First Claim
1. A luminaire having a lamp and a reflector that is rotational about an axis of rotation, comprising:
- a) a luminaire housing with two longitudinal ends;
b) a lamp with a longitudinal axis and a first and second end;
c) a reflector for a fluorescent lamp;
the reflector being received in the luminaire and having two longitudinal ends;
d) an interior of a longitudinal end of a luminaire housing and a longitudinal end of the reflector having first and second arrangements, respectively, or second and first arrangements, respectively;
i) the first arrangement comprising;
(1) a circular arc-shaped recess defined between a pair of spaced arc-shaped walls;
the recess opening axially with respect to said longitudinal axis; and
(2) a projection;
ii) the second arrangement comprising;
(1) first and second parts protruding axially with respect to said longitudinal axis; and
(2) the first part being received in an associated recess of the first arrangement; and
(3) the second part having a circular arced, toothed surface concentric with said associated recess;
e) the recess being for guiding rotation of the reflector after receiving the first part; and
the associated projection engaging a respective one of a plurality of cavities of the toothed surface to secure the reflector in a respective one of a plurality of rotational positions.

Abstract
Luminaire with reflector of adjustable rotation comprises a luminaire housing, a reflector received in the housing and an assembled component at ends of reflector. Each longitudinal end of the luminaire has a recess and a projection on internal surface, the recess defining a circular arc, with center as longitudinal axis of a fluorescent lamp. Each assembled component has first and second axially outwardly protruding parts, cooperating with an associated recess and projection, respectively. The first part is received in the recess for guiding rotation of the reflector. The second part has a circular arced, toothed surface concentric with its associated recess, and cooperating with an associated projection that engages a respective one of a plurality of cavities of the toothed surface, to secure the reflector in a respective one of a plurality of rotational positions. Locations of recess and projection can be interchanged with locations of first and second parts.
