A light fixture comprising a rotatable housing, a mounting yoke and a mounting fixture for securing the housing directly to the top of a hollow post to permit the housing to be directed straight down or at a tilt angle to either side. The housing includes integral or insertable axle portions that protrude from either side of the housing. The top of each side of the yoke includes a support casting with an opening for receiving the respective protruding axle portions of the housing. Matching indicia on the end of at least one of the axle portions and the receiving casting hub provide degree of tilt information. Wiring from the power source coming out of the top of the post progresses through one or more appropriate channels in the yoke, through the appropriate casting and through an accommodated protruding axle portion. The yoke is preferably comprised of at least one tubular member. The mounting fixture in the form of matching top and base plates mounts the center brace portion of the yoke to the top of the post.

Abstract:
The shutter drive mechanism and floodlight has an outer housing which surrounds the light fixture and also which protects the light fixture and a drive mechanism from the elements. Extending outward from the housing is a drive veil which supports the drive mechanism for raising and lowering a rigid shutter which covers the lens of the light fixture so that the light may be doused readily without turning off the lamp. The planar shutter moves horizontally or vertically within rails through a first and second slide, the shutter moveable by a drive arm which is affixed to a runner retained within a runner guide and driven by a screw drive. The shutter is actuatable between an opened and closed position such that the light fixture is adequately doused while the lamp remains on.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a garage light assembly having a housing with a lamp mounting surface wherein a main high intensity discharge lamp and an auxiliary circular high output fluorescent lamp are mounted. The auxiliary lamp is mounted centrally within the assembly and above the light emitting portion of the high intensity discharge lamp so that the light pattern emitted from the auxiliary lamp is symmetrical and the auxiliary lamp does not shadow the light emitted from the high intensity discharge lamp.
