CA 2292960

An in-ground lighting apparatus (10) has an enclosure for placement below the surface of the earth and a lamp is mounted for adjustably positioning in the housing. In the improvement, the lamp base (43) and lamp are supported by two pivot-mounted brackets. The brackets are spaced from the lamp rim (45) and provide lamp-grasping clearance between them for easy re-lumping. And the brackets permit the lamp to be adjusted to light anywhere within a cone-shaped 360° envelope. The lamp is supported solely by its base (43). In a particular embodiment configured for use with HID lamps, the lamp and ballast assembly are constructed as an "integrated" unit which is easily lifted from the enclosure for service.

L'invention concerne un appareil d'éclairage souterrain (10), constitué d'une enveloppe destinée à être placée en dessous de la surface du sol, et d'une lampe montée de manière à être ajustée à l'intérieur d'un boîtier. L'amélioration consiste à faire reposer le culot (43) de la lampe, ainsi que la lampe elle-même, sur deux supports montés pivotants. Ces supports sont espacés du rebord (45) de la lampe, ménageant ainsi entre eux un espace de préhension destiné à faciliter le remplacement de ladite lampe. Ces supports permettent également de régler la lampe de manière à orienter la lumière dans n'importe quelle direction à l'intérieur d'une ampoule en forme de cône de 360 DEG . La lampe repose uniquement sur son culot (43). Dans un mode de réalisation conçu pour une utilisation avec des lampes à décharge à grande intensité (HID), la lampe et l'ensemble ballast se présentent sous la forme d'une unité "intégrée", qu'il est facile de sortir de l'enveloppe en vue d'entretien.
