A lighting apparatus includes an elongated housing defining an elongated chamber. The housing is mountable at first end to a structure. A fixture includes a receptacle that receives a light bulb. The fixture is configured to be slidably inserted into the housing from inside the structure and positioned within the elongated chamber of the elongated housing outside the structure. An alternate lighting apparatus includes a mounting apparatus having a housing including a receptacle for receiving a light bulb and a body portion connected to the housing. The mounting apparatus is positionable in a first position inside the structure and configured for receiving a light bulb inside the structure, and the mounting apparatus is positionable in a second position wherein the mounting apparatus with the housing and the received light bulb is slidably inserted through a bore in a wall of the structure and the housing is positioned outside the structure.

An adapter for changing LED light bulbs can have a threaded fitting for attachment to the pole of an existing light-bulb changer. The adapter has a body, preferably formed of a rigid material such as a rigid plastic. The body has multiple teeth to engage the spaces between the cooling fins of the LED light bulb. The light bulb can then be unscrewed from its socket and lowered using the pole and the adapter. A new light bulb can be placed on the teeth, raised, and screwed into the socket.

Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a multi-functional streetlight. In accordance with one aspect, the multi-functional streetlight includes a hexagonal shaped support structure, wherein the hexagonal shaped support structure includes an arm segment and wherein the arm segment includes a luminaire on an under side of the arm segment; and a base flange configured to couple the hexagonal shaped support structure to the ground.

A centering guide is disclosed that includes a light bulb base coupling member defining an aperture, the aperture size and configured to selectively receive a light bulb base of a light bulb therethrough for selectively coupling the light bulb base coupling member to the light bulb base. A plurality of guide arms may be coupled to the light bulb base coupling member, each guide arm having a proximal end coupled to the light bulb base coupling member; a distal end opposite the proximal end; and a length extending between the proximal end and the distal end, the length extending radially outward from light bulb base coupling member.

A closure for a lighting fixture includes a cover having interior and exterior surfaces that defines at least a part of an enclosure of the lighting fixture. In certain aspects, the cover comprises mounts for mounting circuitry to the interior surface of the cover and at least one attachment feature for affixing the cover to a cabinet of the lighting fixture. A light source and driver circuitry are also affixed to the cover. Because the driver circuitry and the light source are both mounted to the same cover of the lighting fixture, the light source may be replaced with an alternate light source having different voltage and current specifications, for example, by replacement of the cover with another cover. In this manner, light sources having different operating characteristics and specifications may be replaced or interchanged with relative ease.

A method is provided for removing a light-emitting diode (LED) module from a luminaire that has a controller and a housing. The housing encloses an optical system that includes the LED module and other optical devices. The method includes electrically uncoupling an LED circuit board of the LED module from the controller. The method further includes mechanically uncoupling the LED module from the luminaire without removing other optical devices of the optical system from the housing.
