Methods and apparatus for implementing a control apparatus for a light fixture for externally controlling the current to the LED light emitter of a landscape LED light fixture. In an exemplary embodiment a control apparatus for controlling current to an LED light source in a landscape lighting device includes an LED driver, a user control with a control setting indicator, and a driver housing including setting indicators.

LED related lighting methods and apparatus are described. Various features relate to water tight light fixtures. Some of the fixtures are spotlights while other fixture are intended for in ground use. The light fixtures in at least some embodiments include power control features. In spotlight embodiments beam angle and power or light output can be controlled without opening the light assembly or compromising the water tight seals which also protect against dirt. In ground embodiments support tilt angle setting which allow a user to set the light fixture to one or more tilt angles. Beam angle can also be changed in some embodiments as well as power control. Beam angle, power control and tilt angle adjustments are supported in some embodiments but need not be supported in all embodiments with some embodiments using one or more of the described features but not all features.

Apparatus and methods for lighting. The apparatus may include a beam-angle changing lens. The beam-angle changing lens may be movable from a first position in front of a slotted cylinder to a second position in front of the slotted cylinder. The slotted cylinder may be fixed with respect to translation along the central axis. The slotted cylinder may be configured to move the beam-angle changing lens from the first position to the second position when the slotted cylinder is rotated. The slotted cylinder may be configured to displace the support to move the lens to the positions. The apparatus may include a guide pin. Rotation of the slotted cylinder may displace the guide pin linearly in a direction parallel to the axis. Motion of the guide pin may move the lens. The apparatus may include a rotatable shaft. The rotatable shaft may be configured to rotate the slotted cylinder.

The present invention discloses an assembled lampshade. The assembled lampshade includes an upper support, a lower support and a cover body. The upper support and the lower support are respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends of the cover body. The upper support includes a first upper arc ring and a second upper arc ring, the first upper arc ring and the second upper arc ring are semicircular arc rings, the first upper arc ring and the second upper arc ring are connected through a first hinge, and the first upper arc ring and the second upper arc ring are able to be extended in a plane to cooperatively form a circle. The first upper arc ring is provided with a first support rod and a second support rod, and the first support rod and the second support rod are inclined downward.

LED related lighting methods and apparatus are described. Various features relate to water tight light fixtures. Some of the fixtures are spotlights while other fixture are intended for in ground use. The light fixtures in at least some embodiments include power control features. In spotlight embodiments beam angle and power or light output can be controlled without opening the light assembly or compromising the water tight seals which also protect against dirt. In ground embodiments support tilt angle setting which allow a user to set the light fixture to one or more tilt angles. Beam angle can also be changed in some embodiments as well as power control. Beam angle, power control and tilt angle adjustments are supported in some embodiments but need not be supported in all embodiments with some embodiments using one or more of the described features but not all features.
