  • Patent number: 9273863
    Abstract: An illustrative light fixture provides an emitter housing and a driver housing in a single fixture with an airflow channel defined between the emitter and driver housings. The airflow channel minimizes thermal conduction between the emitter and driver housings, and maximizes thermal convective cooling for at least one of the emitter housing and driver housing. The emitter housing includes vertical fins extending into the airflow chamber. The left and right sides of the emitter and driver housings define top and bottom edges that are respectively coplanar with the top and bottom edges of the vertical fins.

  • Patent number: 9206968
    Abstract: An illustrative embodiment of a light fixture, which may be a type of recessed downlight called a wallwasher, includes a light housing and has a power supply, such as a driver and/or electrical junction box, mounted on or forming an arm. The arm is rotationally coupled to the light housing, with the arm having two axes of rotation relative to the light housing. That is, the arm freely rotates laterally about a first axis, and freely rotates in elevation about a second axis.

  • Patent number: 9134015
    Abstract: An illustrative mounting arm for a light fixture provides multiple tilt angles based on the selected orientation of components of the mounting arm. The mounting arm includes a first and second arm portion, each having opposite ends oriented at different relative angles to provide the multiple tilt angles for the light. A support end arm or second arm portion connects directly or indirectly to a wall or other support structure. An intermediate or first arm portion couples between the second arm portion and a mounting pad portion of the light fixture. Each of the first and second arm portions are rotatable in orientation, thus changing the orientation of the angle ends, each combination of possible arm portion orientations displacing the light fixture and therefore the illumination pattern at a different elevation angle relative to the support structure.

  • Patent number: 9010970
    Abstract: An illustrative light fixture includes an emitter housing and airflow cooling channels. The airflow cooling channels are defined in the space between opposite edges of the emitter housing and a rim around the periphery of at least the opposite edges of the emitter housing. The airflow channels are further defined by fins spanning between the rim and opposite edges and spanning across a side of the housing opposite the illumination side.

  • Patent number: 8985816
    Abstract: An illustrative light fixture includes a cylindrical lighting package housing surrounded peripherally by a cooling housing providing airflow cooling channels. The airflow cooling channels are defined in the space between the circumference of the cylindrical lighting package housing and a rim around the periphery of the light fixture. The cooling housing provides wide and long openings for air to rise vertically from below and through the airflow channels defined in part by cooling fins, and radial exit channels with vertical space for radially outward flow below a ceiling the fixture is mounted on, while also eliminating or minimizing the view through the airflow channels and to the ceiling.
