Patent number: 11873969Abstract: A wall wash recessed light fixture has a light engine assembly has an aperture, an LED module operable to emit light through the aperture, a lens disposed between the LED module and the aperture, and a reflector disposed between the LED module and the lens. The LED module has an optical axis passing through the aperture and substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis (Z). The lens has a first side forming a plano-convex lens with a convex surface facing the LED module and has a second side with a Fresnel lens surface facing the aperture, and the lens is aligned at an oblique angle ?1 relative to the optical axis of the LED module. A diffuser is disposed between the lens and the aperture. The plano-convex lens has a principal axis aligned at the oblique angle ?1 relative to the optical axis of the LED module.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2023Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Inventors: Yi Yang, Timothy Wickham

Publication number: 20230280019Abstract: A recessed light fixture has a heat sink and a removable light engine assembly. A thermally conductive base of the light engine assembly has an LED and has a thermal interface adapted for thermal coupling to a thermal interface of the heat sink. A mechanical connector in the enclosure can connect the base of the light engine assembly to the heat sink and couple the thermal interfaces of the light engine assembly and heat sink. The base of the light engine assembly is insertable through an opening in the ceiling aligned and can be urged into connected and disconnected states, from within the room, with a minimal clearance between the opening in the ceiling and the base, whereby the light engine assembly can be replaced or serviced from within the room without disturbing the ceiling and without the use of a large diameter trim.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Inventors: Timothy Wickham, Oriana J. Starr, Frank Cogliano, Howard D. Delano
