Abstract: A luminaire includes a light source positioned at a first level within a luminaire housing. The luminaire also includes a trim component positioned at a second level of the luminaire housing different from the first level. The trim component extends into a room from a ceiling surface and includes an aperture antenna that receives wireless signals and transmits wireless signals. Further, the luminaire includes a communication module that communicates wirelessly with one or more devices remote from the luminaire by controlling excitation of the aperture antenna.

Abstract: A lighting system includes a first luminaire. The first luminaire includes a first light source that generates a first light output. The first luminaire also includes a first visual feedback response source that generates a first visual feedback response output. Additionally, the first luminaire includes a first speaker that generates a first audio output. Further, the lighting system includes a second luminaire. The second luminaire includes a second light source that generates a second light output and a second visual feedback response source that generates a second visual feedback response output. Furthermore, the second luminaire includes a second speaker that generates a second audio output. The second audio output is different from the first audio output such that the first speaker and the second speaker output different audio components of a multichannel audio protocol output.

Abstract: A luminaire includes a speaker positioned at a first depth within a luminaire housing and capable of generating an audio output from a speaker diaphragm. The luminaire also includes a light source that generates a light output. Further, the luminaire includes a light guide assembly positioned at a second depth within the luminaire housing different from the first depth. The light guide assembly includes an acoustically transparent area positioned along a sound path from the speaker diaphragm, and the light guide assembly extracts the light output from the light source and directs the light output away from the luminaire.

Abstract: A downlight fixture includes an optic housing, a light-emitting diode (LED) array, and a lens-less reflector. The LED array emits directional light rays in a downward direction towards an illuminated target. The reflector is mounted within the optic housing and adjacent to the LED array. The reflector has a hyperbolic wall continuously extending between a narrow neck and a wide bell. The light rays are spread into a light beam within the reflector upon making contact solely with the hyperbolic wall.

Abstract: A monitoring system is configured to manage lumen depreciation in a lighting fixture and includes an optic housing, a light source with a light-emitting diode (LED), a processor, and a memory device. The memory device stores instructions that cause the monitoring system to measure elapsed time during which the LED light source emits the light and, based on the elapsed time, determine a current level of the emitted light. In response to the current level changing from an acceptable level to an unacceptable level, an alert is provided to show that the emitted light has reached the unacceptable level. A reset input is received to remove the alert for a predetermined period of time. Changes in status of the LED light source are indicated.

Abstract: A fuse shield plate is pivotally mounted over the fuses which are electrically associated with a disconnect switch. The switch operating lever is connected to an interlock rod which extends to a dead front receptacle. Interfitting elements on the fuse shield and the interlock rod prevent the fuse shield from being opened when the operating lever has been moved to close the switch contacts. When the fuse shield is opened to expose the fuses, the interfitting elements prevent the operating lever from being moved to close the switch contacts.

Abstract: An actuator shaft has an external end mounting a handle adjacent the dead front receptacle and an internal end contained within the fixture housing. An actuator arm is mounted on the inner end of the actuator shaft. A spring urges the actuator shaft in a first rotary direction from a first position to a second position. When the actuator shaft is in its first position, the actuator arm is in an interfering relationship with an interlock rod thus preventing the disconnect switch from being turned on. A slider has one end thereof projecting into the cylindrical opening of the dead front receptacle. The other end of the slider includes an opening receiving the actuator shaft in the vicinity of a first slot; the slider opening defines cam follower formations engageable with a planar surface defined by the first slot. Insertion of a plug causes the slider to move such that the actuator or shaft may rotate under the influence of the spring from its first position to its second position.
