1. An adjustable recessed lighting apparatus comprising:
a base that is mountable to a surface and includes a light passage that generally directs light in a first direction (FD) parallel to a normal of the surface;
a rotation ring that is rotatably mounted to the base such that the rotation ring is rotatable about the light passage;
at least one light source mounted within the apparatus to emit the light through the light passage in a second direction (SD) that is oblique (α) to the first direction (FD);
a first drive that is fixedly secured to the rotation ring, wherein the first drive does not independently rotate with respect to the rotation ring, and wherein the first drive transfers torque applied to the first drive to the rotation ring causing rotation of the rotation ring relative to the base about the light passage; and
a second drive that is fixedly secured to the rotation ring, wherein the second drive transfers torque applied to second drive to a heat sink assembly causing pivoting of the heat sink assembly and the at least one light source relative to the base about one or more hinges.
