  • Patent number: 10557622
    Abstract: A recessed light fixture and methods for manufacturing the same are disclosed. Embodiments include a support base and an adjusting bracket pivotally connected to the support base, the support base capable of pivoting between a first pivot position and a second pivot position to facilitate a user moving the adjusting bracket. When a lighting source is connected to the adjusting bracket, a user is able to move the lighting source and bracket aside to facilitate the user accessing the region behind the lighting source and bracket, which can include a power supply box and door. In at least one embodiment, a single-blade bracket extends perpendicularly from the support base while in the first pivot position and does not extend perpendicularly from the support base while in the second pivot position.

  • Publication number: 20100110698
    Abstract: A light housing for recessed installation in a ceiling plenum has a top, an apertured bottom, and side walls between the top and bottom. Housing support brackets may be attached at three alternate locations on the side walls for hanging the housing between joists in a ceiling plenum, such that the housing can be hung in any of three different orientations to fit available space in the ceiling plenum. A lamp socket in the housing is tiltable about two different axes through a first angular adjustment between a downlight position and a wallwash position and tiltable through a second angular adjustment between a downlight position and an adjusted position, such that a directional light source installed in the lamp socket may be aimed for downlight, wallwash or adjustable illumination after installation of the housing in a ceiling.
