Abstract
A rotatable light device having at least a pair of light bulbs. An elongated bulb housing retains the light bulbs. The bulb housing has an axis of rotation passing through a pair of opposed bushings, with at least one set of power supply wires extending from the bulbs through one of the bushings. A pivot bracket receives the bushings so that the bulb housing can rotate with respect to the bracket 360° about the axis. Alternate and replaceable fastening mechanisms are provided extending from the pivot bracket with the fastening mechanisms being detachable from the bracket.
Claims11
A rotatable light device having alternate and removable fastening mechanisms, which device comprises:
- at least one light bulb;
- an elongated bulb housing to retain said at least one bulb, said bulb housing having an axis of rotation passing through a pair of opposed bushings;
- a pivot bracket receiving said opposed bushings so that said bulb housing can rotate with respect to said bracket 360° about said axis;
- and
- a suction cup fastening mechanism for attachment to a flat surface and a rail lock fastening mechanism for attachment to a rail, each of said fastening mechanisms detachable from said pivot bracket.
A rotatable light device having alternate and removable fastening mechanisms, which device comprises:
- a pair of flourescent bulbs, at least one of which is a black light;
- an elongated bulb housing to retain said bulbs, said bulb housing having an axis passing through a pair of opposed bushings, with at least one set of power supply wires extending from said bulbs through one of said bushings;
- a pivot bracket receiving said opposed bushings so that said bulb housing can rotate with respect to said bracket 360° about said axis;
- and
- suction cup mechanism for attachment to a flat surface and a rail lock mechanism for attachment to a rail said suction cup mechanism and said rail mount clamp mechanism each being detachable from said pivot bracket.
A method to secure and position a rotatable light device, which method comprises:
- rotating a bulb housing having at least one light bulb therein with respect to a pivot bracket about an axis to a desired position anywhere within a 360° radius;
- choosing between a suction cup fastening mechanism for a flat surface structure and a rail lock fastening mechanism for a rail structure
- connecting one of said fastening mechanisms to said pivot bracket;
- and
- utilizing said one chosen fastening mechanism to secure said pivot bracket to a desired structure.
