a circular opening adapted to receive the cylindrical shape of the light fixture connector, the upper connector further comprising a protrusion that extends into the circular opening and that is adapted to engage with one of the plurality of recesses on the light fixture connector, the light fixture connector and the upper connector being adapted to rotate relative to each other through a range of rotation of at least one hundred and sixty degrees;
- and
- a base connector adapted to releasably couple with the upper connector to secure the upper connector to a supporting structure.
A light fixture comprising:
- a light module comprising a light source adapted to emit light generated by the light source, the light module comprising an electrical connection to receive electrical power for the light source;
- a rotatable mount comprising:
- a light fixture connector adapted to couple to the light module at a first end of the light module, the light fixture connector having a cylindrical shape with a plurality of recesses arranged around an outer perimeter of the cylindrical shape;
- an upper connector defining a circular opening adapted to receive the cylindrical shape of the light fixture connector, the upper connector further comprising a protrusion that extends into the circular opening that is adapted to engage with one of the plurality of recesses on the light fixture connector;
- and
- a base connector adapted to couple to a supporting structure, the upper connector adapted to couple to the base connector with a tool-less connection system to mount the light module to the supporting structure.
A rotatable mount for a fixture, comprising:
- a fixture connector having a cylindrical shape with a plurality of recesses arranged around an outer perimeter of the cylindrical shape, the fixture connector adapted to couple to an end of the fixture and enable an electrical connection to the fixture through a center of the cylindrical shape;
- an upper connector defining a circular opening adapted to receive the cylindrical shape of the fixture connector, the upper connector further comprising a protrusion that extends into the circular opening and that is adapted to engage with one of the plurality of recesses on the fixture connector;
- and
- a base connector adapted to releasably couple with the upper connector to secure the upper connector to a supporting structure.
