  • Patent number: 11073255
    Abstract: A downlight eyebrow includes an elongated L-shaped structure including a first wall and a second wall forming a right angle. The downlight eyebrow may be installed at an upper edge of a vertical structure with the first eyebrow wall extending horizontally away from an upper edge of the structure and the second wall extending vertically downward from the first wall. A reflective material disposed on an interior surface of the second wall provides a primary reflector. A flange that extends from an intermediate point in the eyebrow, downward and away from the second wall, toward the vertical surface may provide a secondary reflector.

  • Publication number: 20190301707
    Abstract: A disclosed downlight eyebrow includes an elongated L-shaped structure including a first wall and a second wall that may form an angle of approximately 90 degrees. The downlight eyebrow may be installed at or in proximity to an upper edge of a wall, fascia, or other type of vertical structure with the first wall of the eyebrow extending horizontally away from an upper edge of the vertical structure. In this configuration, the second wall of the downlight eyebrow may be oriented in a vertical or substantially vertical plane, extending downward from the first wall, parallel or substantially parallel with the illuminated region and displace from the illuminated region by a width of the first wall. In some embodiments, a reflective material, film, or coating may be disposed on an interior surface of the second wall of the downlight eyebrow, wherein the interior surface of the second wall functions as the primary reflector.

  • Patent number: 10400960
    Abstract: A lighting assembly includes an LED string affixed to a lamp support connected between first and second lighting sockets and includes an non-conductive coupling and a pair of conductive support segments. Each support segment is connected between the coupling a corresponding lighting socket, either directly or via an intervening endcap. The LED string includes an LED module and a pair of interconnects. The LED module includes one or more LEDs and power circuitry for coupling a supply voltage to the LEDs. The interconnect pair may include positive and negative interconnects. A fixed end of each interconnect is electrically and mechanically connected to a corresponding support segment. The first support segment is electrically coupled to a positive terminal of a voltage source and the second support segment is electrically coupled to a negative terminal of the voltage source, the interconnect pair conveys a supply voltage to each LED module.

  • Patent number: 10024501
    Abstract: An illumination apparatus includes a monolithic support substrate and light emitting diodes (LEDs) on one or more external sides of the support substrate. The support substrate may comprise an elongated extrusion enclosing a hollow core. The LEDs may be affixed to rigid or flexible electrical substrates. Each electrical substrate may be affixed to an external side of the extrusion and may include embedded LED circuitry. The hollow core may enable the extrusion to be received in a recessed socket of a light fixture, wherein the recessed socket provides structural support for the applicable end of the extrusion, rendering end caps or end socket adapters unnecessary. The light fixture may include a contact protruding from the recessed socket and the electrical substrates may include circuitry configured to couple the LEDs to a source of power not coupled to the protruding contact.
