Abstract
A lighting apparatus has an at least partially optically transmissive enclosure and a light source located in the enclosure that is operable to emit light when energized through an electrical path. A connector is secured to the base and is configured to receive a control module for providing control information to the LED light source. The control module is rotatably mounted relative to the enclosure. The control module may comprise a sensor that turns the light source off and on, changes the color of the light source or dims the light source upon detection of the stimulus. The enclosure has a bottom member and a mounting portion secured to the bottom support where the connector is located between the mounting portion and the bottom support.
