1. A dimmable light circuit, comprising:

  • a housing;

    an arm fixture with at least one light source mounted thereto;

    a rotatable shaft coupled to the arm fixture that provides angular rotational movement of the arm fixture about the housing, the angular rotational movement being 360-degrees in either direction from any point along a path of rotation;

    an encoder connected to the rotatable shaft to generate and transmit data on the angular rotational movement of the rotatable shaft;

    an electrical control unit that receives and processes data from the encoder, and further regulates an electrical current flowing to the at least one light source based on an angular position of the rotatable shaft, thereby controlling an intensity of the at least one light source; and

    a slip ring attached to the rotatable shaft that transmits electric power from the electrical control unit to the at least one light source.
