An indirector light fixture in combination with a leveling device which is utilized to position the light fixture at least one of a plurality of preselected angles. A method is also described for positioning the fixture at the at least one of the preselected angles.

Indirector light fixture

An indirector light fixture is described wherein the fixture is comprised of a reflector housing and a ballast housing connected together by a support arm. The reflector housing may be positioned relative to the ballast housing by movement of the support arm and maintained therein by a ratchet and pawl mechanism or other rotational restriction device. The ballast housing and ballast electronics are connected to the lamp within the reflector housing by ballast feed wires which are maintained internal of the entire fixture thereby preventing the wires from becoming entangled during installation or after installation. Additional structure is provided to further allow adjustment of the head angle relative to the ballast housing.

A wall mount luminaire and thermal isolation system having a wall mount and fixture mount operably connected to form a splice chamber. Fixture mount plate may be opened relative to the wall mount plate and wherein the wall mount plate supports the weight of a reflector housing attached to the fixture plate mount. A ballast housing may alternatively be attached to the fixture mount plate between the fixture mount plate and the reflector housing. In this configuration heat from the reflector housing is thermally isolated from the ballast housing containing the electronic components.
