Tilt and clean sliding light assembly bracket and light fixture

摘要

Devices, apparatus, fixtures, systems and methods of using a sliding hanger bracket for overhead lights that allows the light shade, such as a glass bowl, to lower away from a ceiling fan or light base, and tilt allowing the light shade to be cleaned and change light sources, such as the light bulbs, without having to disassemble the light fixture. The hanger bracket can have an up position locked in place where the outside of the overhead light appears undistinguishable from traditional ceiling light fixtures or lights on ceiling fans.
