  • Patent number: 11629853
    Abstract: A lighting device system includes a lighting device module having a module housing configured to be selectively inserted through an opening in a panel or a base. Driver electronics are configured to be electrically coupled to the lighting device module. A heat sink member is located adjacent the opening in the panel or the base. A movable biasing device has a first position to apply a bias force on the module housing, pressing the module housing toward the heat sink member to increase thermal transfer. The moveable biasing device has a second position to provide improved access to the driver electronics through the opening in the panel or base relative to the first position. The movable biasing device is selectively moveable from the first position to the second position, or from the second position to the first position.

  • Publication number: 20220316690
    Abstract: A moveable mount supports a lighting device assembly and driver electronics. The moveable mount includes a base having a light opening, and a light engine support bracket assembly movably secured to the base. The light engine support bracket is configured to support the lighting device assembly and the driver electronics, for movement relative to the base between a first position in which an optic or a light source of the light engine assembly is aligned with the light opening of the base to direct light through the light opening, and a second position in which the driver electronics is aligned with the light opening of the base.

  • Patent number: 11402081
    Abstract: A lighting device assembly includes a light source attached to a heat sink member to emit light in a first direction. A support structure supports the heat sink member in a pivotally adjustable orientation about an adjustment axis, to allow adjustment of the first direction. A drive mechanism selectively drives the heat sink member to pivotally adjust the orientation of the heat sink member about the adjustment axis to change the first direction. The drive mechanism includes a drive screw having, a collar threaded to the drive screw to move linearly along the drive screw axis as the drive screw is rotated, and at least one strut to transfer linear movement of the collar to pivotal movement of the heat sink member.

  • Patent number: 11371684
    Abstract: A driver housing for holding driver electronics of a lighting device system includes a first housing portion and a second housing portion. The first housing portion is configured to hold and retain the driver electronics. The second housing portion is configured to contain or hold one or more electrical connectors for connecting the first one or more electrical conductors to the one or more power source conductors.

  • Patent number: 9736376
    Abstract: The invention includes a payload stage with tilt head, a monitor mount and a payload plate clamping mechanism, individually, and incorporated into a camera stabilizer. The tilt head provides a curved and a straight slot each having a pivot pin disposed therein. The pivot pins are at a fixed distance from one another and thus the stage tilts as the pivot progresses with respect to the straight slot. The monitor mount provides inserts to accommodate central posts of different sizes, each designed to be axially registered to the posts and the monitor mount.
