Patent number: 8545063Abstract: There is provided a light fixture for mounting to a ceiling, wall or the like, which comprises a pot having a peripheral edge abutting the area adjacent a hole made in the ceiling or wall. A hook and a bolt cooperate to secure the pot to the ceiling or wall. Rotating the bolt causes the hook to move into an abutting engagement with the rear surface of the ceiling, the latter thus being contacted, on the outside, by the peripheral edge of the pot and, on the inside, by that portion of the hook engaging the rear surface of the ceiling.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2009Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: Eclairage Contraste M.L. Inc.Inventors: Benoit Dupuy, Pascal Lecluze, Jayson Auger

Patent number: 7824081Abstract: The disclosure herein describes a helicoidal system for securing a recessed light fixture assembly into an opening in a ceiling, wall or the like; the assembly comprises a light reflector having an upper collar and a light reflector support for mounting the light reflector into the opening of the ceiling, wall or the like. The light reflector support has an upper member that engages the upper part of the light reflector and has a helicoidal bearing surface to receive lugs provided on the light reflector whereby rotation of the light reflector, once received in the light reflector support, enables engagement in one rotational direction, and disengagement in an opposite rotational direction, of the light reflector to and from the reflector support.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2009Date of Patent: November 2, 2010Assignee: Éclairage ContrasteInventors: Marc Pelletier, Jacques Mercier, Jayson Auger

Patent number: 7401950Abstract: An assembly for vertically positioning a lamp-shade suspended by a cable comprises a socket member, a swivel cap adapted to engage the upper end of the socket member. The swivel cap has an off-center hole to receive the cable therethrough, the cap being adapted to be swivelled until the socket member has reached a vertical position. The assembly also includes an element for securing the cap and the socket member to one another when a vertical position is reached.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2006Date of Patent: July 22, 2008Assignee: Eclairage ContrasteInventor: Michael Larouche

Patent number: 6856098Abstract: An electronic converter converts high-voltage AC power main voltage, such as 120V, 240V or 277V, to a low-voltage suitable for driving a halogen lamp. The converter includes a rectifier circuit, starter circuit, a driver circuit, a current sensing circuit and a transformer circuit with an optional synchronous output rectifier. The current sensing circuit senses an output current of the converter. The sensed current is used to govern pulse-width modulation of the lamp drive voltage, to provide over-voltage protection. Temperature protection can also be provided to reduce drive current when the converter overheats. This enables reliable operation of the converter over an extended temperature range, and reduces the occurrence of converter component failures due to ground faults or overheating.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2002Date of Patent: February 15, 2005Assignee: Éclairage ContrasteInventor: Andrew D. Piaskowski

Patent number: 5609413Abstract: The disclosure herein describes an adjustable light fixture recessed in a ceiling or wall for directing light at various angles and including, within a hollow elongated housing, a pair of inverted U-shaped members pivotally mounted to one another about a horizontal axis. The assembly of the two U-shaped members may be further pivoted about a central vertical axis so that a light bulb and socket mounted in one of the U-shaped member may be angularly adjusted about two axes to provide light at various angles of illumination.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 1996Date of Patent: March 11, 1997Assignee: Eclairage ContrasteInventor: Michel Lecluze
