Patent ID: 7832901

Claim:
A beam adjustment mechanism for a light fixture, comprising: a frame having a plurality of sides; a plurality of lighting units; a central connecting member at least partially surrounded by a plurality of peripheral lighting units, wherein the central connecting member is hingedly connected to each of the peripheral lighting units, each hinged connection comprising a spring biased to cause each of the peripheral lighting units to tilt such that their light is directed in a first direction outward from the central connecting member thus providing a diverging light beam pattern; and an adjustment shaft moveably engaged with said frame and coupled to the central connecting member, the adjustment shaft configured to cause the frame to move in a second direction toward the plurality of lighting units and a third direction away from the plurality of lighting units, wherein movement of the frame in the second direction causes the frame to push each of the peripheral lighting units such that each of the peripheral lighting units pivots contrary to the bias of each respective spring and directs light in a fourth direction toward the central connecting member thus providing a converging light beam pattern, and wherein movement of the frame in the third direction removes the force from the plurality of lighting units, allowing each of the plurality of lighting units to direct their light in the first direction.
