Mounting apparatus for adjustably positioning a lighting device

A mounting apparatus for adjustably positioning a lighting device, said mounting apparatus comprising:

• a mounting bracket having an ear, said ear including an aperture;
• a first indicator coupled to said ear of said mounting bracket, said first indicator comprising a plurality of visual indicia;
• a trunnion including a hub located within said aperture of said ear of said mounting bracket, a flange extending outwardly from said hub, and a second indicator located adjacent said first indicator, said hub of said trunnion adapted to be attached to the lighting device such that said trunnion and the lighting device are selectively conjointly rotatable about a rotational axis with respect to said first indicator member and said mounting bracket;
• whereby said second indicator of said trunnion and the lighting device can be selectively rotated about said rotational axis to locate said second indicator at a desired measured position with respect to said visual indicia of said first indicator such that the lighting device is located in a desired orientation with respect to said mounting bracket.

A vibration isolating mounting device for mounting a lighting device to a mounting apparatus, said mounting device comprising:

• a vibration isolator member having a peripheral edge and an aperture located within said peripheral edge, said vibration isolator member being formed from a vibration absorbing material;
• a core member located in said aperture of said isolator member and coupled to said isolator member, said core member adapted to be coupled to the mounting apparatus;
• and
• a clamp having an opening adapted to receive said isolator member such that said isolator member is coupled to said clamp, said clamp adapted to couple said isolator member to the lighting device;
• whereby said isolator member is adapted to reduce the transmission of vibrations from the mounting apparatus and core member to said clamp and the lighting device.
