Publication number: 20220099279Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2020Publication date: March 31, 2022Inventors: Hristea MIHALCEA, Jean GAGNÉ, Theodore PORTER, Pierre-Luc LUSSIER, Jennifer ABBOUD, Andrew MILES, Howard YAPHE

Publication number: 20210405281Abstract: A single edge lit lighting module produces bi-lobed light distributions which provide targeted control of light output. The compact form factor of module embodiments having narrow width are particularly well-suited for use in linear lighting fixtures for suspended and downlighting configurations typically used to illuminate floors and/or ceilings. Embodiments of the single edge lit lighting module utilize reflectors in combination with light guides having volumetric light scattering properties and surface features to control peak intensities, output angles, and shapes of the two light output lobes. A variety of light distributions can be achieved including symmetrical distributions conventionally achieved by double edge lit modules. Further embodiments utilize selective alignment of light guide with reflector to achieve different light distributions thereby providing a fixture assembler with more design choices without need of additional components.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2021Publication date: December 30, 2021Applicants: Fusion Optix, Inc., Axis Lighting, Inc.Inventors: Terence Yeo, Timothy Kelly, Howard Yaphe, Stephane Beland, Jean Gagne, Andrew Miles

Patent number: 11156762Abstract: A single edge lit lighting module is disclosed which produces tailored light distributions valuable in many illumination applications. The light distributions attainable using the invention include, but are not limited to, symmetric and asymmetric batwing distributions, asymmetric distributions for perimeter lighting and symmetric distributions. The invention's unique single edge lit construction provide the means for achieving this without need for conventional two lit edges and within a compact form factor with narrow width, particularly well-suited for linear lighting fixtures. Various embodiments also provide means for adjusting light distributions dynamically to control light output characteristics by controlling the input signals to the LED board included in the assembly.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2018Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignees: Fusion Optix, Inc., Axis Lighting, Inc.Inventors: Terence Yeo, Timothy Kelly, Howard Yaphe, Stephane Beland, Jean Gagne, Andrew Miles
