  • Patent number: 8770779
    Abstract: A wall wash lighting fixture includes a light source, a light pipe below the light source and a reflector offset from and surrounding the lower end of the light pipe. The lower end of the light pipe has an oblique, light-emitting face that provides uniform wall illumination up to a high vertical angle. The reflector faces substantially away from the wall and provides room-side illumination below about 45 vertical degrees. A preferred embodiment is suited for retrofit recessed installation, especially where small-aperture downlights are desired.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7789522
    Abstract: A wallwash reflector assembly includes a downlight body mounted within a wallwash body, the wallwash body being of multi-piece construction including an active body having an upper wallwash reflector for illuminating a first portion of a wall and a wallside body having a lower wallwash reflector for illuminating for a second portion of the wall. The upper and lower wallwash reflectors are optically optimized to provide a smooth, imperceptible transition between the illumination provided to the wall by the upper wallwash reflector and the illumination provided to the wall by the lower wallwash reflector.

  • Patent number: 7740384
    Abstract: A lighting assembly comprising a socket member having a substantially tubular wall defining a cavity therein and a reflector having a first substantially tubular section telescopically received within the socket member side wall. The reflector includes first and second recesses in the first tubular section wherein the first recess is located at a first distance from an end of the first tubular section and the second recess is located at a second distance, greater than the first distance, from an end of the first tubular section. The lighting assembly includes a resilient or spring-biased member, such as a leaf spring, coupled to the socket member extending into the cavity wherein the socket member and reflector are adapted to be coupled together at first and second different positions with the first resilient member being receivable in the first recess in the first position and the first resilient member being receivable in the second recess in the second position.

  • Patent number: 7438433
    Abstract: A lighting fixture assembly with easy access to a junction box or electrical box having a mounting frame adapted to be coupled to a wall in an architectural space. Through an opening in the frame or ceiling, a luminaire is coupled to the mounting frame for projecting light through the opening. A support, such as a substantially U-shaped bracket having legs with first and second lengths, is coupled to the mounting frame and to the electrical box for supporting the electrical box in a position tilted towards the opening. This provides easy access and viewing through the opening from below the mounting frame when the luminaire is not located in the opening.
