Patent number: 11306877Abstract: An example embodiment of a backlit lamp comprises a housing, a forward facing directional light source and a rear facing directional light source. The housing may comprise a bowl portion comprising a first joining end and a forward emitting end; and a neck portion comprising a second joining end. The bowl and neck portions are joined at the first and second joining ends. The forward facing directional light source is mounted within the housing and configured to emit light in the direction of the forward emitting end. The rear facing directional light source is mounted within the housing and configured to emit light in an opposite direction from the light emitted by the forward facing directional light source. In an example embodiment, the forward facing and rear facing directional light source comprise light emitting diodes (LEDs).Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2020Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: Feit Electric Company, Inc.Inventors: Alan Barry Feit, Jose Mata

Patent number: 11236890Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2020Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: Feit Electric Company, Inc.Inventors: Alan Barry Feit, Brian Halliwell
