  • Patent number: 7631993
    Abstract: A trim ring for a vandal resistant luminaire, the trim ring is disposed about an electrical component housing and a lens and holds the lens to the electrical component housing. The trim ring is designed to protect the luminaire by absorbing physical shock exerted on the luminaire and provide an aesthetic pleasing design. Twist locks depend from an inner annular surface of the trim ring which cooperate with retaining legs on the electrical component housing providing for access to the internal components of the vandal resistant luminaire.

  • Publication number: 20070253199
    Abstract: A vandal resistant luminaire having an electrical component housing with an outwardly extending rim separating a front portion from a rear portion; the front portion has a gasket ring about a front edge, at least one lamp socket, wiring, and associated electrical components contained therein; a shock absorbing gasket is mounted on the gasket ring and a lens with a rear edge removeably sealed against the gasket by means of a front trim ring that surrounds an outer portion of the lens and an outer portion of the front portion of the electrical component housing. Optionally, the vandal resistant luminaire has a rear trim ring surrounding a rear portion of the electrical component housing having a shock absorbing configuration and a substantially flat rear mating surface eliminating pry points between the vandal resistant luminaire and a surface too which it is mounted. Additionally, the front trim ring may depend about the lens forming a pattern thereon such as a grid pattern or a graphical display area.
