  • 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: 11525553
    Abstract: A luminaire (500) comprising a linearly polarized light source (200) and a collimating reflector (301) arranged to collimate light from the light source towards an optical axis OA. The reflective inner surface of the reflector comprises at least one set of grooves (306), or four spaced zones of grooves, which each extend in a respective plane including the optical axis. Each groove comprises two flat side surfaces to cause light from the light source to undergo a double reflection in the groove, to avoid rotation of each beamlet and thus to reduce loss of imaging of the source. This partly preserves the linear polarization of the source, for use in reducing glare in displays or from lights on the road, or enhancing sparkle for illuminating jewellery.
