Abstract
A height adjustable lamp assembly includes a frame, a reel supported by the frame, a canopy surrounding the frame and the reel, an electrical cord wound around the reel, and a lamp. The frame includes a mounting plate configured to couple to a mounting location and a base plate coupled to the mounting plate. The base plate defines a cord aperture. A lower end of the electrical cord extends through the cord aperture. The lamp is coupled to the lower end of the electrical cord. Winding the electrical cord around the reel or paying out the electrical cord from the reel adjusts a height of the lamp.

A height adjustable lamp assembly comprising:
- a frame including:
- a mounting plate configured to couple to a mounting location;
- a base plate coupled to the mounting plate, the base plate defining a cord aperture;
- and
- an arm coupling the mounting plate to the base plate, wherein the arm extends downward from an edge of the mounting plate and terminates at the base plate;
- a reel supported by the frame;
- a canopy surrounding the frame and the reel;
- an electrical cord wound around the reel, a lower end of the electrical cord extending through the cord aperture;
- and
- a lamp coupled to the lower end of the electrical cord, wherein winding the electrical cord around the reel or paying out the electrical cord from the reel adjusts a height of the lamp.
