1. A lamp head rotation mechanism for a luminaire comprising: a housing having at least one pivot barrel depending therefrom;an illumination head rotatingly attached to each of said at least one pivot barrel;each of said illumination heads having an aperture with a radially depending pivot guide for rotatingly receiving said pivot barrel;each of said at least one pivot barrel having a first pivot notch and a second pivot notch in a sidewall thereof for receiving said pivot guide and rotation of said illumination head about said housing;said first pivot notch having an arc length about said pivot barrel sufficient to allow at least a 10° rearward rotation of said illumination head about said housing,wherein the at least one pivot barrel is cylindrical having an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein the outer surface has the first pivot notch and the second pivot notch, and wherein the inner surface includes a tab extending into the inner surface and having wing projections parallel to the inner surface for insertion into alignment holes of the housing. 2. The lamp head rotation mechanism for a luminaire of claim 1, wherein said second pivot notch has an arc length about said pivot barrel sufficient to allow at least a 30° forward rotation of said illumination head about said housing. 3. The lamp head rotation mechanism for a luminaire of claim 1, wherein at least one of said first pivot notch and said second pivot notch has an arc length about said pivot barrel sufficient to prohibit forward rotation of said illumination head about said housing in excess of about 0° with respect to an area being illuminated. 4. The lamp head rotation mechanism of claim 1, wherein said first pivot notch is perpendicular to and shorter than said second pivot notch. 5. The lamp head rotation mechanism of claim 1, wherein the tab includes a threaded receptacle aligned with fastener receptacles in the housing for receiving a fastener to non-rotationally and removably attach the at least one pivot barrel to the housing. 6. A rotation mechanism for respositionable lamp heads, comprising: a luminaire body having a mounting surface;a mount removably attachable to said luminaire body on said mounting surface and mountable to one of a horizontal or a vertical surface;a first lamp head and a second lamp head restrictably rotatable relative to said luminaire body, each of said lamp heads being rotatable to a cut-off position and to a forward throw position;wherein said restrictable rotation is provided by a re-positionable pivoting connection between each of said lamp heads and said luminaire body preventing forward rotation and throw of light when set at said cut-off position and restricting forward rotation of said lamp heads when set at said forward throw position,wherein said re-positionable pivoting connection is a pivot barrel,wherein said pivot barrel has a first rotation channel and a second rotation channel engageable with a pivot guide on said lamp head for rotation of one of said lamp heads about said luminaire body, andwherein the pivot barrel is cylindrical having an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein the outer surface has the first rotation channel and the second rotation channel, wherein the inner surface includes a tab extending into the inner surface and having wing projections parallel to the inner surface for insertion into alignment holes of the luminaire body, and wherein the tab includes a threaded receptacle aligned with fastener receptacles in the luminaire body for receiving a fastener to non-rotationally and removably attach the pivot barrel to the luminaire body. 7. The rotation mechanism for luminaire of claim 6, wherein said pivot barrel is installed in a first upright position and rotatable and installable in a second oriented position. 8. The lamp head rotation mechanism of claim 6, wherein said first rotation channel is perpendicular to and shorter than said second rotation channel. 9. A dual lamp luminaire having a rotational connection between a luminaire body and a lamp, comprising: a first lamp head and a second lamp head;the luminaire body rotatably connected to the first lamp head and the second lamp head, said luminaire body having an angled mounting surface removably engageable with a support arm, said support arm mountable against a horizontal surface or a vertical surface;each of said rotatable connection having a first orientation restricting forward rotation of said lamp head to about 0 degrees, and a second orientation allowing forward rotation to about 30 degrees;said rotatable connection being a respositionable rotation assembly installable in a first orientation and a second orientation between said lamp head and said luminaire body,wherein each of said rotatable connection is a cylindrical pivot barrel installed in said luminaire body and engageable with a pivot tab on said lamp head,wherein said cylindrical pivot barrel has a first rotation channel and a second rotation channel engageable with the pivot guide for rotation of one of said lamp heads about said luminaire body, andwherein the cylindrical pivot barrel has an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein the outer surface has the first rotation channel and the second rotation channel, wherein the inner surface includes a tab extending into the inner surface and having wing projections parallel to the inner surface for insertion into alignment holes of the luminaire body, and wherein the tab includes a threaded receptacle aligned with fastener receptacles in the luminaire body for receiving a fastener to non-rotationally and removably attach the cylindrical pivot barrel to the luminaire body. 10. The dual lamp luminaire of claim 9, wherein said first rotation channel is perpendicular to and shorter than said second rotation channel. 11. A rotational pivot connection between a lamp head and a luminaire housing, comprising: a luminaire housing having an aperture for receiving a pivot barrel;said pivot barrel having a first slot and a second slot, said first and said second slots being constructed to receive a pivot guide in a lamp head aperture;said pivot barrel repositionable within said luminaire housing aperture such that either said first slot or said second slot is engaged by said pivot guide of said lamp head aperture for rotation of said lamp head about said luminaire housing,wherein the pivot barrel is cylindrical having an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein the outer surface has the first slot and the second slot, wherein the inner surface includes a tab extending into the inner surface and having wing projections parallel to the inner surface for insertion into alignment holes of the luminaire housing, and wherein the tab includes a threaded receptacle aligned with fastener receptacles in the luminaire housing for receiving a fastener to non-rotationally and removably attach the pivot barrel to the luminaire housing. 12. The rotational pivot guide of claim 11 wherein said pivot barrel is repositioned by rotating said pivot barrel within said luminaire housing aperture into a first position or a second position. 13. The rotational pivot connection of claim 12 wherein said pivot barrel has at least one alignment projection to properly align said pivot barrel within said aperture of said luminaire housing. 14. The rotational pivot connection of claim 13, wherein said pivot barrel has a first alignment projection and a second alignment projection which abut a first cylindrical projection and a second cylindrical projection on said luminaire housing aperture to position said pivot barrel. 15. The rotational pivot connection of claim 13, wherein said rotational position allows said lamp head to be installed axially on said pivot barrel at an angle relative to the ground, said angle being less than about 0°. 16. The rotational pivot connection of claim 12 wherein said first slot positions said lamp head at about 0° maximum rotation. 17. The rotational pivot connection of claim 12 wherein said second slot allows said lamp housing to rotate up to about 30° maximum rotation. 18. The rotational pivot connection of claim 12, wherein said pivot barrel has a first lamp and a second lamp head position locking groove, said first locking groove separated from said second locking groove about 180°, said first locking groove positioned adjacent to a locking aperture adjacent said lamp head aperture when said second slot of said pivot barrel is engaged by said pivot guide. 19. The rotational pivot connection of claim 11, wherein said second slot of said pivot barrel allows said lamp head to rotate about 0° relative to the ground, said first slot having an end abutment, said pivot guide contacting said end abutment when said lamp head is at about 0°. 20. The rotational pivot connection of claim 11, wherein said first slot is perpendicular to and shorter than said second slot.
