Patent number: 10563830Abstract: A split luminaire having at least two sections that attach to one another, each section including an outer light transmitting cover and a housing. The housing includes partition with a rear side including a recess that extends upward from a bottom to a top edge of the housing. The recess defines a conduit through the assembled housings that is open on its top and bottom. A hollow tubular support is located within the conduit and permits wiring, cabling and/or other components to extend through the luminaire from the pole to above the housings. The tubular support has an upper and lower flanges. The upper flange provides a point for attachment of electrical components above the luminaire and the lower flange is attached to the top of a pole. One or more light sources are mounted within the luminaire.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2019Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: Spring City Electrical Manufacturing CompanyInventors: Daniel A. Kovalchick, Michael Greck

Patent number: 10260730Abstract: A mount for a light assembly in a luminaire has a base section and mounting arms upstanding from the base section. Each mounting arm has an upward length and a width and has a lower portion and an upper portion. Mounting pads for light sources are unitary with or attached to the mounting arm upper portions and have an upward length and a width. The width of the mounting pads extends in a direction oblique to the width of the mounting arm lower portions. Preferably, the length of the mounting pads extends in a direction oblique to the length of the mounting arm lower portions. Light sources mounted on the mounting pads may emit beams of light directed obliquely away from each other and obliquely towards the base.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2017Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: Spring City Electrical Mfg. Co.Inventors: Daniel Kovalchick, Bryan Rash, Michael Greck, Alan Brink

Publication number: 20160053982Abstract: A pendant mounted lighting fixture has a decorative housing that includes a cast metal body and two light engines. The body is a single-piece casting that may have a separate door. Each light engine contains LEDs on a circuit board in contact with the inner surface of the body. The body provides heat sink mass with heat dissipation through its outside surface. The light engines are may be mounted at acute angles such that the light from the two light engines is emitted in lobes that expand outside to create an asymmetric overall light profile. Each light engine may have an array of LEDs flat on the circuit board without raised reflectors. Each LED may be covered by a transparent dome lens. Refraction at the surface of the dome lenses directs the light from the LEDs into a desired distribution.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2015Publication date: February 25, 2016Applicant: SPRING CITY MFG.

Patent number: 8104929Abstract: An outdoor lighting fixture using LEDs as a light source has a decorative housing that includes a cast metal dome roof and one or more LED light engines, wherein the light engines conductive metal substrate is in conformal contact with a portion of the inner surface of the roof, such that the roof provides increased heat sink mass and the outer surface of the roof provides a heat dissipative surface area outside of the housing. Preferred embodiments include a street light wherein two LED light engines are mounted at about 20 and 160 degrees to a line parallel to the street segment to produce an asymmetric light profile that reaches over and along the street for an effective distance, but does not extend very far on the side away from the street. Also disclosed is a reflector module for an LED light engine having rows of cone reflectors modified to produce an effective emission pattern.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2009Date of Patent: January 31, 2012Assignee: Spring City Electrical Manufacturing CompanyInventors: Daniel A.
