Patent number: 11867365Abstract: An LED luminaire having a housing positionable at a structure location for providing illumination. At least one first LED light engine is located within the housing. The housing has at least one light output boundary and is configured to direct light therein toward the light output boundary. A light guide is configured to be located at the light output boundary to receive light contained within the housing to emit non-directional light at the light output boundary. The at least one first LED light engine includes at least one first LED light source providing directional light at the light output boundary. The first LED light engine includes a shroud adjacent the light guide providing directional light from the LED light source to a target location beyond the luminaire. The shroud structure provides an optical path from the LED light source through the light guide for providing non-directional light.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2021Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: AXIS LIGHTING INC.Inventors: Howard Yaphe, Andrew Miles, Giuseppe Caluori, Alejandro Mier-Langner, Cedric Stevenin, Jeffery Robert Parker, Frank Shum, Yupin Sun, Don Peifer

Patent number: 6000818Abstract: A clip for mounting a recessed light fixture into a panel includes a clamping assembly for anchoring the clip to a hole in the panel, and a resilient arm biased toward a housing of the light fixture which frictionally engages the housing to support the fixture in the panel. In the preferred embodiment a gripping edge of the resilient arm contacts the housing at an oblique angle, so that turning the housing in a particular direction draws the fixture into the hole and thus draws a flange surrounding the mouth of the housing flush against the panel.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 1998Date of Patent: December 14, 1999Assignee: Canlyte Inc.Inventor: Giuseppe Caluori

Patent number: 5609414Abstract: The invention provides a recessed lighting fixture having an outwardly extending housing flange about a lower end of the fixture housing and retaining clips mounted to the housing wall. The retaining clips have enlarged ends trapped within the housing and extending through axial slots so as to permit axial movement along the housing wall. Each retaining clip includes a spring arm biased to an open position in which the spring arm extends radially from the housing, part of the upper portion being flexible such that the spring arm can be depressed toward the housing wall. The fixture can thus be installed through a ceiling opening barely larger than the diameter of the housing. An adjusting screw is provided for adjusting the position of the retaining clip axially along the housing wall, which secures the housing in place by clamping the ceiling between the housing flange and the retaining clips.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 1995Date of Patent: March 11, 1997Assignee: Canlyte Inc.Inventor: Giuseppe Caluori
