  • Patent number: 10107472
    Abstract: A luminaire has a LED module, a block structure with a cavity, a plurality of fins extending from the block structure, and a slot extending through a sidewall of the block into the cavity. The LED module is slidably received on a mounting surface of the slot and configured to project light through an aperture of the cavity. The mounting surface has an area equal to or larger than that of the aperture.

  • Patent number: 10082259
    Abstract: An aperture trim assembly for a recessed lighting fixture with an aperture trim that connects to a rotatable ring where the rotatable ring has a pair of tension springs attached. The tension springs connect the aperture trim assembly to a recessed lighting fixture, where the light may be rotated while the aperture trim remains fixed. The rotatable ring can rotate relative to the aperture trim allowing the aperture trim to remain fixed. A retention plate may further secure both a lens and the rotatable ring to the aperture trim.

  • Publication number: 20170314760
    Abstract: A luminaire has a light engine configured to be attached to a light source circuit board or LED module. The light engine may have a block structure with a cavity extending into the block structure from an aperture. The light engine may also have a slot, extending through a sidewall of the block into the cavity perpendicular to a first direction. The slot may form a mounting surface that has a larger surface area than an area of the aperture, onto which the circuit board or LED module may be attached. Further, the circuit board or LED module may be removable from the cavity and slidable through the slot.

  • Patent number: 6045241
    Abstract: An apparatus for retaining a trim to a lighting fixture utilizing a frame which is fixed relative to a surface at which the lighting fixture is mounted. The frame includes an opening and a surface surrounding the opening. One or more brackets are placed along the frame surface. A movable element of one bracket connects to the trim for support. Retaining of the trim is a accomplished by further fastening of the trim to another bracket placed along the surface surrounding the opening of the frame.

  • Patent number: 4716504
    Abstract: A system for securing a light fixture to a grid of a suspended ceiling is described. The fixture has a cutout at each corner of its opposed sidewalls. The cutout is formed with vertically spaced, horizontal surfaces. A bracket has a plate with upwardly extending opposed legs disposed transverse to the plate. The legs are biased away from each other and are each provided with upwardy extending surfaces adapted to capture one of the horizontal surfaces of the cutout therebetween. The bottoms of the legs define feet adapted to sit on an associated grid member. The plate extends below the grid member so that the member is captured between the plate and the upwardly extending surfaces while flanges affixed to the legs engage the inside of the fixture to provide a positive engagement between the fixture and the grid.
