  • Patent number: 6666570
    Abstract: An adjustable mounting system and a mounting base for mounting lights at adjustable angles in order to direct the light at the intended target and compensate for changes in the center of gravity of the system as light accessories are added, removed or the light fixture itself is adjusted. The system comprises a mounting base, which has first and second pedestals and a cylindrical crosspiece disposed between the pedestals, a yoke which may be pivotably engaged to a light, and a releasable clamp fixed to the yoke which is pivotably engageable to the crosspiece of the mounting base. The mounting system thus has two pivotable engagement points, both of which may be adjusted independently in mounting a light to the base.
