  • Patent number: 12078306
    Abstract: A linear light fixture for use in a hazardous environment, the linear light fixture includes a housing body that defines a component compartment therein that is configured to receive electrical components. The linear light fixture also includes a light engine connected to the housing body and including a light emitting diode. The light engine is pivotable with respect to the housing body between a first position, wherein the light engine encloses the component compartment, and a second position, wherein access is provided to the component compartment. The light engine is separable from the housing body.

  • Patent number: 11835200
    Abstract: A light fixture includes a light housing defining an interior space. A light source is at least partially disposed in the interior space of the light housing. A driver housing is attached to the light housing and defines an interior space. A driver is disposed in the interior space of the driver housing for providing electricity to the light source. The driver is configured for connection to a main power source for energizing the light fixture. A battery is disposed in the interior space of the driver housing and is configured to provide backup power to the light fixture in the event of a loss of power from the main power source.

  • Patent number: 11473768
    Abstract: A thermally conductive polymer luminaire includes a polymer housing including at least one thermally conductive filler to configure the polymer housing as a thermally conductive polymer housing. The housing includes an inner surface, an outer surface, and a thickness extending between the inner surface and outer surface. The thickness varies along a length of the housing. An electrical component is mounted to the inner surface of the housing opposite a location of the housing having a reduced thickness to facilitate thermal energy release from the housing. A light source is mounted to the housing and electrically connected to the electrical component for emitting light from the housing.
