Abstract: An LED floodlight fixture includes (1) a housing that has (a) at least one end-portion and (b) a single-piece extrusion including (i) a base having an LED-adjacent surface and an opposite surface and (ii) a heat-dissipating section having heat-dissipating surfaces extending from the opposite surface, and (2) an LED arrangement mounted to the LED-adjacent surface in non-water/air-tight condition with respect to the housing. The housing preferably forms at least one venting gap to provide cool-air ingress to and along the heat-dissipating surfaces by upward flow of heated air therefrom. Additionally and/or alternatively, the base of the single-piece extrusion has one or more venting apertures to provide cool-air ingress for such purpose. One aspect of the invention involves the heat-dissipating section of the extrusion including a closed extruded wireway therealong enclosing wires extending to/from electrical component(s).

Abstract: In a first embodiment the invention is for use with a light-fixture assembly for elongate light tubes of the type that includes (a) an elongate support frame and (b) a cross-structure at each of the opposite ends thereof and has at least one lamp holder thereon. The improvement of the embodiment wherein the cross-structures each include at least one folding arm movable between a stowed position substantially parallel with the support frame and a deployed position substantially perpendicular to the support frame.

Abstract: A lighting fixture includes a base having a hole in a top surface thereof, at least one retaining member disposed on the top surface of the base proximate the hole, a lamp housing having a top portion and a dome-shaped bottom portion, the bottom portion including a perimeter portion having an essentially planar annular end surface sized to surround the hole, at least one boss extending from the perimeter portion of the lamp housing, and a handle attached to the top portion of the lamp housing, where the retaining member is structured for receiving the boss with the annular end surface of the lamp housing abutting the top surface of the base and surrounding the hole, so that rotation of the handle effects twist-locking attachment or detachment of the lamp housing respectively to or from the base by rotating the boss into or out of engagement with the retaining member.

Abstract: Apparatus includes a mounting plate having a hole in a center portion thereof, a recessed light support member having laterally-extending flanges on each of two essentially parallel sides, and a guide disposed on the top surface of the plate, the guide having a longitudinal section offset from the top surface by a distance greater than the thickness of the flanges, where the flanges of the recessed light support member are slidable laterally between the top surface of the plate and the longitudinal section of the guide. A method of servicing a lighting fixture having a can includes sliding the can laterally from a position where the can is centered over the hole to a position where a servicing space is effected between a perimeter of the hole and the can.

Abstract: A flood light fixture for pivotable mounting to a pole or tenon is disclosed. The fixture includes a hollow mounting arm pivotably mounted to the fixture having a relieved portion defining a mounting wall. A transverse mounting bracket is slideably retained in a pair of grooves internally of the fixture housing and receives a thread fastener extending through a mounting boss on the mounting arm. A photoelectric sensor is mounted with the hollow mounting arm. Novel hinge assemblies comprising an arcuate shaped clip fastened to a flange on the housing encircles a pin on the housing cover providing for retention and pivotable movement of the cover, and a pair of wire formed latches are attached to the housing and clamp the cover to the housing.
