Abstract: A security lighting system is provided for convenient mounting to a standard electrical junction box. The security light fixture includes a housing, a cantilevered arm extending from the housing, and a back plate on an end of the cantilevered arm. The back plate has a reinforced attachment structure capable of supporting the bending moment of the heavy, cantilevered light structure. The attachment structure may include, for example, a reinforced cone. The back plate and cantilevered arm may be integrally formed for convenient manufacturing and added structural strength. The fixture may include a cross bar for attaching to the junction box, with the cross bar serving to interconnect the junction box with the back plate. In one embodiment, the security lighting system provides an option of electrically interconnecting the system to a standard j-box or, alternatively, to an electrical conduit, as desired.

Abstract: A lighting system producing a light pattern that is customized in the field by the end user to minimize light pollution. A housing supports a light source that is connected to a power supply. The housing defines an interior chamber. An opaque or low visible light transmissivity shield is bent or formed into a generally tubular shape and is inserted into the chamber surrounding the light source. The shield includes folds, perforations, pre-scoring, grooves, and the like defining sections that can be easily detached to create windows. The windows permit outgoing light to pass while the remaining areas of the shield attenuate or block the outgoing light. The shield includes teeth that engage respective recesses in the housing to prevent rotation of the shield once installed.
Abstract: A modular display stand for holding a plurality of lighting products is disclosed. The modular display stand is constructed from a plurality of modular units, each modular unit having two panels joined at a common edge to form a V-shape. The panel includes apertures for mounting the lighting products and a power strip for supplying electricity to the lighting products. The modular units are arranged so that one panel of a modular unit overlaps the panel of a second modular unit, wherein the overlapping panels are joined by a fastener. This arrangement is repeated so that the joined, complementary panels extend radially. Each modular unit can optionally be connected end-to-end or mounted against a wall, floor, or ceiling.
