  • Patent number: 8220961
    Abstract: An LED light fixture and methods are provided in which the light from central portions of the LED light sources are reflected to illuminate areas on the periphery of an associated area, while less intense light from the sides of the LED light sources illuminate interior portions of the associated area to produce a uniform illumination, both horizontally and vertically, while minimizing direct glare from the light sources. The LED light fixture includes a heat sink having cooling fins on the periphery of the housing.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6293510
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for mounting luminaires (A) includes a lower mounting plate (30a) having a front face (32a) and a back face (34a) adapted for attachment to a luminaire. An upper mounting plate (30b), having a front face (32b) and a back face (34b), is adapted for attachment to an electrical assembly (20). The upper and lower mounting plates are identical in configuration. The upper mounting plate selectively engages the lower mounting plate so that the upper mounting plate and the lower mounting plate are in locking relation. A hinge (50) operatively connects the upper and lower mounting plates. The hinge is adapted to swing down and suspend the luminaire while the appropriate electrical connections are made and pivot to a substantially horizontal position once the upper and lower mounting plates have been placed in locking relation.
