Abstract

A recessed light includes an enclosure with a cavity, an opening into the cavity and a mounting surface about the periphery of the opening. An intermediate light assembly including a peripheral frame and a lamp is mounted on the mounting surface of the enclosure. The peripheral frame includes a main frame and extension rings which can be stacked to extend the lamp away from the cavity. The lamp has an array of light emitting diodes on a substrate which is affixed to and thermally integral with a pivotally mounted reflector mounted to the peripheral frame. The reflector provides cooling fins for the array of light emitting diodes. A lens associated with a lens frame is attached to the intermediate lamp assembly.
