Adjustable lighting fixture for decorative light
A lighting fixture includes, a lower portion including a plurality of lighting elements and an upper portion. An exterior protective casing is configured to house the upper and lower portions to protect them from an outside environment. An accordion gasket connects the lower portion and the upper portion. The accordion gasket is configured to maintain a seal between the lower portion and the upper portion when the lower portion is tilted with respect to the upper portion and when the lower portion and the upper portion are rotated with respect to the exterior protective casing.
1. A lighting fixture comprising:
a lower portion including a plurality of lighting elements;
an upper portion;
an exterior protective casing configured to house the upper and lower portions to protect them from an outside environment;
an accordion gasket connecting the lower portion and the upper portion, the accordion gasket configured to maintain a seal between the lower portion and the upper portion when the lower portion is tilted with respect to the upper portion; and the lower portion and the upper portion are rotated with respect to the exterior protective casing; and
a locking bracket configured to be securely coupled to the lower portion on a first end of the locking bracket and slidably coupled to a lip of the upper housing on a second end of the locking bracket to allow for tilting of the lower portion with respect to the upper portion, the first end being further configured to be selectively secured to the upper housing to prevent tilting of the lower portion with respect to the upper portion.
2. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein:
the lower portion includes a heat sink;
the upper portion includes an upper housing; and
the exterior protective casing defines an air gap around the heat sink to promote air flow around the heat sink.
3. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , further comprising an air deflector connected to the upper housing and encasing the heat sink, the air deflector defining an air gap around the heat sink to facilitate air flow around the heat sink.
4. The lighting fixture of claim 3 , further comprising two mounting brackets configured to be rotatably coupled to the heat sink on a first end of each locking bracket via pivot frames, the mounting brackets coupling the upper portion to the lower portion to prevent rotation between the upper portion and the lower portion.
5. The lighting fixture of claim 4 , wherein the lower portion is configured to tilt, with respect to the upper portion, between −3 degrees and 15 degrees.
6. The lighting fixture of claim 5 , wherein the upper portion and lower portion are configured to rotate, with respect to the exterior protective casing, between −180 and 180 degrees.
7. The lighting fixture of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of lighting elements are LED lights arranged on an LED board.
8. The lighting fixture of claim 7 , wherein the LED board is mounted directly on the heat sink.
9. The lighting fixture of claim 8 , further comprising a power box connected to the LED board.
10. The lighting fixture of claim 9 , wherein the lower portion includes a sealing ring, a portion of the gasket and the LED board being positioned between the sealing ring and the heat sink, the sealing ring being fastened to the heat sink to hold the portion of the gasket against the heat sink.
11. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein the upper portion includes a lens.
12. The lighting fixture of claim 2 , further comprising at least one fastener each configured to selectively engage a lip of the exterior protective casing on a first end and the upper housing on a second end to prevent rotation of the first and second portions with respect to the protective casing.
