1. A lighting fixture, comprising:
an elongated housing having a flat end, an angled end, and an inner surface having a pair of channels disposed on diametrically
opposite sides of the housing and extending along a length of the housing, each pair of channels having a pair of opposing
depressions defining a channel gap at each of the angled end and the flat end;
a lamp assembly comprising:
a retaining ring having a pair of circular pivots extending therefrom, each pivot having a circumferential edge that fits
within the channel gap so that the lamp assembly is retained at a set angle and height within the housing by frictional resistance
between the circumferential edge of the pivot and the channel gap, wherein application of a rotational force to the retaining
ring causes the lamp assembly to pivot within the channel gap and wherein application of a vertical force causes the pivots
to slide within the channel gap;
a lamp housing releasably attached to the retaining ring, the lamp housing having a conductor means for connection to a voltage
source; and
a lamp retained within the lamp housing.
