Abstract: A modular recessed light system employs a frame which secures a mounting ring on one side of a ceiling opening and receives a ceiling collar with a circumferential flange on the other side of the ceiling opening. The mounting ring and the ceiling collar are clamped to opposing sides surrounding the ceiling opening. The collar mounts a pair of clamp members which engage slots of a light module which is insertable into the ceiling opening and retained in recessed relationship with the ceiling. The light module may be a down light module or an angularly adjustable light module. In addition, a trim assembly, which may have a square trim with a down light lens, a square trim with an angled lens, a circular trim with a down light lens or a circular flange with an angled lens are also each releasably retained to the housing by magnetic bonding. A mud or plaster ring may also be optionally mounted over the circumferential flange of the ceiling collar and secured to the mounting ring.

Abstract: An exit sign includes a main body, a front panel and at least one light source. The main body includes a rear portion, a peripheral side portion and an opening. The peripheral side portion has a first translucent area which is U-shaped. The front panel is received in the opening and includes a symbol indicating a location of a building exit, with the symbol establishing a second translucent area. The at least one light source emits light through the first and second translucent areas, with the first translucent area providing lighting directly in front of the exit sign, directly below the exit sign and directly on either side of the exit sign. The exit sign is particularly configured to be mounted low on a hallway wall to enable a person crawling below a level of smoke in the hallway to be visually guided to an exit door.

Abstract: An integrated recessed lighting assembly with an outer frame and inner sleeve with an electronics unit fixed to the outer frame. The frame is fixable to a building member with a portion within the recess opening and the electronics unit concealed behind the building member. Brackets are fixed to the frame and provide multi-directional slots for maintaining the inner sleeve via cooperative projections. The inner sleeve is slidable along a portion of the slots from a lower position with its terminal edge distal to the frame distal edge to a raised position with its terminal edge proximal to the frame proximal edge and building member, and then slidable along another portion of the slots to an offset position at least partially concealed by the building member to open an access opening through the frame to the electronics unit.

Abstract: A compact exit sign includes a main body having an open frontal portion, an annular side wall portion and a rear panel portion including a central opening extending across greater than half of the rear panel, and a front plate including a face portion provided with exit indicia. The exit sign can be selectively converted between single and double face exit signs by snap-connecting a first, solid and non-transparent insert to the main body across the central opening of the rear panel to establish a single face exit sign and snap-connecting a second, exit indicia containing insert to the main body across the central opening of the rear panel to establish a double face exit sign. A lighting system is housed within the main body for illuminating the exit indicia for either of the single or double face configurations.

Abstract: An LED light fixture includes an integrally formed unitary housing having a first portion and second portion laterally adjacent to one another. The first and second portions at least partially define separate illuminating and wiring compartments. The illuminating compartment houses a plurality of light emitting diodes and a reflector. The illuminating compartment is partially defined by a frame and a lens mounted to the first portion of the housing. The wiring compartment has at least one wall defined by a door. The door is pivotably attached to the housing. A driver for the plurality of light emitting diodes is mounted to the door for movement with the door.

Abstract: An LED luminaire includes a thermal management system and features minimal glare while allowing for use of traditional luminaire housing. The luminaire of the depicted embodiments includes a luminaire housing, an LED light module, an LED driver, a diffuser, and reflectors. The LED light module includes at least one LED array, a primary thermal interface, and a secondary thermal interface. These thermal interfaces, particularly when used in conjunction with a conductive housing, allow for optimal thermal management by utilizing both natural convection and conduction to remove the heat from inside the luminaire into the surrounding air. Additionally, in certain embodiments, the position of the LED arrays within the housing in combination with the reflector design creates an optical path resulting in an indirect light source that minimizes glare, while providing a uniform distribution of light, unlike traditional LED luminaires.

Abstract: A tab locked reflector assembly system includes a reflector member and a top plate. The reflector member has a body section and multiple tabs extending upwardly from an upper edge of the body section. The top plate has multiple slots with each tab of the reflector being received within a corresponding slot of the top plate. The reflector member is mounted to the top plate by inserting the tabs through the corresponding slots and bending the tabs orthogonally to the reflector member body section.

Abstract: A combination exit sign and emergency light is provided, wherein the emergency light is disposed along a bottom, portion of the exit sign. The bottom portion of the housing is formed with a recessed section intermediate opposing side flange portions, with a light bar incorporating LEDs being mounted in the recess section to provide emergency lighting during power outages and emergency situations. The bar is white in color on the outside, except a bottom portion of the bar is left clear for the free transmission of light. With this construction, at least a substantial majority of fight generated by the LEDs will be directed out of the bottom portion, while the side portions are also preferably lit thereby providing a more intense light out of the bottom portion to assure adequate illumination leading to a suitable exit.

Abstract: A debris shield for a rotary tool or machine for collecting debris generated while cutting or drilling holes in a work surface has a debris collection housing having a top structure, side walls depending from said top cover structure to form a debris collection chamber, an open bottom with a surface contact rim, and a compression axis extending through the housing's top structure and bottom opening. In one aspect of the invention, the debris collection housing is a bellows housing with a vacuum port, and has a shank-holding and vent assembly in top structure of the bellows housing for receiving and rotatably holding the shank of a rotary surface working implement such as a drill bit, spade bit or hole saw. In another aspect of the invention the debris collection housing can be either a bellows type housing or rigid housing, and can have a vacuum port or not.
