Abstract
In an embodiment, a luminaire may include a housing that includes a support panel, a rotation ring supported by the support panel where the rotation ring is infinitely adjustable with a range of adjustments with respect to the support panel, a rotation drive unit configured to rotate the rotation ring with respect to the support panel, an aiming frame supported by the rotation ring, a tray system pivotally mounted to the aiming frame and configured to receive the bulb, and a tray drive configured to rotate the tray system about the pivotal mounting, whereby, in operation the rotational and angular orientation of the bulb may be adjusted while the bulb is on.
Claims21
A system for controlling orientation of a bulb in a luminaire, comprising:
- a frame mounted in the luminaire, the frame configured to be rotated about a central axis in response to rotation of a first rotational element;
- a rotation drive of the first rotational element mounted to an orientation ring in the luminaire and including a pinion that engages a plurality of teeth included on a ring gear supported within the luminaire;
- and
- a tray pivotally mounted in the luminaire and holds the bulb, the tray rotates about the pivotally mounting in response to rotation of a second rotational element, wherein the first and second rotational elements are configured for simultaneous operation.
A system for supporting a bulb in a luminaire recessed in a surface;
- comprising:
- a frame supported by the luminaire, the frame translatable between an installed position and a bulb changing position;
- a rotation drive mounted to an orientation ring in the luminaire and including a pinion that engages a plurality of teeth included on a ring gear supported within the housing;
- and
- a tray including a retaining arm for retaining a bulb on the tray, wherein in operation, translation of the frame to the bulb changing position causes the entire tray to extend below the surface so as to be visible.
