Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A lamp module includes a rotatable base, a mount, a light emitter, and an optic. The base includes a plate and a projection extending from the plate. The mount is rotatably connected to the projection. The light emitter is connected to the mount. The optic is positioned over the light emitter. The light module can be used with a housing to form a luminaire.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed: 1. A lamp module for a light fixture comprising: a rotatable base having a plate and a projection extending from the plate; a mount rotatably connected to the projection; a light emitter connected to the mount, wherein the mount is positioned between the light emitter and the projection; and an optic positioned over the light emitter, and wherein rotation of the base or rotation of the mount is configured to adjust a directional output of light from the light emitter. 2. The lamp module of claim 1 , wherein the base is rotatable 360 degrees about a first axis. 3. The lamp module of claim 2 , wherein the mount is rotatable between approximately 0 and approximately 75 degrees about a second axis different from the first axis. 4. The lamp module of claim 1 , wherein the base and the mount are manually rotatable. 5. The lamp module of claim 1 , wherein the projection includes a concave bearing surface and the mount includes a convex journal surface. 6. The lamp module of claim 5 , wherein the projection includes a set of grooves and the journal surface includes a tooth selectively engaging the grooves. 7. The lamp module of claim 5 , wherein a slot extends through the journal for receiving a fastener to connect the mount to the projection. 8. The lamp module of claim 1 , wherein the base includes a cam lever selectively locking the rotation of the base. 9. The lamp module of claim 1 , wherein the mount includes a heat fin. 10. The lamp module of claim 1 , wherein the light emitter includes a circuit board and one or more LEDs connected to the circuit board. 11. A lamp module for a light fixture comprising: a rotatable base having a projection; a cam lever selectively locking the rotation of the base; a mount rotatably connected to the projection; a circuit board received on the mount and having an LED; and an optic having a light directing element connected to the mount and positioned over the LED wherein rotation of the base or rotation of the mount is configured to adjust a directional output of light from the light emitter. 12. The lamp module of claim 11 , wherein the optic includes a flood light optic releasably connected to the mount. 13. The lamp module of claim 12 , wherein the optic includes a spot light optic releasably connected to the mount. 14. The lamp module of claim 11 , wherein the optic includes a clip connecting the optic to the mount. 15. The lamp module of claim 11 , wherein a gasket is positioned between the optic and the circuit board. 16. The lamp module of claim 11 , wherein a shielding cover is positioned over the optic. 17. The light fixture of claim 11 , wherein the cam lever includes a cam arm and a stop. 18. The lamp module of claim 11 , wherein the projection includes a concave bearing surface and the mount includes a convex journal surface. 19. The lamp module of claim 18 , wherein the projection includes a set of grooves and the journal surface includes a tooth selectively engaging the grooves. 20. The lamp module of claim 18 , wherein a slot extends through the journal for receiving a fastener to connect the mount to the projection.
