Abstract
The invention relates to a hinge for pivotally mounting flood lamps. The hinge includes a first and second knuckle. The first knuckle has an internally threaded socket. The second knuckle includes a first part and a second part, and the parts are interlocked for simultaneous rotation. The first part further has a rotation resisting surface facing the first knuckle. The hinge further includes a pair of shroud members, which each have counterbored aperatures therethrough and are arrange on each side of the second knuckle. There is a pair of threaded hinge pins, one each passing through a shourd member and a part of the second knuckle and threadably received in the first knuckles threaded socket. Loosening the threaded hinge pins permits relative rotation of the knuckles while tightening of the threaded hinge pins fixer the angular orientation of the hinge. The counterbores of the shrouds make difficult uninvited (i.e. vandalism) tampering of the hinge.
