Patent number: 11725788Abstract: Implementations are described herein for an adjustable recessed lighting apparatus (100) with a rotation ring (110). In various embodiments, a base (101) may be mounted to a surface and includes a light passage that generally directs light in a first direction (FD). The rotation ring (110) may be rotatably mounted to the base (101) such that the rotation ring (110) is rotatable about the light passage. At least one light source (140) may be mounted within the apparatus (100) to emit light through the light passage in a second direction (SD). A first drive (112) and a second drive (114) may be fixedly secured to the rotation ring (110). Accordingly, when torque is applied to the first drive (112), the rotation ring (110) may rotate relative to the base (101) about the light passage.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2020Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: SIGNIFY HOLDING B.V.Inventor: Mark Owen Jones
