  • Patent number: 10845041
    Abstract: An extended length or linear type light fixture having a lighting element placed on pivoting members locked into the fixture is provided. The fixture is of the typical sealed beam fixture used in outdoor or places having an environment harmful to electronics. The present invention allows the fixture to be installed, often at elevated positions, relative to the ground, or in places not easily accessible, and allows the light element to be pivoted so that even after the light fixture is installed, the light from the fixture can be pivoted to project light where more desired. As such the installation of lighting fixtures is simplified and adjustments are possible even after installation and upon the change of conditions and as needed for immediate change and restoration. The fixture provides a high grade light element with easy adjustments for use in a variety of situations that previously required removal and reinstallation of light fixtures or the use of additional fixtures at increased costs.

  • Publication number: 20140268720
    Abstract: A modular troffer-style fixture that is well-suited for use with solid state light sources, such as LEDs, to provide a surface ambient light (SAL). The fixture comprises two structural components: a housing subassembly and a lighting subassembly. These two subassemblies may be removably attached to operate as a singular fixture. Many different lighting subassemblies may be compatible with a single housing subassembly and vice versa. The housing subassembly comprises a body that is mountable to an external structure. The lighting subassembly comprises the light sources and optical elements that tailor the light to achieve a particular profile. Electronics necessary to power and control the light sources may be disposed in the housing subassembly, the lighting subassembly, or both. Various mount mechanisms may be used to attach the fixture to a surface such as a ceiling or a wall. Multiple fixtures can be connected serially to provide an extended continuous fixture.
