Abstract
Methods and apparatus for a rotatable light fixture secured to a junction box via a mounting base. The electrical and/or mechanical connection between the light fixture housing and the mounting base may maintain the electrical coupling during rotation. The light fixture housing may be rotationally secured in a variety of rotational orientations relative to the mounting base.
Claims29
A rotatable light fixture and receiving mounting base which maintains electrical connectivity between the light fixture and the mounting base, comprising:
- the mounting base mountable to a surface and electrically connectable to a junction box and power supply wires of the junction box;
- the mounting base having a plurality of annularly extending rotationally exposed contacts and a third contact positioned with the annularly extending rotationally exposed contacts;
- the rotatable light fixture including a plurality of electrical contacts in rotational engagement with the plurality of annularly extending rotationally exposed contacts and the third contact of the mounting base;
- wherein the light fixture maintains electrical connectivity between the electrical contacts of the light fixture and the plurality of annularly extending rotationally exposed contacts of the mounting base for rotational engagement between the light fixture and the mounting base;
- wherein the light fixture includes a plurality of LEDs, the plurality of LEDs in electrical connectivity with the electrical contacts of the light fixture;
- the mounting base and the light fixture rotationally engaged to each other and rotationally secured to each other through a mechanical locking mechanism.
