  • Publication number: 20150117005
    Abstract: A light fixture may include a plurality of elongate members, each extending between opposed ends and carrying one or more light radiation sources, such as LEDs, and at least one hinge member which mechanically couples one end of one of the elongate members to one end of another of the elongate members. Thus the hinge member allows the orientation of the elongate members between: an open position, wherein the elongate members extend in sequence with each other in a common direction, and a closed position, wherein the elongate members extend side by side.

  • Patent number: 8888323
    Abstract: Lighting device, usable for example with LED light sources, comprises a bowl-shaped body having a base surface with a plurality of mounting studs projecting from the base surface, together with one or more boards for the mounting of light radiation sources, provided with holes for the passage of respective mounting studs. The board has pairs of mounting locations for light radiation sources, each pair being arranged on opposite sides of a respective hole so as to be located on opposite sides of the stud which extends through said respective hole. A plurality of reflectors is provided in order to project the light radiation from the device. The reflectors each have an inlet opening for the light radiation and are capable of being mounted on the mounting studs selectively in one of at least two opposite mounting positions in which the inlet opening is placed at one of said mounting locations.
