LED light fixture with adjustable mounting mechanism
A LED light fixture is disclosed with an adjustable mounting mechanism. The adjustable mounting mechanism includes lever features that are mechanically coupled to the adjustable flanges. The lever features ratchet or move downward to sandwich portions of a ceiling that surround a ceiling recess hole between the adjustable flanges and the lever features to secure the LED light fixture within the ceiling recess hole. The LED light fixture also includes a power source with a dimmer switch that allows DC power output from the power unit to be adjusted and dim light output emitted from the LED light fixture.
1. An LED light fixture comprising:
a) a housing for fitting into a ceiling recess with ceiling edges and for shielding an LED lightbulb; and
b) an adjustable mounting mechanism comprising:
i) flanges that are adjustable through lock and/or slide features to adjust a width or a separation between the flanges; and
ii) lever features that are mechanically coupled to the flanges through ratchet features or gear and/or spring release mechanisms that are configured to move downward or upward to lock the lever features into a desired position and to sandwich a portion of ceiling edges between portions of the lever features and portions of the flanges to thereby secure the LED light fixture within the ceiling recess.
2. The LED light fixture of claim 1 , further including a power unit with an LED driver circuit for power the LED light fixture.
3. The LED light fixture of claim 2 , wherein the power unit includes a switch for selecting a range of DC power outputs.
4. An LED light fixture comprising:
a) a housing for fitting into a ceiling recess and shielding an LED lightbulb;
b) a power unit on top of the housing for providing DC output power to the LED lightbulb from a power source, the power unit having a switch for selecting a range of DC power outputs; and
c) an adjustable mounting mechanism attached the housing that includes flanges with slide features to adjust a width or a separation between the flanges to fit near edges of the ceiling recess and lever features that are mechanically coupled to the flanges through ratchet features that move to sandwich portions of the ceiling edges between portions of the lever features and portions of the flanges to thereby secure the LED light fixture within the ceiling recess.
