  • Patent number: 10816165
    Abstract: A luminaire assembly and a silicone optical array. The luminaire assembly includes a housing, a substrate, and a silicone optical array. The housing defines a light emitting chamber. The substrate has a plurality of light emitting sources, such as light emitting diodes, supported thereby in an array. The substrate defines a peripheral edge. The silicone optical array has a plurality of silicone optics formed in the silicone optical array. The silicone optical array is located so as to cover one side of the substrate and the plurality of light emitting sources. The silicone optical array may further include a silicone mat and a plurality of silicone optics formed in the silicone mat and being arranged in an array corresponding to the array of light emitting sources.

  • Patent number: 9234649
    Abstract: A luminaire is disclosed comprising one or more side members having one or more light modules associated therewith and defining a recess. The light module having one or more light sources, one or more light directing members, and a lens enclosing the light sources and directing members in the module. The light directing members redirecting light emitted from at least one of the one or more light sources to be perpendicular to the lens. One or more of the light directing members can be a reflector or an optic lens. The light modules can be configured to cast different light distributions to combine to form the desired light distribution. The light modules can be designed or exchanged to create any desired light distribution from the same side members. The light module can comprise a tray such that the lens is sealed to the tray keeping moisture from entering the module.

  • Patent number: 9194550
    Abstract: A lighting apparatus having a base member and a directional member are shown and described. The base member includes a first surface having a plurality of reflective elements extending therefrom. The base member also including a plurality of openings arranged in a pattern. Each opening is configured to receive a respective light source. The directional member has a portion of a reflective surface positioned relative to at least one opening to reflect light radiating from a lighting source disposed within the opening towards a portion of at least one of the reflective elements extending from the base member.
