Abstract
A light fixture includes an illumination aperture and a normal illumination axis passing through a center of the illumination aperture perpendicular to a plane of the illumination aperture. The light fixture further includes a service space having a cross-section corresponding to a shape of the illumination aperture and extending along the illumination axis between on a support structure facing side of the illumination aperture. The light fixture has a movable support movably coupled to the light fixture. The movable support includes a mounting portion. An electronic component is removably mounted to the mounting portion. The movable support is movable between an operation position and a service position. When the movable support is in the service position, the mounting portion and electronic component are closer to the illumination axis than when in the operation position, and are preferably located wholly or partially within service space.
