Zusammenfassung:	A torque limiting adjuster for adjusting the position of an adjustable part of a lighting device includes a housing, an output shaft, a driving gear, a driven gear, and a biasing element. The housing includes a main opening and a first threaded portion. The driven gear includes a gearing portion adapted to be engaged with the driving gear. The driving and driven gears are engaged by the biasing element. The output shaft has a first linear guiding portion oriented in a main direction and a second threaded portion coupled with the first threaded portion. The driven gear has a second linear guiding portion slidably coupled with the first linear guiding portion. The second linear guiding portion is configured to transmit the rotation of the driven gear to the first linear guiding portion when the driven gear rotates driven by the driven gear. The driven gear exerts a reaction force on the driving gear that overcomes the biasing element when the driven gear is forced to rotate beyond the predetermined limit position.
