A recessed light fixture having a rotation ring allowing rotation of a lamp mounted over the fixture frame aperture, the rotation ring easily rotatable on the frame and held in place by a ring clamp. The recessed light fixture rotation ring has a mechanical brake for locking the ring in place after positioning of the lamp. The ring also has a slip disc positioned between the surface of the frame and the ring to allow easy rotation. The housing of the fixture has junction boxes mounted on side walls which are hinged to the sidewalls of the housing and which swivel into the interior of the housing for ready access after installation through the aperture of the frame. The lamp of the fixture movable about a horizontal adjustment and vertical adjustment axis while also maintaining position with respect to the reflector.

The invention claimed is: 1. A recessed light fixture, comprising: a rotation ring rotatably mounted on a frame of said recessed light fixture, said rotation ring having a lamp mounted thereon, said rotation ring rotatable within said frame for altering an angle of said lamp, rotation of said rotation ring limited by a stop mechanism; a mechanical brake affixed to said rotation ring, said mechanical brake traveling substantially vertically through said rotation ring and a lowermost edge of said brake contacting said frame, said mechanical brake incorporating a brake screw, said brake screw threadably extending through said mechanical brake causing said mechanical brake to travel substantially vertically upon rotation of said brake screw. 2. The recessed light fixture of claim 1 wherein said mechanical brake is an inverted U-shaped brake clamp having a first and a second leg and a base portion extending therebetween, said brake screw extending through said base portion and through an inwardly directed brake tab on said rotation ring. 3. The recessed light fixture of claim 2 wherein said brake tab extends upwardly and inwardly from said rotation ring allowing said brake screw to be readily accessible through an aperture formed in said frame. 4. The recessed light fixture of claim 2 wherein said U-shaped brake clamp first and second legs travel vertically through said brake tab and engage said frame about said aperture in order to prevent rotation of said rotation ring. 5. The recessed light fixture of claim 4 wherein said brake mechanism further includes a brake spring interposed between said brake tab and said U-shaped bracket, said brake screw extending through said spring thereby biasing said U-shaped bracket upward away from said frame. 6. A recessed light fixture having a rotation ring affixed to a lamp, comprising: a brake tab extending inwardly and upwardly from said rotation ring and having an inverted U-shaped brake bracket extending through said brake tab, said U-shaped brake bracket having a first and a second leg, said first and second leg extending vertically through said brake tab, a brake screw extending through said brake tab and said U-shaped brake bracket, said U-shaped brake bracket traveling through said brake tab, said brake screw angled through said brake tab such that it is readily accessible through an aperture in a frame for threading said brake screw through said brake tab and said inverted U-shaped bracket allowing a lowermost edge of said U-shaped bracket to travel up and down to engage and disengage an inner-periphery of said frame and thereby restrict rotational movement of said rotation ring about said frame. 7. The recessed light fixture of claim 6 further comprising a ring clamp positioning said rotation ring on said frame and allowing rotation of said rotation ring between said ring clamp and a top surface of said frame. 8. The recessed light fixture of claim 7 further comprising a slip disk below said rotation ring and above said top surface of said frame, said slip disk, said rotation ring and said ring clamp being annular and positioned around a periphery of said aperture and said frame. 9. The recessed light fixture of claim 7 further comprising a biasing spring surrounding said brake screw and interposed between said brake tab and said U-shaped brake clamp. 10. A recessed light fixture having a rotatable lamp thereon, comprising: a rotation ring mounted to a lamp, said rotation ring having a braking mechanism vertically movable through said rotation ring by a brake screw for altering an angle of said lamp, said braking mechanism having at least one leg vertically adjustable through an inwardly directed brake tab of said rotation ring; said at least one leg traveling through said brake tab through rotation of said brake screw and extending through said brake tab and a lowermost edge of said leg engaging a top surface of a frame of said recessed light fixture to prevent rotation of said rotation ring relative to said frame and thereby prevent rotation of said lamp connected to said rotation ring. 11. A recessed light fixture, comprising: a rotation ring rotatably mounted on a frame, said rotation ring having a lamp mounted thereon, said rotation ring rotatable within said frame, rotation of said rotation ring limited by a stop mechanism; a mechanical brake affixed to said rotation ring, said mechanical brake traveling substantially vertically through said rotation ring and a lowermost edge of said brake contacting said frame, said mechanical brake incorporating a brake screw, said brake screw threadably extending through said mechanical brake causing said mechanical brake to travel upon rotation of said brake screw; said mechanical brake being an inverted U-shaped brake clamp having a first leg and a second leg and a base portion extending therebetween, said brake screw extending through said base portion and through an inwardly directed brake tab on said rotation ring; said U-shaped brake clamp first and second legs travel vertically through said brake tab and engage said frame about said aperture in order to prevent rotation of said rotation ring. 12. A recessed light fixture, comprising: a rotation ring rotatably mounted on a frame, said rotation ring having a lamp mounted thereon, said rotation ring rotatable within said frame, rotation of said rotation ring limited by a stop mechanism; a mechanical brake affixed to said rotation ring, said mechanical brake traveling substantially vertically through said rotation ring and a lowermost edge of said brake contacting said frame, said mechanical brake incorporating a brake screw, said brake screw threadably extending through said mechanical brake causing said mechanical brake to travel upon rotation of said brake screw; said mechanical brake being an inverted U-shaped brake clamp having a first and a second leg and a base portion extending therebetween, said brake screw extending through said base portion and through an inwardly directed brake tab on said rotation ring; said brake tab extending upwardly and inwardly from said rotation ring allowing said brake screw to be readily accessible through an aperture formed in said frame. 13. A recessed light fixture having a rotation ring affixed to a lamp, comprising: a brake tab extending inwardly and upwardly from said rotation ring and having an inverted U-shaped brake bracket extending through said brake tab; said U-shaped brake bracket having a first and a second leg; said first and second leg extending vertically through said brake tab, a brake screw extending through said brake tab and said U-shaped brake bracket; said U-shaped brake bracket traveling through said brake tab; said brake screw angled through said brake tab such that it is readily accessible through an aperture in a frame for threading said brake screw through said brake tab and said inverted U-shaped bracket allowing said U-shaped bracket to travel up and down to engage and disengage an inner-periphery of said frame and thereby restrict rotational movement of said rotation ring about said frame; a ring clamp positioning said rotation ring on said frame and allowing rotation of said rotation ring between said ring clamp and a top surface of said frame; a slip disk below said rotation ring and above said top surface of said frame, said slip disk, said rotation ring and said ring clamp being annular and positioned around a periphery of said aperture and said frame.
