Patent number: 10584864Abstract: A downlight lighting assembly comprising a plurality of notches and engaging members to ease the alignment and assembly of the components. The downlight lighting assembly comprises an LED chip removably connected to a heatsink with a mixing chamber secured to the heatsink, where securing the mixing chamber to the heatsink provides the compressive force for an LED connector to engage and provide the electrical connection to the LED chip. The heatsink also has a plurality of protrusions on its upper edge to engage a lower wall of a reflector to secure the reflector to the lighting assembly.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2017Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: Focal Point, LLCInventors: Johanna Blake, James Cullen, Walter Mayorga, Edwin Vice, Jr., Ken Czech

Publication number: 20170314760Abstract: A luminaire has a light engine configured to be attached to a light source circuit board or LED module. The light engine may have a block structure with a cavity extending into the block structure from an aperture. The light engine may also have a slot, extending through a sidewall of the block into the cavity perpendicular to a first direction. The slot may form a mounting surface that has a larger surface area than an area of the aperture, onto which the circuit board or LED module may be attached. Further, the circuit board or LED module may be removable from the cavity and slidable through the slot.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2016Publication date: November 2, 2017Inventors: Edwin Vice, JR., Ken Czech, Mohamed Aslam Khazi, Josue Moctezuma, Scott Pahl, Zach Payne
