  • 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: 9759416
    Abstract: A luminaire has a housing plate on which a circuit board rests. The circuit board has light sources for generating light and circuit board bosses. A lens is biased toward the circuit board and contacts a distal end of the circuit board bosses to press the circuit board against the housing plate.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20150055353
    Abstract: A luminaire having a housing with a column extending therefrom and a bracket secured to the column, the bracket having a body and two wings extending from opposing sides of the body, at least a portion of each wing extending in a direction at least partially away from the column. The mounting bracket allows installation of the luminaire to a structure, such as a ceiling or canopy, by inserting the luminaire column and bracket into an aperture in the structure from the underside of the structure. The aperture edge forces the wings to flex inward as the column advances through the aperture until the wings pass the aperture edge and spring outward to hold the luminaire to the structure. The mounting bracket thus facilitates quick attachment of the luminaire to the structure and allows attachment of additional mounting hardware to further secure the luminaire to the structure.
