Abstract
A light fixture has a mount to attach the light fixture to a support structure. A yoke is connected to the mount and is operable to rotate relative to the mount at least 360 degrees about a rotation axis passing through an illumination aperture of the light fixture. A lamp is connected to the yoke and is operable to rotate with the yoke about the rotation axis. A proximal end of a junction box is connected to the yoke and is operable to rotate at least 360 degrees relative to the yoke about the rotation axis, to maintain a rotational orientation of the junction box relative to the mount during rotation of the yoke and lamp. The junction box is operable to pivot relative to the yoke, about a pivot axis perpendicular to the rotation axis and to contact the support structure on a distal free end portion.
