  • Patent number: 11725786
    Abstract: A lighting fixture includes a housing with a first end and a second end. The lighting fixture further includes a first plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) configured to illuminate a main lens of the housing between the first end and the second end. The lighting fixture further includes an end cap disposed at the first end. The end cap includes an end cap lens and a second plurality of LEDs configured to illuminate the end cap lens independently from the first plurality of LEDs. The end cap further includes a wall configured to substantially prevent light emitted from the second plurality of LEDs from being emitted through the main lens of the housing.

  • Patent number: 11313543
    Abstract: An example joiner system for joining a first section and a second section of a fixture includes a joiner bracket that has formed therein a depressed ramp region. A joiner fastener, such as a screw, may engage against the angled walls of the joiner bracket ramp, to translate the vertical movement of the screw into a horizontal, longitudinal movement of the joiner bracket. The joiner bracket may be rigidly coupled to one section of a light fixture assembly, such that engaging the screw ramp with a fastener that extends through another section of the light fixture causes the two fixture sections to move toward each other. As vertical movement of a fastener produces horizontal movement of the joiner bracket, the joiner fastener or set screw may extend outside of the light fixture assembly, so as to be readily accessible by a technician.

  • Patent number: 10801709
    Abstract: An example joiner bracket system for joining a first section and a second section of a fixture includes a pair of oppositely-oriented joiner brackets that have interlocking and complementary shapes. The joiner brackets may include features that engage with or attach to corresponding elements within the first and second fixtures. After the joiner brackets are secured to their respective fixture sections, the pair of joiner brackets may be positioned near each other to align a pair of bore holes or coupling bosses each extending at an angle through the pair of joiner brackets. Screws or other suitable fasteners may be driven through the aligned bosses or bores to couple to the bosses, and upon further engagement, to pull together the joiner brackets together and, in turn, bring together the first and second sections of the lighting fixture.
