ABSTRACT:
A fluorescent wall wash luminaire has a housing with an opening for light generated by a fluorescent lamp to exit the housing. A portion of the housing forms an inclined base, and a socket pan holding a lamp socket for the fluorescent lamp is slidably mounted on the inclined base. The position of the socket pan may be adjusted by sliding the socket pan along the inclined base between an upper position and a lower position. The socket pan is held in place by a latching plate mechanism formed by a latching plate and a latching spring. The latching mechanism holds the socket pan in the upper position, the lower position, and selected positions between the upper and lower position. The amount and distribution of light emitted by the luminaire varies depending on the position of the lamp along the inclined base, thereby providing the ability to adjust the distribution of emitted light.
