Abstract
A lighting fixture having a simplified structure is provided with such benefits as a junction box attached directly to the housing, a full reflector for improved optics, and support means for installation in different ceiling structures. A bulb or lamp is disposed in a socket which is attached to the reflector such that the lamp is disposed entirely within the volume of the reflector. Additionally, the reflector is positionable within the housing, whereby inexact or inaccurate mounting of the housing to the ceiling structure can be corrected by changing the orientation of the reflector. Accordingly, lighting of the environment is not compromised by imprecise mounting of the housing and can be redressed by positioning the reflector as required. The invention also allows the fixture to be moved easily along the support bars connected to the joists even after the bars have been connected.
