  • Patent number: 11543102
    Abstract: A lighting fixture configured to expand and collapse, and methods for expanding and collapsing a light fixture are disclosed. Embodiments of the lighting fixture include a lighting fixture with a movable section that collapses into at least one cavity in a base housing for storage and shipment, and extends from the cavity for operation. In the collapsed configuration the lighting fixture fits into a smaller container than when the lighting fixture is in the expanded configuration. In some embodiments a locking member locks the movable section into its extended position and can be retracted by a user by manually disengaging the locking member. Accessories and extenders that can be attached to the lighting fixture can be stored in the one or more cavities into which the movable section is stowed in the collapsed configuration.

  • Patent number: 11520097
    Abstract: A single edge lit lighting module produces bi-lobed light distributions which provide targeted control of light output with peak intensity that is non-normal to the lighting module output face. The compact form factor of module embodiments having narrow width are particularly well-suited for use in linear lighting fixtures for suspended, surface and recessed lighting configurations typically used to illuminate walls, floors and/or ceilings. Embodiments of the single edge lit lighting module utilize reflectors in combination with light guides having volumetric light scattering properties and surface features to control peak intensities, output angles, and shapes of the two light output lobes. A variety of light distributions can be achieved including symmetrical bi-lobed distributions conventionally achieved by double edge lit modules. Further embodiments utilize selective alignment of light guide with reflector to achieve different asymmetric light distributions.

  • Publication number: 20220342141
    Abstract: A single edge lit lighting module is disclosed which produces tailored light distributions valuable in many illumination applications. The lighting module comprises a unique light scattering optical element which is aligned with one or more LED light sources along one of its edges and works in combination with configured reflective surfaces. Light distributions attainable using the invention include, but are not limited to, symmetric and asymmetric bi-lobed “batwing” distributions for wide area direct and indirect lighting, and tilted or asymmetric distributions for perimeter lighting. It is also possible to achieve more rounded and symmetric distributions by an additional diffuser as a cover lens. The invention's unique single edge lit construction provides the means for achieving the lighting distributions without the need for conventional two lit edges and within a compact form factor with narrow width.

  • Patent number: 11466842
    Abstract: A light shaping apparatus consisting of two or more components which may be die cast from aluminum, magnesium, or similar materials that are meant to be attached to existing LED venue lighting fixtures. These components are designed so that they can be rotated and adjusted on the fixture circumference/edge. A semi-circular snoot flares out slightly from the outer edge of the fixture to reflect light that would normally be absorbed by a visor. The snoot may include a reflector on its inside surface. The snoot has connection points that mate with the fixture. The snoot also has connection points which allow it to be connected to a semi-circular bowl spaded brow adapted for cutting into the beam of light and block some of light emitted from the fixture. The brow is preferably one piece and has multiple sets of thin shear lines cast into it such that the length of the brow can be modified by breaking off material along the shear lines.
