Method and apparatus for positioning a light in a reflector

A lighting apparatus, comprising:

• Means for reflecting light, comprising:
• a side wall;
• a reflector surface extending from the side wall;
• a lighting device;
• means for supporting the lighting device coupled to the side wall, the means for supporting the lighting device including a support arm engaging means comprising a first channel and a fastener engaging means comprising a second channel;
• a securing means comprising a bracket for securing the lighting device to the means for supporting the lighting device, the bracket coupled to the lighting device and the means for supporting the lighting device, wherein the means for supporting the lighting device positions the lighting device adjacent to the reflector surface;
• at least one support arm extending from the bracket, wherein the support arm engages the support arm engaging means;
• and
• a fastening means for fastening the securing means to the supporting means in the first channel, wherein the fastening means engages the fastener engaging means in the second channel.

A method for positioning a light in a reflector, comprising:

• providing a reflector member comprising a side wall and a reflector surface extending from the side wall;
• coupling a lighting device support member to the side wall, the lighting device support member defining at least one support arm positioning channel and one fastener channel;
• positioning the lighting device adjacent the reflector surface by coupling to lighting device to a lighting device bracket that is coupled to the lighting device support member, the lighting device bracket having a support arm, the support arm engaging the at least one support arm positioning channel;
• and
• fastening the lighting device to the lighting device support member by securing a fastener to the lighting device bracket and the fastener channel,
• whereby light from the lighting device will be reflected from the reflector surface upon activation of the lighting device.

A lighting apparatus, comprising:

• a reflector member, comprising:
• a side wail defining a mountain aperture and comprising a first side and a second side facing the opposite direction of the first side;
• a reflector surface extending from the first side of the side wall;
• a lighting device support member coupled to and extending from the side wall through the mounting aperture and defining at least one support channel and a fastener channel;
• a first bracket secured to the second side of the side wall and coupled to the lighting device support member, wherein the first bracket includes a support arm positioned in the at least one support channel;
• a lighting device coupled to the lighting device support member and positioned by the lighting device support member adjacent the reflector surface, wherein the lighting device support member comprises dimensions such that the lighting device is positioned at approximately the center of the reflector member;
• a second bracket secured to the lighting device and coupled to the lighting device support member, wherein the second bracket includes a support arm positioned in the at least one support channel;
• and
• a fastener fastened to the first bracket, the second bracket, and the lighting device support member, the fastener engaging the fastener channel.
