Abstract
A solid state lighting device with an extensible mounting base is provided. The solid state lighting device includes a housing and a moveable extension positioned in the housing. The moveable extension is aligned along a longitudinal axis of the solid state lighting device, and includes a closed position adjacent the housing and an open position remote from the housing. A base is affixed to an external end of the moveable extension. The base connects to a corresponding socket in order to provide electrical power to the solid state lighting device. The housing also includes a mechanical actuator therein. The mechanical actuator has a first end, affixed to the moveable extension, and a second end, affixed to the housing. The mechanical actuator allows the moveable extension to change from the closed position to the open position and vice versa.
