  • Patent number: 10260730
    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.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8104929
    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.
