  • Patent number: 11448384
    Abstract: An adjustable lighting apparatus includes a lighting module that is rotatably adjustable about a first rotation axis relative to an adjustable mount. The lighting module may include a heat sink, a driver, and a light source. The adjustable mount may include a base structure, a retainer, a shield, and a secondary shield. A trim may also be coupled to the adjustable mount. In some implementations, the lighting module translates along a first translation axis defined by the adjustable mount while rotating about the first rotation axis in order to reorient the light source while reducing shading losses caused by the adjustable mount. Openings in the base structure and the shield may be substantially covered at all rotational positions of the lighting module using a combination of the shield, the trim, the heat sink, and the secondary shield, thus eliminating the need for an additional enclosure.

  • Patent number: 11391442
    Abstract: A recessed lighting system includes multiple components formed from a polymer to reduce the number of components in the system, lower the cost of manufacture, and simplify the installation of the recessed lighting system. In one example, a recessed lighting system includes a housing formed from a polymer, a hanger bar assembly, a light module, and a trim. A yoke may be installed into the housing to provide greater accessibility to mount the light module and/or trim to the housing. A partition plate may be installed to push back wires/cables disposed in the housing such that the cavity of the housing is divided into a wiring compartment containing the wires/cables and a lighting compartment containing the light module and the trim. A hanger bar assembly may also be coupled to the housing to couple the recessed lighting system to a building structure (e.g., a T-bar, a joist, a stud).
