Abstract: Fluorescent lighting fixture modules for indirect lighting of interior spaces, each module including at least one, and preferably a pair of side-by-side parallel linear indirect fluorescent lighting fixture elements suspended at fixed grid pattern locations beneath the ceiling of the open interior space. Each of the linear indirect lighting fixture elements is preferably no greater than approximately six feet in length with a suitable length being somewhat greater than four feet where a four foot lamp is used. Where the fixture elements are provided in pairs, each is suspended below the ceiling at its fixed grid location by a suitable hanger structure with a preferred overall fixture module width of approximately four feet.

Abstract: There is provided an illuminated sign mounting system and methods for mounting an illuminated sign to a mounting surface.

Abstract: A louver assembly is disclosed for use in an overhead lighting system. The louver assembly comprises a series of thin, lightweight stringers and blade ribs arranged perpendicular to one another such that the respective side surfaces of the respective stringers are positioned at an acute angle with respect to a ceiling plane and the reflective faces of the blade ribs are positioned substantially transverse with respect to the ceiling plane.

Abstract: A replacement light fixture for directing light emitted from a light source toward an area to be illuminated, including a base member upon with the light source is positioned and a reflector assembly detachably secured to a first and second mounting brackets that are mounted to a portion of the preexisting light fixture housing such that a lens portion of the reflector assembly overlies the light source and such that substantially all of the light emitted from the light source passes through the lens portion.

Abstract: A heat retaining sleeve for raising the cold spot temperature of a fluorescent lamp is comprised of a base end, a distal end, and a sleeve body sized and shaped to fit over the end of a fluorescent lamp or lamps where the lamp's cold spot exists. The sleeve creates a heat retaining air gap between the inner surface of the sleeve body and the lamp end or ends with the cold spot, and has sufficient length to so that, when fitted over the lamp end or ends, the cold spot temperature is elevated to a temperature that increase the lumen output of the fitted fluorescent lamp or lamps.

Abstract: A light fixture for directing light emitted from a light source toward an area to be illuminated, including a reflector assembly within which the light source is positioned and a lens assembly detachably secured to a portion of the reflector assembly such that a lens of the lens assembly overlies the light source and such that substantially all of the light emitted from the light source passes through the lens assembly.

Abstract: A light fixture or troffer for directing light emitted from a light source toward an area to be illuminated, including a reflector assembly within which the light source is positioned, a lens assembly detachably secured to a portion of the reflector assembly such that a lens of the lens assembly overlies a portion of the light source, and a plurality of end caps secured to a housing of the light fixture and overlying a portion of the light source such that substantially all of the light emitted from the light source passes through the lens assembly and the end caps.

Abstract: A network operation center for a light management system having networked intelligent luminaire managers. A plurality of networked luminaire managers, each collocated with a respective luminaire, monitor the status of their respective luminaires. The luminaire managers include transmitters for transmitting status information about their respective luminaires and third-party devices to a network server. The network server forwards the received status information from the networked luminaire managers to a computer of an owner/operator of the plurality of luminaires and/or a third-party user. The luminaire managers communicate with each other, whereby they form a network.
