  • Patent number: 11300276
    Abstract: Disclosed is a luminaire structure for location in a corner. The luminaire structure has a housing including first and second housing structure segments configured to be located adjacent the corner in an operative position. The housing is configured to support at least one LED array, and to support at least one light delivery structure to be located at or adjacent a light output region. The housing has at least one internal services region to receive one or more components therein. A mounting interface is configured to cooperate with the housing and/or an anchor structure mounted in or adjacent to the corner area, to enable the housing to be deployed between a servicing position and an operative position. The housing is proximal to the anchor structure, at least in part, and the internal services region is rendered inaccessible for servicing by its proximity to the housing and the corner.

  • Patent number: 11125400
    Abstract: A light fixture device having at least one sealed LED lighting cartridge and a sealed casing with a lens region along one boundary thereof. The device includes one or more power supply elements extending from or accessible from the casing which are connectible with a power source. A housing of the device has at least one first housing structure defining at least two opposed cartridge-receiving zones. Each of the zones has a corresponding light output region cartridge-receiving and is configured to receive at least one sealed LED lighting cartridge with the lens region aligned with the corresponding light output region. A central interior cavity is provided to accommodate the power supply elements between, at least in part, the cartridge-receiving zones. At least one second housing structure to sealingly engage with the housing structure and sealingly close the central interior cavity.

  • Patent number: 8506127
    Abstract: A lens frame for mounting and cooling LEDs is described. The lens frame (120) may be continuous and attachable to a luminaire (100) having a luminaire housing (110) with an opening (112). The lens frame (120) may extend across and close the opening (112) of the luminaire housing (110). The lens frame (120) may include a recessed support surface (122), a lens attachment area (126) positioned outward from and peripherally of the support surface (122), and heat dissipating structure (130) located peripherally of the support surface (122). A plurality of LEDs (154) may be coupled to the support surface (122) of the lens frame (120) exteriorly of the luminaire housing (110) and a lens (188) may be coupled to the lens retaining area (126) of the lens frame (120).
