Abstract
An apparatus for allowing pivotal movement between a reflector of a lighting fixture and a refractor which extends across an opening in the reflector is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a body portion, a leg portion attached to the body portion, and a retention portion attached to the body portion. The leg portion includes a pair of legs spaced apart from each other, which are closable against an inner surface of the reflector to secure the apparatus to the reflector. The retention portion includes a pair of retainers, each of which is closable around a bolt of the refractor to retain the bolt and allow pivotal movement of the refractor with respect to the reflector.
