A multiple position luminaire is described having the ability to convert to multiple classifications. The luminaire claimed and described has a multiple position mounting surface on the back of the housing, the housing enclosing a lamp which is surrounded by a reflector. The luminaire mounts to a mounting bracket which allows the luminaire to be mounted in a plurality of positions and angles, the bracket engaging the multiple position mounting surface of the luminaire housing to be positioned either in multiple angle face down positions or multiple angle face up positions.
