Abstract
A light fixture can include a housing having at least one wall and a collar limiting feature disposed at a top end of the at least one wall. The light fixture can also include a collar disposed around the at least one wall, where the collar abuts against the collar limiting feature and is rotatable relative to the housing, where the collar includes a first cover coupling feature. The light fixture can further include a cover coupled to the collar, where the cover includes a first collar coupling feature, where the first collar coupling feature couples to the first cover coupling feature of the collar. The housing can be rotatable relative to the collar and the cover when the cover is decoupled from the collar, where the housing can be held in a fixed position relative to the collar and the cover when the cover is coupled to the collar.
