20130271977 | ADJUSTABLE, MODULAR LIGHTING FIXTURE - Implementations of the present invention relate to a rotatable and/or slidable lighting module. The lighting module can have a lighting fixture assembly that is optionally capable of rotating with respect to a support base to allow the lighting fixture assembly to project light on a desired surface or area. The lighting fixture assembly can also slide or move relative to the support base to allow the position of the lighting fixture to be selectively varied. | 2013-10-17 |
