Abstract: An overhead light swivel bracket assembly mounts a light fixture spaced apart a fixed distance and position from a surface to be illuminated such as a billboard. A long bracket has a distal end for the light fixture, and a vertical capped sleeve at the proximal end for rotation on a fixed vertical cylinder, enabling the light fixture to rotate pivotally about the vertical cylinder in a horizontal arc between an extended position in which the light fixture is at the fixed distance and position to illuminate the surface from above and a retracted position in which the light fixture is adjacent a worker positioned behind the surface for servicing by the worker.

Abstract: An illumination assembly allows quick and easy access to light fixtures that are mounted extended far enough away from a catwalk of a lighted sign such as a billboard as to be inaccessible to a worker on the catwalk. An elongate tubular member is pivotally mounted on a support affixed to the catwalk. A light fixture is mounted on the distal end of the member. A control mechanism enables the member to be fixed in extended position for use in illuminating the sign. The control mechanism enables the member to pivot to a position where the light fixture is adjacent the catwalk, for changing the light bulb or other maintenance. The control mechanism is accessible from the catwalk.
