  • Patent number: 10704778
    Abstract: An LED fixture is provided including a housing having a hollow configuration, a mounting plate secured to an upper end of the housing, a globe ring, separate from the housing, secured to a lower exterior end of the housing, a base on the housing extending within the globe ring, and an LED array positioned on the base of the housing.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 13, 2018
    Date of Patent: July 7, 2020
    Assignee: Appleton Grp LLC
    Inventors: Suraj N. Desai, Harsha N. Devappa, Dawn M. Grandsart, Timothy E. Graff, James G. Brand
  • Patent number: 10527272
    Abstract: An adapter for mounting a luminaire to a track of a track lighting system includes a main body and a head having axes that are angled with respect to each other. The head is configured to be insertable into the track and rotatable to align the adapter body with the track ant to make electrical contact with conductors within the track. The rotation required is less than 70 degrees, and may be as little as 13 degrees or less, enabling installation of track lighting near obstructions.

  • Patent number: 9845937
    Abstract: An optical assembly for an LED light system with a LED light source is provided to control a light pattern of a light beam produced by the system, such as for spot or narrow flood light applications. The optical assembly includes a conical reflector with an interior reflective surface, a light diffuser and an optic holder. The light diffuser has an annular disk-shape with a central opening. The optic holder is mounted to a narrow open top of the reflector, and suspends the light diffuser inside of the reflector along an optical axis. The light diffuser is a cost-efficient optical element, which can be used in combination with the reflector to redistribute light in the system in order to soften a peripheral light area surrounding a center beam light area of the light pattern of the light beam, and reduce a harsh edge between the center beam and peripheral light areas.
