Abstract
A lighting device having small light sources on a movable support assembly. Light sources are integrated into the side edges of the device on an assembly that coincides with the housing shape, to provide a particularly narrow and low-profile arrangement. Lights sources may be arranged in an array on a common printed circuit board. Optic elements are included to redirect and focus light. The light support assembly may be pivotable, translatable and tiltable to allow for adjustment to enhance lighting uniformity in multiple directions. Accordingly, a single device can accommodate a broad range of lighting needs, the undesirable “bug eye” appearance is avoided in many situations, and even when the support assembly is tilted/rotated, the mounting of the lighting arrays on the sides, and the turning and/or tilting of the lighting arrays predominantly within the envelope of the housing contributes to avoidance of an undesirable “bug eye” appearance.
