A lighting fixture can dispose a light source in a recess of a ceiling or another surface while providing at least one of three adjustments that facilitates installation or post-installation setup. The first adjustment can support mounting the fixture to surfaces of differing thicknesses while maintaining the light source at a uniform recess depth. The second possible adjustment can facilitate rotating a visible portion of the fixture, typically an aperture or hole through which light transmits from the light source into a room or some other illuminated space. After the lighting fixture is attached to the ceiling, a user can rotate the aperture for alignment with another fixture or another object. The third possible adjustment can provide an illumination pattern that can be tilted to various angles or oriented in various directions according to user preference or to establish a desired lighting effect.

1. A lighting fixture comprising: a lamp;a member that is substantially rectangular in outline, the member comprising: a first side facing the lamp, anda second side opposite the first side, anda first aperture;a spin disk rotatably attached to the member in alignment with the first aperture, wherein the spin disk comprises a second aperture positioned to provide passage of light emitted by the lamp, the second aperture comprising at least four corners;a third aperture disposed near a periphery of the spin disk; anda fastener mechanically coupling the member and the spin disk together, the fastener extending through the third aperture;wherein the fastener and the third aperture provide a range of rotation for the spin disk and the second aperture. 2. The lighting fixture of claim 1, wherein the fastener is a screw. 3. The lighting fixture of claim 1, wherein the range of rotation for the spin disk and the second aperture is 7.5 degrees in either direction of rotation. 4. The lighting fixture of claim 1, wherein the third aperture is a curved slot. 5. The lighting fixture of claim 1, further comprising a home positioning screw disposed near the periphery of the spin disk. 6. A lighting fixture comprising: a member supporting a receptacle for a light source;a frame comprising: a first side oriented towards the receptacle;a second side opposite the first side; andan aperture oriented to transmit light emitted at the receptacle; anda mechanism mechanically coupling the member to the frame, the mechanism comprising: a bracket comprising a slot in communication with the member, the slot defining a tilting capability for the receptacle relative to the frame; anda lock that comprises a fastener and that fixes the receptacle at a user selected tilt within the tilting capability by providing engagement between the member and the bracket,wherein the mechanism comprises a hole that is aligned with the fastener and that is sized for receiving a screwdriver extending towards the fastener. 7. The lighting fixture of claim 6, wherein the lock comprises a locking tab. 8. The lighting fixture of claim 6, wherein the lock comprises a spring loaded screw. 9. The lighting fixture of claim 6, wherein the slot provides 45 degrees of tilting capability. 10. The lighting fixture of claim 6, wherein the mechanism is rotatably coupled to the frame to provide user selected rotation of the receptacle relative to the frame. 11. A lighting fixture comprising: a member supporting a receptacle for a light source;a frame comprising: a first side oriented towards the receptacle;a second side opposite the first side; andan aperture oriented to transmit light emitted at the receptacle; anda mechanism mechanically coupling the member to the frame, the mechanism comprising: a bracket comprising a slot in communication with the member, the slot defining a tilting capability for the receptacle relative to the frame; anda lock that fixes the receptacle at a user selected tilt within the tilting capability by providing engagement between the member and the bracket,wherein the lock is operative to provide the engagement when driven by a handheld tool, andwherein the lighting fixture comprises a pair of guiding holes that are aligned with the lock across the tilting capability and that are sized to receive the handheld tool. 12. A lighting fixture comprising: a frame comprising: a first side operable to face a space to be illuminated;a second side opposite the first side; andan aperture sized for transmitting illumination into the space to be illuminated, along an axis of illumination; anda lamp support mechanism that is attached to the second side of the frame that is operable to tilt the axis of illumination in response to user input, and that comprises: a fastener that fixes the tilt; andat least one hole sized to receive a handheld tool extending through the aperture towards the fastener,wherein the at least one hole is disposed along an axis of the fastener at a location displaced from the fastener. 13. The lighting fixture of claim 12, wherein the lamp support mechanism is rotationally attached to the second side of the frame. 14. The lighting fixture of claim 12, wherein the frame comprises a plaster frame. 15. The lighting fixture of claim 12, wherein the fastener comprises a spring loaded screw. 16. A lighting fixture comprising: a frame comprising: a first side operable to face a space to be illuminated;a second side opposite the first side; andan aperture sized for transmitting illumination into the space to be illuminated, along an axis of illumination; anda lamp support mechanism that is attached to the second side of the frame, that is operable to tilt the axis of illumination in response to user input, and that comprises: a fastener that fixes the tilt; andat least one hole sized to receive a handheld tool extending through the aperture towards the fastener,wherein the user input comprises force transmitted from the handheld tool to the lamp support mechanism by tilting the handheld tool. 17. A lighting fixture comprising: a frame comprising: a first side operable to face a space to be illuminated;a second side opposite the first side; andan aperture sized for transmitting illumination into the space to be illuminated, along an axis of illumination; anda lamp support mechanism that is attached to the second side of the frame, that is operable to tilt the axis of illumination in response to user input, and that comprises: a fastener that fixes the tilt; andat least one hole sized to receive a handheld tool extending through the aperture towards the fastener,wherein the at least one hole comprises a pair of axially aligned holes. 18. A lighting fixture comprising: a frame comprising: a first side operable to face a space to be illuminated;a second side opposite the first side; andan aperture sized for transmitting illumination into the space to be illuminated, along an axis of illumination; anda lamp support mechanism that is attached to the second side of the frame, that is operable to tilt the axis of illumination in response to user input, and that comprises: a fastener that fixes the tilt; andat least one hole sized to receive a handheld tool extending through the aperture towards the fastener,wherein the handheld tool has a longitudinal axis, and wherein the lamp support mechanism tilts and rotates in response to user input comprising force transferred by tilting the longitudinal axis of the handheld tool.
