Abstract: A frame subassembly for use in a lighting assembly, the subassembly including a plate portion including a first plate portion and a second plate portion adjustably coupled to the first plate portion between a folded closed position and an expanded opened position. In some embodiments, the frame subassembly further includes first and second hinges for coupling the first and second plate portions together. In some embodiments, the first and second plate portions are biased away from each other towards the expanded opened position. In use, an installer may grip the plate portion into the folded closed position to decrease an overall size of the plate portion so that the plate portion can be inserted through an opening formed in a ceiling. Once inserted, the installer may release the plate portion causing the plate portion to expand to the expanded opened position.

Abstract: A lighting assembly is disclosed. The lighting assembly including a number of separate and distinct features to improve useable, installation ease, etc. In one embodiment, the lighting assembly includes a heat sink, a light source, and an adjustment module portion coupled to the heat sink. The adjustment module portion includes a pivot core having a primary optic for directing light from the light source through the adjustment module. The adjustment module portion also includes a collar spring mount having first and second brackets for slidably engaging the pivot core along a plurality of guide slots such that the pivot core moves horizontally with respect to the collar spring mount as the pivot core is tilted with respect to the collar spring mount. The plurality of guide slots may include first, second and third guide slots, each of which has a different shape.

Abstract: A lighting fixture having an adjustable collar for accommodating different ceiling thicknesses is provided. The lighting fixture preferably includes a light module, a plaster frame, first and second support arms extending from the plaster frame, a U-shaped support assembly, an adjustment assembly for coupling the support assembly to the first and second support arms, and the collar. The adjustment assembly enabling the support assembly and the adjustable collar to be selectively movable along an axis perpendicular to the plaster frame. The adjustment assembly being configured so that, in a first configuration, the support assembly along with the light module and the collar are movable along the axis, and in a second configuration, the support assembly along with the light module and the collar are fixed to the first and second support arms so that a bottom end of the collar extends beyond a bottom surface of the plaster frame.
