A light fixture includes an illumination aperture and a normal illumination axis passing through a center of the illumination aperture perpendicular to a plane of the illumination aperture. The light fixture further includes a service space having a cross-section corresponding to a shape of the illumination aperture and extending along the illumination axis between on a support structure facing side of the illumination aperture. The light fixture has a movable support movably coupled to the light fixture. The movable support includes a mounting portion. An electronic component is removably mounted to the mounting portion. The movable support is movable between an operation position and a service position. When the movable support is in the service position, the mounting portion and electronic component are closer to the illumination axis than when in the operation position, and are preferably located wholly or partially within service space.

Light fixture with movable support for a removable electronic component

A modular lighting system has first, second and third lighting fixtures adapted for end-to-end electrical interconnection. The lighting fixtures are mounted to a support structure in a closely abutting relationship with the longitudinal axes thereof in alignment. First and second electrical inter-connector are removably connected to the first and second lighting fixtures and the second and third lighting fixtures, respectively. The first and second electrical inter-connectors are connectable and disconnectable from a top of the lighting fixtures without dismounting the lighting fixtures, and the second lighting fixture intermediate the other two lighting fixtures being dismountable from the support structure without dismounting the other two lighting fixture by removing the first and second electrical inter-connectors from the top of the lighting fixtures.

Modular lighting system and method

A recessed light fixture has vertical tilt and horizontal rotation adjustments recessed radially outwardly from a trim aperture defining ring for a cleaner aspect of the lamp aperture. A lamp holder is reachable through the trim aperture for manually returning the lamp holder from a tilted position to a vertical position and is releasable downward from the fixture for relamping in response to manual pulling force. A mechanical memory returns the lamp holder to the initial tilted position upon reinsertion of the lamp holder and release of the manual pulling force. The lamp fixture can be miniaturized to a size of about 2.5 inches in diameter and sized to fit in a ceiling cutout of about 3.5 inches in diameter.
