  • Patent number: 10164391
    Abstract: An LED adapter to retrofit non-LED light fixtures to accept LED lights without electrical rewiring. The LED adapter includes a multi-use base plug that is configured to connect to the socket on the non-LED light fixture and a universal LED plug configured to connect to the socket on an LED light. The multi-use base plug may be a four-pin square base, a two-pin (aligned or off-set) square base, a two-pin tombstone base, a two-pin oval base, or a threaded base. The adapter may also include a power regulator disposed between the universal LED plug and the multi-use base plug. The power regulator includes one or more resistor to adjust the current or voltage supplied by the non-LED light fixture so as to be compatible with the LED light fixture.

  • Patent number: 10012360
    Abstract: A retrofit panel for a ceiling-mounted light fixture. The panel may comprise a lens, screen, diffuser, or LED light screen. Anchor line assemblies and retainer arm assemblies extend from a perimeter guide track from which they extend. The anchor line assemblies engage one or more ports on the light fixture housing and hold the retrofit panel a maximum anchor distance from the housing. The retainer arm assemblies engage one or more openings on the light fixture housing and hold the retrofit panel flush with the light fixture housing or the ceiling if recess mounted. The retrofit panel can be easily installed in existing ceiling mounted light fixtures with minimal demolition.
