## Abstract

A security lighting apparatus having a threaded contact post for electrically coupling, via screw-in installation, with a standard Edison-style socket, wherein the threaded post rotates independently relative to the remainder of the security lighting apparatus. As a result, during the installation the head component of the security lighting apparatus remains stationary relative to a previously established orientation so that proper positioning of the security lighting functionality is undisturbed during installation. A lock ring disposed between the threaded contact post and remainder of the security lighting apparatus moves between a locked engagement and an unlocked engagement enabling the independent rotation of the threaded contact post.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A security lighting apparatus comprising:
a head component for housing security components; and
a threaded contact post operatively associated with the head component so that the threaded contact post rotates independently relative to the head component while providing an electrical connection therebetween,
whereby the head component is stationary during screw-in installation of the threaded contact post to an Edison-style socket.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The security lighting apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a rotational lock ring between the threaded contact post and the head component, wherein the rotational lock ring selectively moves between an unlocked engagement and a locked engagement preventing rotation of the threaded contact post relative to the head component.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The security lighting apparatus of claim 2, further comprising a housing directly interconnecting the head component and the threaded contact post, wherein a direct connection between the threaded contact post and the housing defines a rotatable connection.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The security lighting apparatus of claim 3, wherein the threaded contact post comprises:
a tapered circumference;
threading along an external surface of the tapered circumference, wherein the threading is dimensioned and shaped to mesh with an Edison-style socket; and
a distal end having an electrical contact configured to form an electrical connection with the Edison-style socket.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The security lighting apparatus of claim 4, wherein the threaded contact post rotates along a longitudinal axis shared by the threaded contact post, the housing, and the head component.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The security lighting apparatus of claim 5, wherein the threaded contact post, the housing, and the head component are coaxial.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The security lighting apparatus of claim 5, wherein the head component comprises a motion sensor.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The security lighting apparatus of claim 7, wherein the motion sensor requires a predetermined orientation relative to a surveillance space.
