Abstract
A lamp assembly is oriented inside a mounting structure to direct illumination out of an opening in the mounting structure. A coupling is selectively engageable to fix the orientation of the lamp assembly, and selectively disengageable by accessing it through the opening to change the orientation of the lamp assembly. The coupling may comprise a latching assembly that can be selectively engaged to fix the orientation of the lamp assembly at a plurality of predetermined discrete orientations. A stop may be carried by the mounting structure to prevent the lamp assembly from pivoting through the opening.
Claims17
A light fixture comprising:
- a mounting structure defining an opening;
- a lamp assembly including an elongated lamp extending along an axis and an elongated reflector, the lamp assembly being oriented inside the mounting structure to direct illumination out of the opening when the lamp is energized;
- a coupling between the mounting structure and the lamp assembly, the coupling being configured to permit the lamp assembly to pivot with respect to the mounting structure about an axis parallel to and spaced apart from the axis of the elongated lamp;
- and
- a stop carried by the mounting structure, the stop being configured to prevent the lamp assembly from pivoting through the opening in the mounting structure.
