  • Publication number: 20090323339
    Abstract: A lighting assembly includes a housing, a light source at least partially disposed in the housing, a mounting stem including a joint portion secured to the housing, a fastening member axially fixed to and rotatable with respect to the mounting stem, and a mounting member configured to affix to an external surface. The mounting member includes an attachment portion configured to selectively attach to the fastening member. When the fastening member is attached to the attachment portion of the mounting member, the fastening member is tightened against the mounting stem to secure the mounting stem in a desired rotational position with respect to the mounting member.
