Patent number: 10753549Abstract: An adapter bracket for retrofitting an existing troffer light fixture includes one of a channel, a base portion, and a frame member, each configured to rest on a T-bar of a ceiling system. The channel is configured to receive and retain a portion of a troffer housing for the existing troffer light fixture. The base portion is configured to support the troffer housing along a full length of the troffer housing. The frame member defines an aperture configured to receive a portion of a troffer door assembly. The aperture includes a slot and a notch, where the notch is defined adjacent to the slot and is narrower than the slot. Each of the base portion, the channel, and the frame member includes a mounting surface configured to engage with a retainer of the troffer door assembly.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2018Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: Orion Energy Systems, Inc.Inventors: Scott A. Green, John H. Scribante, Matthew S. Tlachac, Brandon J. King

Patent number: 10578295Abstract: A light fixture includes an enclosure having a top side and an opposing underside, and a luminaire module. The luminaire module includes a panel, a plurality of LEDs, a first reflector, and a second reflector. The panel extends along the opposing underside of the enclosure. The plurality of LEDs are coupled to the panel and arranged in at least one row. The at least one row has a first lateral side and a second lateral side. The first reflector is coupled to the panel and disposed along the first lateral side of the plurality of LEDs. The second reflector are coupled to the panel and disposed along the second lateral side of the plurality of LEDs. The panel is releasably attached to the enclosure such that replacement of the panel simultaneously replaces the plurality of LEDs, the first reflector, and the second reflector.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2017Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: Orion Energy Systems, Inc.Inventors: John H.
