Title: Motorized Lighting Fixture with Motor and Light Dimming Control 
Abstract:

A lighting fixture includes a housing defining a longitudinal axis, a lamp carriage assembly disposed inside the housing and supporting one or more lamps parallel with the longitudinal axis, and a motor coupled between the housing and the lamp carriage assembly and operative for pivoting the lamp carriage assembly relative to the housing about a pivot axis of the lamp carriage assembly. A method of operating the lighting fixture includes (a) causing a lamp carriage assembly disposed inside the housing to be in a home position and outputting light in response to illumination of the one or more lamps of the lamp carriage assembly, and (b) causing the lamp carriage assembly to pivot about its pivot axis thereby redirecting where the light output by the lamp carriage assembly travels in response to the illumination of the one or more lamps of the lamp carriage assembly.
