Publication number: 20140133140Abstract: A burglarproof lamp includes a lamp head part with a lamp head shell, a center contact bolt, a center contact insulation fixing base, a center contact insulation fixing sheet, a location post and a connection part fixing base. The center contact bolt is connected to a conductive pole after passing through the center contact insulation fixing base, the lamp head shell and the center contact insulation fixing sheet. The connection part fixing base has a boss and a containing cavity where a spring and a center conductive shaft are located. A conductive fixing ring is connected to the lamp head shell for limiting the position of the connection part fixing base via the boss. The center contact insulation fixing sheet has a location hole, into which the location post can be inserted when it is driven to the position corresponding to the location hole by the connection part fixing base.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2012Publication date: May 15, 2014Applicant: CE LIGHTING LTD.Inventor: Sumin Zhang

Publication number: 20140126199Abstract: Retrofit systems and methods are disclosed for lighting installations, and in particular, to retrofit systems and methods used to retrofit troffer-style lighting installations with LED light sources. Retrofit systems can be used with different light fixtures, but those described are particularly adapted for use with troffer-style fixtures. These retrofit systems can provide the same amount of light as traditional light fixtures already do, for example 1600-4000 lumens or more. The retrofit systems can be used with many different light sources but are particularly well-suited for use with solid state light sources or light engines, such as those utilizing LEDs. Some embodiments of the present invention comprise a mechanical mounting system for installing an LED light engine within an existing lighting system housing or pan, such as a troffer pan, without penetrating the ceiling plenum.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2013Publication date: May 8, 2014Applicant: CREE, INC.Inventors: SHAWN HEETER, Vasavi Mandavilli, Mitchell Huang, Mark Edward Dixon, Kurt W.
