ABSTRACT:
An adjustable elongated luminaire or elongated luminaire system, and a respective adjustable mount or mounting system therefor, that further minimizes dark spots in the lighting pattern, while allowing easy installation and adjustment, and providing a more effective braking mechanism, as compared to previously known systems, are provided. In a preferred embodiment, each luminaire has a hole at one end and a projecting stud at the other end. A mounting bracket for each end has a corresponding hole or stud. Where two adjacent luminaires meet in a luminaire system, the mounting bracket has a hole, and the stud of one luminaire extends through the hole in that mounting bracket as well as the hole in the adjacent luminaire. Brake mechanisms to lock one or more luminaires rotationally, and alignment mechanisms to lock multiple luminaires in a system into common alignment, can also be used.
