  • Patent number: 12292181
    Abstract: A canopy luminaire mounting system includes a canopy socket assembly configured to be mounted to canopy structure. A canopy luminaire includes a mating connector assembly that is configured to be received by the canopy socket assembly. The canopy luminaire is removably secured to the canopy socket assembly in response to relative rotation of the canopy luminaire and the canopy socket assembly. The canopy socket assembly may include at least one electrical contact and the mating connector assembly of the canopy luminaire may include at least one second electrical contact that cooperates with the at least one first electrical contact to establish an electrical connection therebetween in response to the relative rotation of the canopy luminaire and the canopy socket assembly.

  • Patent number: 11668443
    Abstract: An uplight device for use with a luminaire that has a housing configured to be supported from a surface by a stem with a wireway. The uplight device includes a body having a radially outwardly directed annular flange, a vertically oriented annular rim encircling the annular flange, and a passageway extending through the body, and an uplight substrate supported on a first side of the annular flange. The uplight substrate includes a plurality of light emitting sources arranged in an array on a first side of the uplight substrate. The uplight device further includes an optical lens covering the first side of the annular flange and the uplight substrate. The body of the uplight device is configured to be coupled between the stem and housing of the luminaire such that the passageway communicates with the wireway of the stem and a chamber of the luminaire.

  • Patent number: 11365850
    Abstract: A retrofit LED canopy luminaire assembly is provided that is configured for mounting with a canopy fixture supported by a canopy deck and having a fixture base located beneath the canopy deck, a lamp socket housing operatively connected to, and extending upwardly from the fixture base and through the canopy deck, and a ballast housing located above the canopy deck and operatively connected to the lamp socket housing. The retrofit LED canopy luminaire assembly includes a retrofit adapter bracket, a retrofit LED canopy luminaire configured to be mounted to the retrofit adapter bracket, and a wire guide body supported within the lamp socket housing that is configured to route electrical leads extending outwardly from the retrofit LED canopy luminaire through the wire guide body and into the ballast housing.

  • Publication number: 20150092410
    Abstract: A luminaire is disclosed having a lighting element mount which can have a base and one or more wings acting has heat dissipation fins. A lighting element (e.g. a PCB populated with LEDs) can be mounted (e.g. directly) to the base of the lighting element mount to conduct heat away from the lighting element. The lighting element mount can be incorporated into the luminaire so as to associate the lighting elements with apertures in the luminaire, thus allowing the lighting elements to be protrude to the bottom of the luminaire while the wings extend rearward of the luminaire and both the base and the wings of the lighting element mount are exposed to ambient air.
