Abstract
Light fixtures including a housing that acts as a heat sink, and additionally includes structure to selectively position the light fixture at different orientations. In certain embodiments, the light fixture includes a housing, a light source, and a bracket. Set of fins may protrude from the housing, and flanges may protrude from the bracket. In use, the flanges engage ribs on the housing to support the lighting fixture. By altering the engagement between the flanges and ribs, the light fixture may be re-positioned within the bracket in a number of different orientations, creating a number of light distribution options for the light fixture.
