Abstract
A lighting fixture includes a channel member defining a cavity, and a pair of lamp socket-carrying brackets mounted to the channel member for rotation between a stored position in which the lamp socket is disposed within the cavity, and an operative position wherein the lamp socket projects from the cavity. The channel member includes a pair of side walls, and each bracket includes a pair of side walls situated opposite respective ones of the channel side walls. Each channel side wall includes a semi-circular leg; and each bracket side wall includes a semi-circular pocket spaced from a peripheral edge of the bracket side wall. Each leg includes a nipple engaging a recess of the bracket side wall to define a pivot axis enabling the semi-circular pocket to rotate relative to the semi-circular leg between the stored and operative positions.
