  • Publication number: 20170059101
    Abstract: A troffer door assembly includes a frame assembly having a plurality of interconnected frame members, a lens member retained by at least one of the plurality of interconnected frame members, a connecting member coupled to the frame assembly and configured to detachably couple the troffer door assembly to a housing of a troffer light fixture, a rigid brace member, and a plurality of LEDs attached to the rigid brace member. The rigid brace member includes a heat conductive material configured to dissipate heat produced by the plurality of LEDs. At least two of the plurality of interconnected frame members include a heat conductive material, and the rigid brace member is thermally coupled with the at least two of the plurality of interconnected frame members such that both the rigid brace member and the frame assembly dissipate heat produced by the plurality of LEDs.

  • Patent number: 9494286
    Abstract: A troffer door assembly has a frame assembly, a lens member and a light emitting diode (LED) assembly. The rigid brace member is affixed to the frame assembly such that the rigidity of the frame assembly is increased. Hinge members and latch members are positioned in exterior slots on the frame assembly such that the location of the hinge members and latch members can be adjusted. In this manner installed troffer light fixtures can be retrofitted by replacing the installed troffer door with the troffer door assembly as described.

  • Patent number: 8888313
    Abstract: A troffer door assembly having a heat conductive frame assembly, a lens member and a light emitting diode (LED) assembly having a rigid heat conductive brace member, wherein the rigid brace member is affixed to the frame assembly such that the rigidity of the frame assembly is increased and such that heat is passed from the rigid brace member to the frame assembly. Hinge members and latch members are positioned in exterior slots on the frame assembly such that the location of the hinge members and latch members can be adjusted. In this manner installed troffer light fixtures can be retrofitted by replacing the installed troffer door with the troffer door assembly as described.
