Abstract:
A recessed lighting fixture for installation in an inclined ceiling has an enclosure and a lighting assembly pivotal relative to the enclosure through a first and second range of relative angles such that an optical axis can be aligned vertically for the first and second ranges. First and second trim element are adapted for use with the first and second ranges of inclinations. The first and second trim elements have optical element aligned at different angles, and a relative angle between the optical elements and the reflector plane is less than or equal to 10 degrees. An angle indicator provides a proper relative angle of the lighting assembly and a trim indicator provides an indication of a proper trim element.

Claim (Index 1):
A recessed lighting fixture for installation in an inclined ceiling having an inclined ceiling panel with an opening and a support structure supporting the ceiling panel, the recessed lighting figure comprising:\n an enclosure having a bottom wall with an aperture, and the enclosure being adapted to mount to the support structure with the bottom wall parallel to and closely adjacent an interior surface of the inclined ceiling panel, and with the aperture disposed above the opening in the inclined ceiling panel; a lighting assembly disposed within the enclosure and including a lighting element operable to emit light and a reflector disposed around the lighting element, the lighting assembly being adapted to emit light through the aperture, and the lighting assembly having an optical axis; the reflector having a first end disposed adjacent the lighting element and having a second end forming a reflector opening and having a circumferential edge defining a reflector plane perpendicular to the optical axis; the lighting assembly being pivotal relative to the enclosure about a pivot axis which is horizontal when the enclosure is mounted to the support structure, the lighting assembly being pivotal relative to the enclosure about the pivot axis through a first range of relative angles of at least 15 degrees, from a first relative angle to a second relative angle greater than the first relative angle such that the optical axis can be aligned vertically for a first range of inclinations of the inclined ceiling panel comprising the first range of relative angles; a first trim element adapted for use with the first range of inclinations of the inclined ceiling panel, the first trim element being configured to mount in the aperture from a room-facing side of the enclosure, the first trim element having a lower end with an opening and a radially-outwardly extending circumferential flange disposed around the opening where the circumferential flange is adapted to contact a room-facing surface of the ceiling panel around the opening, and the circumferential flange defining a first plane parallel to the room-facing surface of the inclined ceiling panel; the first trim element having an upper end with a light transmitting optical element mounted thereon and disposed adjacent the lighting assembly, and the optical element being inclined relative to the first plane about an axis parallel to the pivot axis at a first angle within the first range of relative angles; and when the lighting assembly is in the first and second relative angles, a relative angle between the optical element and the reflector plane being less than or equal to 10 degrees.
