Abstract: A lighting appliance includes a housing, a lighting element disposed in the housing is capable of displaying multiple color temperatures, a control unit disposed in the housing, an electrical communication system in communication with the lighting element and the control unit, and a sensor disposed on a portion of the housing, where the sensor is in communication with the lighting element and the control unit via the electrical communication system, and when a motion signal is detected by the sensor, the control unit is configured to instruct the lighting element to illuminate in a predetermined light mode for a predetermined time.

Abstract: An anchor fastener is described. The anchor fastener includes a head, a generally cylindrical shaft extending from the head, a base at a distal end of the shaft, and at least one frangible portion configured to frangibly connect the shaft to the base. The shaft includes a helical thread that extends along an outer surface of the shaft towards the distal end of the shaft. The frangible portions are separable from the base and the shaft under application of a force to the shaft. The base includes a distal surface and an engagement portion configured to engage an object to be anchored to a mounting surface and configured to hold the anchor fastener to the object before installation of the shaft through the object and into the mounting surface. The base includes a thread guide configured to support the helical thread during installation of the shaft.

Abstract: An anchor fastener includes a head, a generally cylindrical shaft extending from the head, and a base at a distal end of the shaft. The shaft includes a helical thread on an outer surface and a self-drilling tip at its distal end adjacent the base. The base is frangibly connected to the distal end of the shaft by at least one web of frangible material separable from at least one of the base and the shaft under application of a force to the shaft.

Abstract: A suspension bracket for a lighting fixture of the type used in residential or commercial buildings. The bracket provides a center mounting point for a shade while allowing a lighting element to be positioned in the center of the fixture, rather than to the side of the shade mounting point.
