Some of the disclosed fixtures include a base defining a plane and an elongated arm having a first end that is pivotally coupled to the base via a hinge such that the arm is movable relative to the base between stowed and deployed positions in which the first end of the arm is substantially parallel and substantially perpendicular, respectively, to the plane, and a second end that is couplable to a light source. In some fixtures, movement of the arm to the deployed position moves or enables movement of the hinge to an engaged position in which the hinge prevents movement of the arm from the deployed position toward the stowed position via contacting hinge bearing surfaces. In some fixtures, only when the arm is in the deployed position, the hinge is in or movable to an engaged position that prevents movement of the arm from the deployed position.

A recessed lighting fixture comprises a generally annular body having a central cavity in the form of a partially spherical socket. There is a lighting support member having a partially spherical exterior portion which is closely fitted within the partially spherical socket of the annular body. The lighting support member is pivotable relative to the annular body, but air flow between the partially spherical socket of the annular body and the partially spherical exterior portion of the lighting support member is substantially restricted. There may be a light source mounted to the lighting support member adjacent a bottom thereof. The light source may be a light-emitting diode.

A lighting fixture includes a light source holder, a pair of position adjustors, and an outer shell. The light source holder holds a light source. The position adjustors are arranged to face each other and interpose the light source holder between themselves and supports the light source holder to allow the light source holder to rotate around a first virtual axis defined as a virtual axis passing through the position adjustors. The outer shell has an opening in which the light source holder and the position adjustors are arranged and supports the position adjustors to allow the position adjustors to rotate around a second virtual axis defined by a normal to an opening plane of the opening. The first virtual axis intersects with the second virtual axis and is located either within or behind the opening plane.

A combined handle and light source for a cooking appliance such as a grill which is provided with a rotation joint such that the handle can be placed in a stored position to allow for articulation of a lid which covers a cooking surface and such that the handle can be moved relative to the joint to put the handle in a use position to allow the light to illuminate the cooking surface when the lid is in an open position.

A lighting device for a vehicle includes a light emission units, a control device, and an operating unit to be operated when the vehicle is started. The control device increases an emission intensity of light emission units in a first period. The first period includes a second period including a plurality of time intervals. The control device changes the emission intensity of light emission units in each time interval of the second period so that two light emission units in at least one pair of light emission units adjacent to each other differ from each other in light emission parameters. The light emission parameters include at least two parameters out of a magnitude of changing amount in emission intensity in the time interval, a direction indicating whether the emission intensity is increasing or decreasing in the time interval, and the emission intensity at an end point of the time interval.

A rotation center decoupling type aiming lamp applied to a vehicle includes an aiming device in which an aiming axis spaced apart from an aiming point reference line of an aiming point axis at a distance of an aiming adjustment height is operated as a rotation center of the reflector, and an aiming angle is changed through an aiming point axis to which the reflector is attached by a reflector bracket, such that the rotation center of the reflector adjusting a light radiation direction may be formed at a position above or ahead of the aiming point reference line, thereby reducing an occupation space of the aiming device and securing stability of the aiming driving, and particularly, a sufficient rear shock absorption space may also be secured in the aiming lamp, thereby securing structural robustness while satisfying low-speed collision regulations.
