a stem having a first end attached to the mount and extending in a first direction away from the mount with respect to the mounting surface to a second end;
a pull-down mechanism having a first portion connected to the stem or a receiver and a second portion moving with respect to the first portion between a stowed position and a deployed position;
at least one arm having a first end attached to the stem and extending in a second direction away from the stem with respect to the mounting surface to a second end, the second direction at an angle with respect to the first direction;
a socket disposed on the second end of the at least one arm for receiving a light emitter; and
a power receptacle and/or a communication receptacle disposed on the second end of the stem in a location spaced away from the socket with respect to the mounting surface by a distance that extends between the first and second ends of the at least one arm, wherein the power receptacle and/or the communication receptacle defines at least one recess comprising an electrical contact for establishing electrical continuity between the power receptacle and/or the communication receptacle and a device that is external to the light fixture,wherein the pull-down mechanism conceals the power receptacle and/or the communication receptacle while in the stowed position and allows access to the power receptacle and/or the communication receptacle while in the deployed position.
