  • Patent number: 7186008
    Abstract: An improved recessed lighting fixture allowing illumination from a lighting unit placed within a cavity of a planar surface, such as a ceiling or wall. The invention facilitates the ability to properly aim illumination because the user can aim the fixture while it is in place and illuminated. The invention is additionally designed to allow the substitution of lamps/light bulbs without requiring re-aiming of the fixture and to be used without modification with ceiling materials of varying thickness. The invention also includes an azimuthal adjustment mechanism wherein the lamp is mounted on a gimbal having a rack and pinion coupling to rotate the gimbal under control of a screw accessible from the exterior of the fixture and a horizontal aiming system.

  • Patent number: 6032432
    Abstract: A modular panel and method for constructing light fixtures. The modular panel includes an elongated main panel with a curved cross section. The panel is preferably manufactured using an extrusion process. The side edges of the panel feature a pair of spaced-apart lips defining an elongated slot or receiving area for mateably accommodating a cooperating side edge of an adjacent part or panel for a tongue-in-groove connection. The panel has evenly spaced fins along the surface to provide structural integrity as well as to scatter light passing through the panel. Multiple panels being assembled with adjacent intermediate adjoining panels forming a housing having a closed cross section.

  • Patent number: 5014460
    Abstract: A streamlined housing contains an omnidirectional circular light source, an airflow channel with a flow restriction located just below the light source, and a motor driven fan with the fan blade located just below the restricted flow section of the airflow channel. The light source may be selectively directed by a movable reflecting screen. The fan motor and light source may be powered by a 12-volt D.C. source. The airflow channel is shaped to funnel airflow around the light source through the flow restricted area at high velocity, throwing the insects into a base container with deadly force. The base container has a large exhaust port and forms a part of the airflow channel. The airflow channel also acts to funnel and disperse the light from the light source so that the ground below the light source, as well as all directions above the level of the light source, are illuminated.
