Patent number: 10962212Abstract: A driver-less lighting fixture includes a housing designed to be recessed in a ceiling when the driver-less recessed lighting fixture is installed in the ceiling. The driver-less lighting fixture further includes a light source positioned on an ambient side of the housing to provide an illumination light to an area. The driver-less lighting fixture also includes a connector attached to the housing. The light source is electrically coupled to the connector to receive a power from a driver of a second recessed lighting fixture via an electrical cable coupled to the connector. The connector is positioned such that the connector is hidden from view from below the ceiling when the driver-less recessed lighting fixture installed in the ceiling.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2019Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: SIGNIFY HOLDING B.V.Inventor: Jose Antonio Laso

Patent number: 9720164Abstract: A lighting system can comprise an edgelit panel, for example a lightguide that may have a panel or slab shape with an edge that receives light from an array of light emitting diodes extending along the edge. The lightguide can guide the received light towards an opposing edge of the lightguide and gradually release light to provide illumination. An optic can manage light that reaches the opposing edge of the lightguide, for example via softening, spreading, concentrating, or diffusing the light. The optic can be mounted to or integrated in the opposing edge of the lightguide.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2015Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: Cooper Technologies CompanyInventors: Jose Antonio Laso, Adam Moore Foy, Scott David Wegner

Patent number: 9188294Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED)-based optically indirect luminaire includes a reflector that receives light generated by an LED light source platform and reflects the light beyond the platform into a space to be illuminated. The LED light source platform can be configured as a pendant that is suspended from the reflector by one or more supports or cables. The LED light source platform can include a heat sink that receives the LEDs and the printed circuit board (PCB) they are disposed upon so that the LEDs are visible to the reflector and hidden from view. An optional lens can be included that covers the LEDs and PCB to protect them from dust and moisture.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2013Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: Cooper Technologies CompanyInventors: Scott David Wegner, Jose Antonio Laso, Christopher Michael Bryant

Patent number: 8109648Abstract: A light fixture includes an elongated channel and one or more lamp socket assemblies. The lamp socket assemblies include at least one lamp socket and a removable row aligner device. The row aligner device is separated from the lamp socket assembly and one side of the row aligner device is positioned in the base of the channel. A second light fixture slidably receives a second side of the row aligner device to provide a properly aligned row of two light fixtures. The lamp socket assemblies include pivot tabs that extend through and pivot within apertures of the channel. The pivot tabs allow the socket track assemblies to rotate from a shipping position where the lamps sockets are housed within the channel to an operational position where the lamp sockets are positioned upright for receiving lamps.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2009Date of Patent: February 7, 2012Assignee: Cooper Technologies CompanyInventors: Jose Antonio Laso, Jamey Nunnally Vaughan

Patent number: 7862202Abstract: A method and apparatus for motion sensor installation includes an apparatus for installing a lighting accessory to a first luminaire having a luminaire housing. The bracket includes a coupling member operative to couple the bracket to one of the luminaire housings. A support member extends from the coupling member, and is operative to support the lighting accessory a first distance from the luminaire housing. An attachment member that is operative to attach the lighting accessory to the lighting accessory extends from the support member. The bracket couples the lighting accessory to the luminaire housing without extending the length of the luminaire or creating a substantial gap between two luminaires in a linear configuration. In one aspect, the lighting accessory can be a motion sensor that is operative to control the power to one or more of the luminaires.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2008Date of Patent: January 4, 2011Assignee: Cooper Technologies CompanyInventors: Jose Antonio Laso, Jamey Vaughan

Publication number: 20080253133Abstract: Reflectors for luminaires that are operative to reflect light provided by a lamp are described. The reflectors have a first side operative to reflect light and a second side operative to reflect light. The first side and the second side each include a number of steps. The first side and the second side form a substantially parabolic shape. The first side may be coupled to the second side via a flat portion that is configured to couple the reflector to a luminaire housing. The steps may comprise first steps and a second step, where the first step is coupled to the flat portion, and the second step is coupled to the first step. The second step may include a plurality of steps.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2008Publication date: October 16, 2008Applicant: Cooper Technologies CompanyInventors: Jose Antonio Laso, Smita Anaoker
