Abstract:
1. A rotatable reflector support system for a fluorescent lamp luminary, wherein the luminary includes an elongated luminary body for concealing electrical supply wires; the luminary body having first and second longitudinal ends along an axis; the rotatable reflector support system comprising: a) an elongated reflector having first and second longitudinal ends; the reflector having first and second arch-shaped fittings proximate to the first and second reflector longitudinal ends, respectively; and b) first and second bases mounted on respective surfaces of the luminaire body, wherein said respective surfaces are substantially aligned with said axis and are proximate to the first and second ends of the body, respectively; wherein a side of each base faces the lamp, when the lamp is mounted on the luminary, and is shaped to engage a plurality of serial portions of an associated arch-shaped fitting of the reflector in a manner allowing serial portions of the fitting, when manipulated, to slide along an arch-shaped path transverse to said axis and to hold the fitting in place when the fitting is not manipulated; and c) each base and associated arch-shaped fitting being shaped and oriented such that the foregoing arch-shaped fitting is initially spaced apart from the foregoing base, and then is overlaid onto the foregoing base, and engaged with the forgoing base, in a direction transverse to said axis.
