  • Junction box lid and a junction box incorporating the lid
    Patent number: 11456583
    Abstract: A lid for a junction box includes a structure which is arranged to connect and seal an opening of the junction box. The sealing prevents the ingress of foreign matter such as liquids or solid particles into the junction box. The structure is, or includes, a window that is transparent to visible light to enable visual inspection inside the junction box. The lid includes a cover that is opaque to UV or UV-IR wavelengths and is arranged to selectively: (a) shield the transparent portion of the structure from direct impingement of a wavelength or a band of wavelengths to prevent transmission of the wavelength or a band of wavelengths into the junction box; and (b) enable visual inspection inside of the junction box through the transparent portion.
