Abstract
A security light assembly that is mountable to a junction box and connectable to a power source via electrical cable comprises a housing comprising a base and a cover having a lens and a window portion. A sub-assembly comprises a first bracket attached to the base, a second bracket attached to the first bracket at a first location and selectively moveable about the first location between at least a first position and at least a second position that is different from the first position. When in the first position, the second bracket at least partially obstructs access to an access port, and when in the second position the second bracket does not at least partially obstruct access to the access port to enable connection of the electrical cable to the connection in the housing.
Claims23
A security light assembly mountable to a junction box and connectable to a power source via electrical cable routed through the junction box, the light assembly comprising:
- a housing comprising a base and a cover having a lens and a window portion, the cover being removable from the base, and the base being attachable to the junction box, the housing having provided therein a connection for the electrical cable;
- an access port defined through the base and through which the electrical cable may pass, the electrical cable being connectable to the connection in the housing;
- a sub-assembly comprising:
- a first bracket attached to the base;
- a second bracket attached to the first bracket at a first location and selectively moveable about the first location between at least a first position and at least a second position that is different from the first position;
- a solid state light assembly attached to the second bracket and configured to receive power from the power source;
- wherein, when in the first position the second bracket at least partially obstructs access to the access port, and when in the second position the second bracket does not at least partially obstruct access to the access port to enable connection of the electrical cable to the connection in the housing.

- a solid state light assembly attached to the second bracket and configured to received power from the power source;
- wherein, when in the first position the second bracket at least partially obstructs access to the access port, and when in the second position the second bracket does not at least partially obstruct access to the access port to enable connection of the electrical cable to the solid state light source.
