  • Patent number: 8783916
    Abstract: A recessed light includes an enclosure with a cavity, an opening into the cavity and a mounting surface about the periphery of the opening. An intermediate light assembly including a peripheral frame and a lamp is mounted on the mounting surface of the enclosure. The peripheral frame includes a main frame and extension rings which can be stacked to extend the lamp away from the cavity. The lamp has an array of light emitting diodes on a substrate which is affixed to and thermally integral with a pivotally mounted reflector mounted to the peripheral frame. The reflector provides cooling fins for the array of light emitting diodes. A lens associated with a lens frame is attached to the intermediate lamp assembly.

  • Patent number: 5303134
    Abstract: The improved landscape lighting device suitable for use indoors and outdoors. It is particularly adapted to have the lower end thereof placed in a hole in the ground for low level landscape lighting. A lamp, preferably of the sealed beam type, is releasably held within a flexible, resilient, cylindrical, elastomeric gasket having a sidewall defining an open upper end and open lower end. The inner surface of the gasket is grooved to releasably grip the periphery of the lamp. The exterior surface of the gasket has a plurality of spaced, outwardly extending lugs, preferably in the form of fingers or elongated cylinders, protruding therefrom, which lugs frictionally engage the interior surface of a generally cylindrical, weatherproof housing. The housing has a sidewall defining a central space within which the gasket is disposed. The housing has an open upper end and open lower end.
