Abstract: A method for creating a curving recessed lighting system having a plurality of housing sections, an LED strip (or two), and a flexible diffuser. Each housing section includes a base portion having an opening, a first flange having a first width and extending outward from the base portion, and a second flange having a second width and extending outward from the base portion in a direction opposite and coplanar to the first flange. Further, when the housing sections are arranged sequentially, the first and second flanges form two curved surfaces and the base portions in consecutive housing sections align to form a curved channel between the two curved surfaces. Preferably, the base portion of each of the plurality of housing sections has a depth not greater than ? inches (0.625 inches). This allows flush placement in standard drywall without the need for notching studs.

Abstract: A tension-mounted support lighting system provides visually stimulating flexile, lighting housed within an unconventional silicone lens. The system offers flexible installation and conceptual yet functional design. The lighting strip bends up and down giving it the unique ability to traverse open spaces wall to wall, wall to ceiling, or floor to ceiling. Various optional components allow customization and control for an ideal outdoor lighting system.

Abstract: A curving recessed lighting system having a plurality of pivoting, connectable channel sections, an LED strip (or more), and a flexible diffuser. Each housing section includes a base having connectable first and second ends, first and second flange members extending upward and outward therefrom and cut to both allow and limit pivoting between adjacent sections, and a U-shaped channel spaced from the flange members to create parallel channels. Flexible bands are secured within the parallel channels to isolate the LED strips within the U-shaped channel, as required. The flange members form two curved surfaces and the U-shaped channel in consecutive sections align to form a curved channel between the two curved surfaces. Preferably, the base portion of each of the plurality of housing sections has a depth not greater than ? inches (0.625 inches). This allows flush placement in standard drywall without the need for notching studs.

Abstract: A junction box cover assembly for attachment over an opening in an electrical junction box allows for a concealed connection to avoid detracting from the lighting fixture. The assembly includes a cover plate capable of being mounted to a junction box, the cover plate having an opening there through defined by a first threaded collar extending from the cover plate, a hub having a flange radially extending from a periphery of a second threaded collar defining a passage and configured to attach to the first threaded collar of the cover plate, and a circular insert detachably connected within the passage defined by the threaded collar, the circular insert having an opening for passing electrical wiring from the junction box through the passage, out the insert opening and to a light fixture. The cover plate and the radially extending flange somewhat sandwich a surface, such as drywall or wallboard, and the flange is configured to permit covering with spackling paste or joint compound to conceal the flange.

Abstract: An angled connector which allows connection between two LED lighting strips without the creation of an undesirable dark gap at connecting corners. The angled connector has a plurality of terminal pairs arranged such that when two LED light strips are connected, a distance between an end LED on one strip and an end LED on the other strip is approximately the same as a distance between adjacent equally-spaced LEDs on surfaces of the two strips. Used in a lighting fixture, a non-linear light source is retained within a housing having an opening through which light from LEDs can be directed. At least first and second adjacent LED light strips are connected at an angle to one another and a distance between end LEDs is approximately the same as a distance between equally-spaced LEDs on the surface of both the first and second LED strips. This configuration eliminates dark gaps at the corners of the fixture.

Abstract: A lighting system having a light element, a first connector, a second connector and an electrically coupled power source is described. The light element has a light source, a surface for emitting light. The first connector is fixed to an end of the light element and includes a cylindrical housing defining a cylindrical cavity, the cylindrical cavity having a plug positioned therein, the plug being electrically coupled to the light source within the light element, while the second connector couples to the first connector and has an outer housing and a cylindrical cavity defined therein. The first cylindrical housing is configured to frictionally engage an inner wall of the second cylindrical cavity when connected.

Abstract: A recessible track for a lighting system, the track including a channel defined by first and second opposing sidewalls, a base wall, and a longitudinal opening opposite the base wall, a first lateral flange extending laterally from an exterior of the first sidewall substantially parallel to the base wall and for at least a portion of the length of the track, and a second lateral flange extending from an exterior of the second sidewall substantially parallel to the base wall and for at least a portion of the length of the track. The channel is dimensioned such that it does not extend past a thickness of standard ?-inch drywall when recessed while the first and second lateral flanges secure the channel to the surface. The flanges may be concealed by blending with the drywall using a concealing material such as a joint compound or the like.

Abstract: An adjustable lighting fixture for mounting on a power supplying track, including a mounting arm and a light housing. The mounting arm extends axially from an end mountable on a track and is adjustably rotatable about the axis. The light housing includes a housing base mounted to the mounting arm for adjustable rotation about a second axis substantially orthogonal to the mounting arm axis, and a housing portion for housing a light source. The housing portion includes a light opening through which light from the light source may pass and a lens mounting adapted to selectively mount a lens in the light opening to direct light from the light source in a selected path, where the housing portion with a mounted lens substantially enclose the light source and the housing portion is removably securable in a fixed orientation relative to the housing base.

Abstract: A recessed lighting fixture comprises a base plate mountable in an opening in a room ceiling or wall, the base plate defining spaced apart front and back surfaces wherein the front surface is substantially flat and aligned with the surface of the ceiling or wall when mounted thereon, capable of being plastered and painted to match the ceiling or wall into which it is installed, the plate having an opening to allow light to pass through. A two-part, expandable housing substantially surrounds the base plate, the housing consisting of an upper and lower assembly, with the base plate secured to the lower portion and the lower portion adjustably mounted to the upper portion of the housing. A curved dome is adjustably mounted adjacent the back surface of the base plate, contained within the housing and centered on the light opening.
