Abstract
A lighting bracket assembly has a base, a lens holder, a retaining ring and a light housing. The base has a locking channel and a top edge radiused to define a first sphere. The lens holder is disposed within the locking channel and is adapted to provide upon installation of the assembly an external surface continuous with a surface defining an opening into which the assembly is installed. The retaining ring is fastened to the base and biases the light housing. The light housing comprises a back portion with an outer circumference and a plurality of curved wing members defining the contour of a second sphere concentric to the first sphere extending from the back portion along the outer circumference. The light housing is adapted to rotate through an angular range of up to 20 degrees upon application of force against the bias of the retaining ring.
