Abstract: A lightbar assembly connector for use in a modular lightbar system to connect two or more lightbar assemblies together and having a design and configuration that enables the lightbar assembly connector and lightbar assemblies to be connected by moving the lightbar assembly connector in a direction generally transverse to the longitudinal axis of the lightbar assembly (or by moving the lightbar assembly in a direction generally transverse to the major surface of the lightbar assembly connector). It is thus possible to assemble a modular lightbar system comprised of a plurality of lightbar assemblies and lightbar assembly connectors, any of which are easily removable, replaceable, or serviceable without having to remove or move lightbar assemblies that do not need to be replaced or serviced.

Abstract: A solid-state lighting fixture assembly having a lighting fixture with a socket configured to receive a plug associated with one or more accessories to allow for easy in-field mounting of accessories, e.g., controls, onto installed lighting fixtures. The socket may be internally electrically connected to an auxiliary power output of a driver and/or to a battery power pack within the lighting fixture assembly, thereby providing direct-current voltage power for the accessory and, also, allowing for signal transmission to and from the accessory. Each accessory includes one or more sensors and communication components to provide the connected lighting fixture assembly with specific capabilities including, but not limited to, motion detection, ambient light level detection, ambient temperature measurement and wireless communications.

Abstract: An adjustable, modular flood light fixture is provided herein which includes a plurality of light modules, each including an enclosure and a luminaire configured to generate light, the luminaire being pivotably mounted to the enclosure. The light modules are serially connected with the luminaires of the light modules being each independently, pivotably adjustable. Advantageously, with the subject invention, the size of an illuminated area may be controlled by the number of light modules being used, with pivoting adjustment allowing further control over how light from each of the light modules is directed.

Abstract: A modular vapor-tight light fixture is provided herein which generally includes first and second vapor-tight light modules, and a coupling for connecting the first and second vapor-tight light modules. Each of the vapor-tight light modules includes: a channel housing; a lens secured to the channel housing; a plurality of solid state light generating elements; and, first and second end caps. Each of the channel housings includes first and second rails which each define a mounting channel. The coupling includes mounting strip portions configured such that, with the first and second vapor-tight light modules being adjacent, the mounting strip portions are simultaneously received in the mounting channels of both the first and second vapor-tight light modules. Advantageously, with the subject invention, fully enclosed vapor-tight light modules may be provided at shorter lengths which are connected by the coupling to provide a fixture comparable in length to prior-art vapor-tight light fixtures.

Abstract: An assembly is provided herein for a lighting fixture and for retrofitting a flush mounted light fixture to be provided with solid state lighting.

Abstract: An adjustable hanging element is provided herein for suspended light fixtures which allows for adjustment of a point of contact for suspension both upon initial installation and while installed, without the need for taking the fixture down.

Abstract: A modular light system comprising a lightbar assembly with first and second conductive parts, each of which extend in a direction generally transverse to a longitudinal axis of the lightbar assembly. The modular lightbar system further comprises a lightbar assembly connector having a major surface and with a conductive part that extends in a direction generally transverse to the major surface. Such a design and configuration enables the lightbar assembly connector and lightbar assembly to be connected by moving the lightbar assembly connector in a direction generally transverse to the longitudinal axis of the lightbar assembly (or by moving the lightbar assembly in a direction generally transverse to the major surface of the lightbar assembly connector).

Abstract: A surface mounted LED light structure has a V-shaped channel with opposed legs and a flat central portion. A flat base strip is attached to each leg. The strips each have a pair of electrically conductive traces. A plurality of LEDs is arrayed along the base strips and electrically connected to the traces. A diffuser is disposed over the LEDs. A spacer sleeve holds the diffuser over the channel central portion. A driver is mounted adjacent the channel and is connected to the conductive traces and to the power source.
