  • Patent number: 6210018
    Abstract: An alternative lighting system luminaire to conventional fluorescent light fixtures includes an angled mounting bracket with a plurality of fluorescent lamps to provide both greater illumination of a linearly extending visual display aisle. The obliquely placed lamps are secured and powered by sockets fastened to the angled mounting bracket which is mounted to the ballasts of the fixture. Ballasts are located in the area between the reflector and the top of the fixture. The light emitted ends of the fixture are angled downward to illuminate areas not immediately below the lighting fixture itself.

  • Patent number: 6024468
    Abstract: An alternative lighting system luminaire to conventional high intensity discharge light fixtures such as mercury vapor, metal halide, high pressure sodium lighting fixtures includes a highly polished reflector made of silver film or highly polished aluminum with a plurality of fluorescent biax lamps to provide both greater lumen production per watt and retain a greater percentage of it's lumen output over the fixtures life. This system allows one for one fixture replacement when substituted for 400-watt metal halide, 400 watt high pressure sodium, and 400-1000 watt mercury vapor high intensity discharge lighting fixtures in design or replacement applications. The luminaire utilizes very high efficiency "Dulux L" high lumen compact fluorescent lamps, which are each shaped like a single inverted "U" and are a minimum of 16 inches long. The lamps extend parallel to the face lens of the fixture and can number from one to eight in quantity.

  • Patent number: 5528473
    Abstract: An alternative lighting system luminaire to conventional high intensity discharge light fixtures such as mercury vapor, metal halide, high pressure sodium lighting fixtures includes a concave translucent reflector/refractor or a concave, opaque reflector with a starburst pattern of fluorescent lights to provide both greater lumen production per watt. This system allows one-for-one fixture replacement when substituted for 400 watt metal halide and 1000 watt mercury vapor high intensity discharge lighting fixtures in design or replacement applications. The luminaire utilizes very high efficiency "Dulux L" high lumen compact fluorescent lamps, which each are shaped like a single inverted "U" and are a minimum of 16 inches long. The lamps extend from the base of the refractor or the reflector in a starburst pattern, wherein the lamps extend both downward and outward.

  • Patent number: 5523931
    Abstract: An alternative lighting system luminaire to conventional high intensity discharge light fixtures such as mercury vapor, metal halide, high pressure sodium lighting fixtures includes a translucent reflector/refractor with a starburst pattern of fluorescent lights to provide both greater lumen production per watt with uplight capabilities for an even distribution of light. This system allows one-for-one fixture replacement when substituted for 400 watt metal halide and 1000 watt mercury vapor high intensity discharge lighting fixtures in design or replacement applications. The luminaire utilizes very high efficiency "Dulux L" high lumen compact fluorescent lamps, which each are shaped like a single inverted "U" and are a minimum of 16 inches long. The lamps extend from the base of reflector and/or refractor in a starburst pattern, wherein the lamps extend both downward and outward.
