Further, the light fixture includes a cover that is configured to be coupled to the back plate. The cover includes a second securing element that is formed in at least one corner of the cover that is cut out such that at least a portion of the cover fits within a cavity formed by the sidewall of the back plate when the cover is coupled to the back plate in an electrical connection phase. In the electrical connection phase, the cover is coupled to the back plate by engaging the second securing element with the first securing element such that the cover hangs from the back plate and is substantially perpendicular to the back plate, and the cavity is exposed.

Abstract: A junction box includes a first cover plate that covers a first open side defined by a main body, and a second cover plate that covers a second open side defined by the main body. The second cover plate includes a mounting pad to attach an electrical component thereto. The electrical component is disposed in an inner cavity defined by the main body when the second cover plate is in a closed position. Further, the junction box includes a fastening device that retains the first cover plate and the second cover plate in the closed position and operates without interfering with a mounting structure in which the junction box is disposed. Furthermore, the junction box includes chamfer walls and wire traps disposed thereon to receive and pass electrical wiring cables into the junction box therethrough.

Abstract: A remodel recessed luminaire includes a housing can that defines a first slope and a junction box that defines a second slope. Further, the housing can includes a channel to retain a thermoprotector therein, the channel being defined by an indentation formed in a top wall of the housing can. The junction box includes a top cover that is coupled to a main body of the junction box and the top wall of the housing can such that the top cover encloses a wire management cavity that is formed by the channel that is communication with a second cavity defined by the main body. Furthermore, the junction box includes a coupling feature to attach an electrical component to the junction box. The first slope and the second slope operate in unison to fit the remodel recessed luminaire through small ceiling apertures and/or ceiling apertures in thick ceilings.

Abstract: A lighting system includes a housing and a finishing section. The housing defines a cavity and includes at least one magnet mounted inside the cavity. The finishing section includes a second magnet mounted adjacent to a side of the finishing section and oriented so that the second magnet and the first magnet attract each other when the finishing section is inserted into the housing.

Abstract: A light emitting diode module is removably coupled to a heat sink with screws and includes slots configured to receive at least a portion of the screw therethrough, the width of the slot being greater than the thread-width of the screw but less than the width of the screw head. Some slots also include a keyhole having a diameter greater than the width of the screw head. For embodiments without keyholes, the module is coupled to a heat sink by loosening the screws, sliding them into the slots, and tightening the screws to hold the LED module in place. For embodiments with one or more keyholes, the keyhole is vertically aligned with the screw, the module is moved down over the screw, and the screw is moved into the narrower portion of the slot. Then, the screws are tightened to hold the module in place against the heat sink.

Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) module is in thermal communication with front and back heat sinks for dissipation of heat therefrom. The LED module is physically held in place with at least the back heat sink. A mounting ring and locking ring can also be used to hold the LED module in place and in thermal communication with the back heat sink. Key pins and key holes are used to prevent using a high power LED module with a back heat sink having insufficient heat dissipation capabilities required for the high power LED module. The key pins and key holes allow lower heat generating (power) LED modules to be used with higher heat dissipating heat sinks, but higher heat generating (power) LED modules cannot be used with lower heat dissipating heat sinks.

Abstract: A bracket for a luminaire is described.

The bracket can also include a second portion coupled to a proximal end of the body of the first portion, where the second portion includes at least one first housing coupling feature disposed within a second body of the second portion. The at least one first lamp socket connection system coupling feature can be configured to couple to at least one first bracket coupling feature of a socket of the luminaire. The at least one first housing coupling feature can be configured to couple to at least one second bracket coupling feature of a housing of the luminaire.
