    Abstract: A light emitting device includes a first light emitting element, a first light reflecting member and a lens member. The first light reflecting member is positioned with respect to the first light emitting element so that emitted light from the first light emitting element is divided into a portion of the emitted light from the first light emitting element irradiating onto the light reflecting face and a portion of the emitted light from the first light emitting element traveling outside of the light reflecting face by having an edge of the light reflecting face serve as a boundary. The lens member includes a reflected light passing region having a first lens shape configured to control the travelling direction of reflected light, and a non-reflected light passing region having a second lens shape configured to control a travelling direction of non-reflected light.

  • Patent number: 10845038
    Abstract: A twist-and-lock mounting bracket may secure a lighting fixture to a mounting surface. The twist-and-lock mounting bracket may define an aperture having features corresponding to the shape of a twist-and-lock element disposed on a housing of a lighting fixture. Accordingly, the twist-and-lock element may be configured to extend through the aperture while the corresponding features of the twist-and-lock element and the aperture are aligned. The housing may then be rotated such that the tabs do not align with the corresponding features of the aperture, and the twist-and-lock element is thereby prevented from sliding through the aperture. The mounting bracket may be secured to a junction box positioned within a mounting surface, or it may be secured to a biasing bracket having one or more second resilient members configured to engage the interior of a recessed can light, such that the lighting fixture may be secured to the recessed can light.
