Publication number: 20260194218Abstract: A solid-state lighting fixture assembly having a lighting fixture with a socket configured to receive a plug associated with one or more accessories to allow for easy in-field mounting of accessories, e.g., controls, onto installed lighting fixtures. The socket may be internally electrically connected to an auxiliary power output of a driver and/or to a battery power pack within the lighting fixture assembly, thereby providing direct-current voltage power for the accessory and, also, allowing for signal transmission to and from the accessory. Each accessory includes one or more sensors and communication components to provide the connected lighting fixture assembly with specific capabilities including, but not limited to, motion detection, ambient light level detection, ambient temperature measurement and wireless communications.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2026Publication date: July 9, 2026Inventors: Ramesh Raghavan, Aymen Chami, Eric Clohosey, Stephen Andrew Entrekin, Xiaoming Dai

Publication number: 20250354676Abstract: A solid-state canopy light fixture is provided herein having independently controllable sets (and subsets) of solid-state light generating elements to alter light patterns particularly to generate different light temperatures and different light beam angles. As recognized in the lighting industry, solid-state lighting may be rated based on CCT (correlated color temperature). The subject invention allows for CCT adjustment. In addition, the subject invention allows for light beams of different beam angles which allow for different areas of lighting (ranging from narrower to broader light beam angles). The subject invention allows for alteration of these light settings without physical retrofit of the light fixture.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2025Publication date: November 20, 2025Inventors: Eric Clohosey, Stephen Andrew Entrekin

Publication number: 20250257864Abstract: The invention is a solid-state canopy light fixture featuring a box-shaped housing with a base panel and four side panels that define an interior volume. The top opening allows access to this volume. A hinge member is on the first side panel, while a rib with a hole for a fastener is on the second side panel. The lens tray, with a base tray panel and a continuous side wall, includes a tray hinge member and a tray rib with a second hole. The tray hinge connects to the housing hinge, allowing the lens tray to rotate between two positions. A diffuser lens, secured within the side wall, and a board with solid-state lighting elements are included. A sealing element is adjacent to the lens edge. This design enables easy installation by eliminating the need to fully remove the diffuser lens.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2025Publication date: August 14, 2025Inventors: Eric Clohosey, Stephen Entrekin
