  • Patent number: 7806570
    Abstract: An elongated indirect lighting fixture having a upwardly directed shallow concave sheet element suspended at its ends with spars interconnected along the outer marginal edges of the reflector element. The spars are preformed in an upward and inward direction to resist sagging both in a downward direction and an outward direction so that the lighting fixture, as represented by the sheet element, is substantially linear.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7762695
    Abstract: A light fixture coupling system includes a plurality of lamp housings, a plurality of elongated wireways, and a mounting plate. The plurality of elongated wireways each includes a proximal end and a distal end, each of the distal ends coupled with a corresponding lamp housing. The mounting plate is positioned within each of the proximal ends, is used to couple each of the proximal ends together relative to one another, and is configured for being used to selectively move the proximal ends away from the mounting plate to align the proximal ends relative to one another.

  • Patent number: 7380957
    Abstract: A joiner assembly for joining and supporting a first linear light fixture with a second linear light fixture. The joiner assembly includes a joiner bracket including first control surface connected to a second control surface and a draw fastener hole therebetween. The first control surface is configured for controlling a position of the first linear light fixture in a prestressed condition, and the second control surface is configured for controlling a position of the second linear light fixture in a prestressed condition. A draw fastener is connected to the draw fastener hole. A draw fastener constraint is connected to the draw fastener and configured for connection to at least one of the first linear light fixture and the second linear light fixture.

  • Patent number: 7204603
    Abstract: A lighting system includes a suspended light fixture, a skin, and a plurality of alignment sights. The suspended light fixture includes a supporting spine. The skin partially surrounds the spine. The skin is supported by the spine at at least three points including an adjustable point. The skin is substantially more flexible than the spine. The spine has a plurality of suspension points that define a longitudinal axis. The plurality of alignment sights are connected to the skin along an axis defining a leveling axis. The leveling axis is substantially parallel to and offset from the longitudinal axis.
