Abstract: A split luminaire having at least two sections that attach to one another, each section including an outer light transmitting cover and a housing. The housing includes partition with a rear side including a recess that extends upward from a bottom to a top edge of the housing. The recess defines a conduit through the assembled housings that is open on its top and bottom. A hollow tubular support is located within the conduit and permits wiring, cabling and/or other components to extend through the luminaire from the pole to above the housings. The tubular support has an upper and lower flanges. The upper flange provides a point for attachment of electrical components above the luminaire and the lower flange is attached to the top of a pole. One or more light sources are mounted within the luminaire.

Abstract: A mount for a light assembly in a luminaire has a base section and mounting arms upstanding from the base section. Each mounting arm has an upward length and a width and has a lower portion and an upper portion. Mounting pads for light sources are unitary with or attached to the mounting arm upper portions and have an upward length and a width. The width of the mounting pads extends in a direction oblique to the width of the mounting arm lower portions. Preferably, the length of the mounting pads extends in a direction oblique to the length of the mounting arm lower portions. Light sources mounted on the mounting pads may emit beams of light directed obliquely away from each other and obliquely towards the base.

Abstract: An outdoor lighting fixture using LEDs as a light source has a decorative housing that includes a cast metal dome roof and one or more LED light engines, wherein the light engines conductive metal substrate is in conformal contact with a portion of the inner surface of the roof, such that the roof provides increased heat sink mass and the outer surface of the roof provides a heat dissipative surface area outside of the housing. Preferred embodiments include a street light wherein two LED light engines are mounted at about 20 and 160 degrees to a line parallel to the street segment to produce an asymmetric light profile that reaches over and along the street for an effective distance, but does not extend very far on the side away from the street. Also disclosed is a reflector module for an LED light engine having rows of cone reflectors modified to produce an effective emission pattern.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a mailbox is disclosed comprising the steps of obtaining an extruded metal bar having a generally L-shaped cross section defining an elevation flange and a base flange, wherein the length of the elevation flange is selected to correspond to the desired height of the side walls of the mailbox and the length of the base flange is selected to correspond to one-half of the desired width of the mailbox floor. The outside face of the elevation flange has one or more areas shaped as a decorative molding detail to create the appearance of a case mailbox. The base flange has an inside face in a pattern of raised longitudinal ribs that define a grooved surface. The open channel of the mailbox is created by cutting two equal-length billets from the extruded bar, welding them together facing each other, attaching a back pate, a hinged door plate and an ornamental cast metal roof. The appearance of the finished box creates the illusion of a cast metal mailbox.
