The present disclosure sets forth a motion sensing outdoor security light with the flexibility of being mounted to either a wall structure or to an eave or ceiling structure. An adjustable spherical motion sensor housing may be provided with the rotationally adjustable outdoor security light, allowing easy adjustment of motion detection ranges under different mounting schemes without comprising the aesthetic design of the light. The adjustable spherical motion sensor housing may also provide an enlarged horizontal field of view for better performance. Sensitivity of a motion sensor may be adjusted via a control circuit based on adjustment of the spherical motion sensor housing.
A security light having optional and prioritized connection to multiple power supplies. The lighting controller can sense the appropriate connected supply and automatically connect to three different power supplies which include house voltage connection through a typical junction box, a remote solar charging station, and on board batteries that can be used as a third backup power supply. Additional implementations include prioritizing the connection to the plurality of electrical supplies and selecting one of the electrical supplies based upon a stored connection priority list or associated circuitry as well as including associated lighting characteristics for the prioritized selection.

One embodiment provides a rotatable light fixture ("fixture") and receiving mounting base ("base") which maintains electrical connectivity between them, comprising: the base mountable to a surface and electrically connectable to a junction box and power supply wires of the junction box, and having a plurality of annularly extending rotationally exposed contacts and a third contact positioned within the exposed contacts; and the fixture including a plurality of electrical contacts in rotational engagement with the exposed contacts and third contact. The fixture maintains electrical connectivity between the electrical contacts and the exposed contacts for rotational engagement between the fixture and base. The fixture includes LEDs in electrical connectivity with the electrical contacts. The base and fixture rotationally engage and rotationally secure to each other through a mechanical locking mechanism. The fixture has a first portion and a second portion rotatable relative to one another along a rotational interface.
Disclosed are various embodiments of a rotationally adjustable outdoor security light for wall or eaves mount One embodiment comprises a housing mount affixable to a surface of a structure and a luminaire housing, the luminaire housing having a luminaire housing first portion removably attachable to the housing mount and a luminaire housing second portion rotatable relative to the luminaire housing first portion. The luminaire housing second portion has a motion sensor and at least one lamp head. The at least one lamp head includes at least a first lamp head which is positionally adjustable relative to the luminaire housing second portion. The luminaire housing second portion rotates relative to the luminaire housing first portion along an angled rotational surface formed between the luminaire housing first portion and the luminaire housing second portion.
One embodiment of the security light mounting assembly disclosed comprises a housing mount allowing a security light canopy (canopy) to be removably and electrically mounted. The mount comprises a receiving opening formed by first and second opposing side surfaces and an electrical receiving surface extending therebetween; a plurality of housing mount electrical contacts formed on the electrical receiving surface removably engageable with a plurality of corresponding electrical contacts on the canopy to establish at least one removably engaging electrical contact; and an interfacing locking mechanism between the mount and a mounting block of the canopy to maintain the at least one removably engaging electrical contact between the plurality of mounting block electrical contacts and the plurality of housing mount electrical contacts. The at least one removably engaging electrical contact includes at least one communication connection and at least one power connection between the housing mount and the mounting block.
