    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a luminaire including a housing component and at least one LED carrier circuit board. The housing component has at least one section which projects from a base of the housing component and which is formed with a plurality of surfaces oriented differently relative to the base. The LED carrier circuit board carries at least one LED device as light source for providing light to be emitted by the luminaire. The LED carrier circuit board is arranged by a rear side thereof at least in sections on one of the plurality of surfaces of the section projecting from the base in such a way that the LED device overlies the surface at least partially. The housing component, in the region of the base thereof, has at least one region which is formed as a heatsink for dissipating heat generated by the LED device during operation.

  • Publication number: 20190271456
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a luminaire having a light generation device, a heat sink, a reflector and an intermediate element. The heat sink is pivotably coupled to the reflector about a pivot axis relative to said reflector. Light can be emitted into an inner space of the reflector by the light generation device. The intermediate element is mounted on the heat sink so that it can be moved relative to said heat sink and has a first section provided with a tooth system. The reflector has at least one second section provided with a tooth system. Engagement of the tooth systems of the first and second sections into one another counteracts pivoting of the heat sink relative to the reflector about the pivot axis. To pivot the heat sink relative to the reflector about the pivot axis, the tooth systems of the first and second sections can be disengaged.

  • Publication number: 20190195473
    Abstract: A modular system comprising track-mounted fixtures and track is described. In some embodiments, fixtures access electrical power through electrified railings recessed within a relatively narrow power slot of the track. Primary mechanical support of the fixture weight is optionally provided from a magnetic mounting surface surrounding the power slot. The track cross-section optionally provides mounting surface area on mounting wings, allowing a narrower slot housing. Optionally, secondary mechanical support provided within the slot comprises a deployable anchoring element which laterally expands into a receiving area. Optionally, deployment comprises rotation of the anchoring element. The anchoring element, in some embodiments, acts as a secondary mechanical support, preventing, for example, accidental detachment of the fixture from the slot, without preventing repositioning movements of the fixture along the slot, even when fully deployed.

  • Patent number: 10330269
    Abstract: An illuminating device has a planar, elongate lighting unit and a profile-shaped carrier component. The lighting unit can be fixed to the carrier component. The lighting unit has a profile element which is permeable to light and has a cross-sectional shape which is U-shaped in some portions, opposing limbs of the U-shaped cross-sectional shape extend substantially in the thickness direction of the lighting unit, and an inner region of the profile element is formed with an opening formed between the limbs by the U-shaped cross-sectional shape. The lighting unit has a planar base part which is arranged in the region of the opening and is coupled to the profile element. The profile element is formed by a material which offers less resistance to a deformation than a second material by which the planar base part is formed. In the inner region, a light-generation device is arranged in this case.
