  • Strain relief and joint support
    Patent number: 9601866
    Abstract: A joint support and strain relief that provides support for the entire joint between a power cord and a strip light is disclosed. The joint support and strain relief is comprised of a cuff portion that defines a curved interior channel designed to cradle a power cord and a contiguous spade portion in the form of a thin, flat, generally rectangular plate. The strip light is typically secured to the spade portion with adhesive. The spade portion may have sidewalls to assist with the alignment of the strip light, and those sidewalls may have attached to their upper edges horizontally inwardly-extending tabs parallel to and above the bottom of the spade portion. The joint support and strain relief may also have tabs with holes or openings that allow the piece to be attached to a substrate.

  • LED linear lighting kit
    Patent number: 9565769
    Abstract: An LED lighting kit comprises an extrusion (300), an LED strip (100), a tapered wedge (1500), and a mounting clip (1200). The extrusion itself may have a recessed linear groove of sufficient width and depth to seat the LED strip. The clip is sized and shaped to springably engage ledges (320) in a first channel (310) of the extrusion when the strip is mounted. In one aspect, two extrusions are butted end-to-end and are aligned by inserting the tapered wedge into the first channel of each extrusion prior to butting them together. The extrusion contains a second channel (315) that houses the LED strip. A translucent diffuser (900) is springably inserted into the second channel, thereby diffusing light that is emitted by the LED strip.

  • LED Circuit With Multiple Switch Configurations
    Publication number: 20170019962
    Abstract: An LED dimmer circuit has a constant current source, a dual pole, dual throw (DPDT) switch and two arrays of LEDs. In one position of the DPDT switch, the arrays are in series; in the other position the arrays are in parallel. When the arrays are connected in series, all the current from the constant current source flows through both arrays and illumination is high. When the arrays are in parallel, the current from the constant current source equally divides. The one or more printed circuit boards may use one constant current source when the DPDT switch is in one position and a different constant current source when the DPDT switch is in another position.
