  • Patent number: 8646948
    Abstract: An lighting fixture includes a reflector, a pedestal, and a lighting module. The reflector includes an opening formed therethrough and the pedestal is positioned in communication with the opening. The lighting module is coupled to the pedestal. In certain embodiments, the reflector is organically shaped and includes four parts, where each part is substantially S-shaped. The lighting module includes a frame and indirect LEDs that emit light toward the interior surface of the reflector. The indirect LEDs are positioned below the lowest portions of the reflector a are positioned at an angle with respect to a horizontal axis. The frame includes a cut-off wall that provides for a cut-off angle for the indirect LEDs and one or more fins. The frame and the pedestal provide thermal management for the LEDs. In certain embodiments, the lighting module also includes one or more of direct LEDs and an active cooling module.

  • Patent number: 8474770
    Abstract: A wall mounting bracket assists in mounting equipment to a wall. The wall mounting bracket includes a plate, a post, and a sliding nut. At least a portion of the post extends outwardly from the surface of the plate. The plate is coupled to a stud or other mounting device positioned within the wall behind the sheetrock. The post includes an equipment mounting section and a spacer. The spacer is positioned between the equipment mounting section and the plate and accommodates different wall thicknesses. The bottom surface of the sliding nut is slidably and securely positionable along the top surface of the equipment mounting section. Different types of wall-mounted equipment is coupled to the sliding nut and the equipment mounting section of the wall mounting bracket. Use of the wall mounting bracket allows the equipment to be mounted to the wall without an exposed flange and preserve structural integrity.

  • Publication number: 20100128483
    Abstract: A luminaire described herein reduces energy consumption without limiting the light output and beam spreads. This configuration is useful for retail applications where a dimmable point source illumination is beneficial and minimal degradation due to damaging UV, IR, and heat may be important to product shelf life. The luminaire combines a light source, a thermal management system, a printed circuit board, and optics and shielding components in a single unit to accomplish these objectives. The substantially cylindrical lighting assembly includes a plurality of LEDs configured to emit light from a front end; a thermal management system for cooling the LEDs from a back end; a printed circuit board electrically coupled to the LEDs and the thermal management system; a refractor positioned adjacent the LEDs on the front end; and a shielding component positioned along the front end of the lighting assembly.
