Patent number: 10247393Abstract: A recessed lighting unit includes a light engine and provides angular adjustment of the light emanating from the lighting unit. In one arrangement, the lighting unit includes a heat sink and a module frame that slidingly interact to provide rotation of the light engine in one degree of freedom, for example rotation about a horizontal axis. A rotation mechanism may also be provided for rotating the light engine in a second degree of freedom, for example rotation about the axis of a cylindrical recessed can in which the light engine is disposed. The lighting unit may be configured for use in new construction, or for retrofit applications.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2016Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: ABL IP Holding LLCInventors: Stephen H. Clark, Joseph Stauner

Patent number: 9903571Abstract: A retrofit assembly for inserting LED luminaries into previously recessed lighting fixtures has a horizontal bridge adjustable for various existing opening diameters of ceiling holes. The horizontal bridge carries two vertically adjustable brackets at its opposing ends. Tabs on the end plates of the bridge and tabs on the vertically adjustable brackets together help form bolt-operated vertical clamps adjustable for various ceiling thicknesses. The vertically adjustable brackets also carry torsion spring receivers for accepting the torsion springs of a retrofit LED luminaire/trim assembly. The vertically adjustable brackets may be spring-loaded for ease of adjustment when increasing the dimension of the vertical clamps.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2015Date of Patent: February 27, 2018Assignee: ABL IP Holding LLCInventors: Matthew Schubert, Joseph Stauner

Patent number: 9784422Abstract: A self-centering hyperbolic trim assembly is provided for a recessed light fixture. The trim assembly includes a mixing chamber, a hyperbolic reflector and a reflector mounting assembly to mount the hyperbolic reflector without rigid attachment in an optic housing of the recessed light fixture. The mixing chamber is top mounted by its chamber holder portion over an LED light source in the optic housing. The mixing chamber has a light transmitting chamber body held within the chamber holder portion, whereby a space is formed between the chamber holder and the light transmitting chamber body. This space is sufficient to accept the free upper end of the hyperbolic reflector therein, thus creating a self-centering interference fit between the mixing chamber and the reflector, while protecting the LED light source, when the light fixture is assembled, thereby maintaining consistent light output and patterning.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2015Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: ABL IP Holding LLCInventors: Hui Zhang, Kerry S. Collins, Joseph Stauner

Patent number: 8550669Abstract: An adjustable assembly for conveying heat away from a fixture. The adjustable assembly includes a sliding plate having a first side for mounting the fixture thereon and a curved surface opposite the first side. The adjustable assembly also includes a fixed heat sink having a mating surface adapted to allow the curved surface of the sliding plate to slide from a first position to a second position while maintaining a substantially flush contact between the curved surface of the sliding plate and the mating surface of the fixed heat sink. At least one fastener is also provided for securing the sliding plate to the fixed heat sink alternately in the first position or the second position.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2011Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Schneider Electric USA, Inc.Inventors: Mahendra Joseph Macwan, Joseph Stauner, Franklin Fong

Patent number: 7581843Abstract: An electrical fixture assembly is provided that is adapted to be modified to comply with a power usage limit assigned to the electrical fixture for operation in a circuit. The electrical fixture assembly has a surface and a label adapted to be applied to the surface. The label has a plurality of sections. Each section identifies a respective one of a plurality of power usage limits for operating the electrical fixture in a circuit. At least one of the sections is adapted to be removed from the label when the power usage limit identified by the at least one of the sections exceeds another power usage limit associated with the electrical fixture when installed in the circuit.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2006Date of Patent: September 1, 2009Inventor: Joseph Stauner
