ABSTRACT:
A self-contained fluorescent lamp fixture for installation in association with both flush and recess mounted electrical outlet boxes which permits selective adjustment of the fluorescent lamp fixture through a substantial arc and which readily facilitates retention of the fixture in the adjusted position. The fixture includes a body cover which is adapted to receive a conventional fluorescent tube as well as the other operative components. This cover includes a pair of opposed, generally centrally located arcuate slots and is mounted betwen upper and lower fixture collars by a pair of threaded fasteners. The fasteners pass between the collars through the arcuate slots whereby the cover may be selectively rotated in a plane normal to the axis of the fixture. A flat outlet box cover plate is mounted to the uppermost end of the upper collar by these same threaded members. The cover plate, in turn, includes means for conveniently mounting it to an outlet box for supporting the entire fixture. A generally flat, compressible member is received between one of the collars and the fixture body cover for placing a continuous biasing force against the cover when the collars are brought into a close spaced relationship with each other. This arrangement facilitates alignment of the fixture once it has been installed in operative association with an outlet box and the frictional force exerted by the compressible member acts to retain the fixture in the aligned position. A thin cover shield may be conveniently interposed between the cover plate and upper collar to aesthetically cover the outlet box opening in a wall or ceiling.
