    Abstract: A handrail assembly for lighting an adjacent area includes two stanchions for attachment to a surface, each stanchion including mounting structure; a bar for attachment to the stanchions, the bar having two ends and defining mounting structure at the ends; and a lighting element configured to be carried by the bar. The mounting structure of the stanchions and bars cooperate to provide two alternate mounting orientations of the bar within the stanchions. In a first of the orientations the lighting element is offset circumferentially in a first direction relative to a centerline of the stanchions lighting a first adjacent area on a first side of the stanchions. In a second of the orientations the lighting element is offset circumferentially in a second direction opposite the first direction relative to the centerline of the stanchions lighting a second adjacent area on a second side of the stanchions.

  • Publication number: 20140233223
    Abstract: A picture illuminating device for mounting on the wall above the picture, or on the back of the picture frame. The device utilizes a light emitting diode (LED) or array of LEDs or light tube with LEDs to produce uniform lighting and is powered by conventional or rechargeable batteries which eliminates the requirement of electrical outlets and the spectacle of exposed electrical cords extending down the wall. The device is composed of a stem and a shade. The shade houses the LED or array of LEDs or light tube with LEDs, batteries and the electronic circuit that converts the direct current from the batteries to the current required to power the LED or array of LEDs or light tube with LEDs. The shade may or may not include a reflector which is configured to mount the LED or array of LEDs or light tube with LEDs and batteries so that the shade covers the LED or array of LEDs or light tube with LEDs adequately to prevent any glare from the front while presenting the look of a conventional, corded picture lamp.

  • Patent number: 8789971
    Abstract: A flexible, integrally formed single piece light emitting diode (LED) light wire that provides a smooth, uniform lighting effect from all directions of the LED light wire. The integrally formed single piece LED light wire contains a conductive base comprising first and second bus elements formed from a conductive material. The bus elements distribute power from a power source to LEDs that are mounted on the first and second bus elements so that it draws power from and adds mechanical stability to the first and second bus elements. The flexible, integrally formed single piece LED light wire is assembled so that the first and second bus elements are connected to each other prior to the LED being mounted and such integrally formed single piece LED light wire is formed without a substrate.

  • Patent number: 8770785
    Abstract: A lighting fixture is provided that includes a flat elongated base having opposing longitudinal marginal slots and a pair of upright walls inboard of the longitudinal slots, and a pair of end caps engaging opposing ends of the elongated base. A gasket extends along a longitudinal surface of each of the upright walls. A lens extends between opposing end caps and conforms to the curved marginal edges of the end caps and edges and upright walls. The lens has two opposing longitudinal grooves that align with a pair of side rails extending between the end caps. Each side rail has a longitudinal cam projection extending into the associated lens groove. When the side rails are tightened against the lens, the cam projections tighten the lens into contact with the gasket to form a water tight seal between the lens and the base.

  • Patent number: 8733973
    Abstract: A lighting device has a base body of translucent material, in which several light-emitting diodes, which are applied to a flexible adhesive strip having integrated conductors, are arranged at intervals. A cavity is milled into the rear of the base body, the width and length of the cavity being slightly smaller than the width and length of the base body. A closed edge web is created along the periphery of the base body. An adhesive strip having light-emitting diodes is applied to the interior side of the edge web over the entire length in such a way that light-emitting diodes are arranged on the interior sides of opposing edge web sections. The light-emitting diodes illuminate a solid section of the base body in front of the cavity and produce a high luminous density on the front side. The rear side of the cavity is closed by a cover.

  • Patent number: 8573823
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a solid-state luminaire has a strip of high power LEDs, where each LED emits light into an optical coupler. Light from the optical coupler is then coupled into a light guide. Light coupled into the light guide is mixed and guided to an exit aperture of the light guide. An optical extractor proximate the exit aperture of the light guide redirects light outward, which is optionally redirected generally downward by a secondary reflector that extends outwardly along the length of the light guide. The secondary reflector may be configured to create a variety of light-emission patterns. The luminaire may be hung from a ceiling, in track lighting, used as a pendant or pedestal fixture, or in other applications.
