Abstract
A light fixture () comprises a base () and at least a first arm () having a first end () that couples to this base. A housing () then couples to the second end () of this first arm and can serve to house both a light source () (such that emanated light will tend to be directed towards a primary area of coverage) and an animate object detector () (such that the latter will be aimed towards, and will tend to be sensitive to, objects that move within the primary area of coverage). By one approach, this arm couples to the base and/or the housing in a manner that permits an end user to adjust a position of the housing with respect to the base without requiring any hand tools. The housing can comprise a heat sink () if desired.
