Abstract
A low voltage lighting assembly which comprises a lamp holder, a pair of rigid electrically conductive arms, each arm having a lower end that passes through opposingly disposed apertures in the lamp holder in a manner so as to maintain electrical contact with a lamp socket disposed within the lamp holder, while said lamp holder is pivotable about the axis of the lower arms, each arm having an upper end with means to permit independent movement of an arm along one of a pair of spaced apart elongate electrical conductors and to be fixed in place to form electrical contact therewith. The conductors have means to connect to a suitable source of electric current, at a voltage of no more than about 24V. By pivoting the lamp holder about the axis of the lower arm ends, and moving each of the upper arm ends along the conductors, a lamp mounted in the holder may be positioned transversely with respect to the axis lying through the lower ends and longitudinally with respect to the conductors.
