Light fixture with lamp adjustment assembly

A lamp adjustment assembly for a light fixture, the lamp adjustment assembly, comprising:

• a socket platform comprising a base and a hollow neck, wherein the base has a socket mounted thereto and wherein the interior of the hollow neck includes at least three spaced apart cam followers;
• a cam having a plurality of spiral groove, wherein a first portion of the cam fits at least partially within the interior of the hollow neck of the socket platform so that the cam followers mate with the grooves;
• an adjustment knob coupled to a second portion of the cam and rotatably coupled to a socket housing, wherein the socket housing at least partially encloses the lamp adjustment assembly;
• at least two slots positioned within the interior of the socket housing and extending at least partially along the height of the socket housing;
• and
• at least two alignment wings extending from the base of the socket platform, wherein each alignment wing is sized to fit within a corresponding one of the slots so that the alignment wings and the corresponding slots limit the linear range of motion of the socket platform.

A light fixture having an improved lamp adjustment assembly, comprising:

• a socket housing for at least partially enclosing a socket;
• a lamp housing for at least partially enclosing a lamp installed within the socket, said lamp housing including a first end for emitting light from the lamp and a second end removably coupled to the socket housing, wherein the second end of the lamp housing is wider than the lamp so as to allow the lamp housing to be removed from the socket housing without first removing the lamp from the socket;
• and
• a lamp adjustment assembly comprising:
• a socket platform comprising a base and a hollow neck, wherein the socket is mounted to the base and wherein the interior of the hollow neck includes at least three spaced apart cam followers,
• a cam having at least one spiral groove, wherein a first portion of the cam fits at least partially within the interior of the hollow neck of the socket platform so that the cam followers mate with the at least one groove,
• an adjustment knob coupled to a second portion of the cam and rotatably coupled to the socket housing,
• at least two slots positioned within the interior of the socket housing and extending at least partially along the height of the socket housing, and
• at least two alignment wings extending from the base of the socket platform, wherein each alignment wing is sized to fit within a corresponding one of the slots so that the alignment wings and the corresponding slots limit the linear range of motion of the socket platform.

A lamp adjustment assembly for a light fixture, comprising:

• a socket platform comprising a base and a neck, wherein the base has a socket mounted thereto and wherein the interior of the neck includes a cam follower;
• a cam having at least one spiral groove, wherein a first portion of the cam fits at least partially within the interior of the neck of the socket platform;
• an adjustment knob coupled to a second portion of the cam and rotatably coupled to a socket housing, wherein the socket housing at least partially encloses the lamp adjustment assembly;
• at least two slots positioned within an interior of the socket housing;
• at least two alignment wings extending from the base of the socket platform, each alignment wing sized to fit within a corresponding one of the slots;
• and
• wherein the alignment wings and the corresponding slots prevent the socket platform from rotating within the socket housing as the cam and adjustment knob are rotated.
