  • Patent number: 11466848
    Abstract: A lighting device system includes at least one lighting device module having a module housing configured to be inserted at least partially through an opening in a panel, and at least one heat sink member having a contact surface. The at least one heat sink member is located adjacent the opening in the panel. The module housing is held in contact with the contact surface of the at least one heat sink member when the module housing is inserted at least partially through the opening in the panel in an installed state. The module housing is configured to be selectively withdrawn from the contact surface of the heat sink member, through the opening in the panel.

  • Patent number: 11441768
    Abstract: A lighting device system has a lighting device module including a movable heat sink member configured to be received within the inner volume of a module housing. At least one rail on an inner surface of the module housing or on the movable heat sink member is received in a corresponding one or more grooves on the other of the inner surface of the module housing or the movable heat sink member. The movable heat sink member is slidably movable along the at least one rail or groove. A light source is attached to the heat sink member for directing light out of the first open end of the module housing, and is movable with the heat sink member to change a tilt angle of the light source.

  • Patent number: 11428398
    Abstract: A lighting device assembly includes a light source attached to a heat sink member, a first optic device and a mounting housing configured to be secured in or to a ceiling, wall or other object, and to hold the heat sink member. A second optic device including a second optic member is configured to receive light emitted in a first direction from the light emitting surface of the first optic device and to emit light in a second direction that is transverse to the first direction. A connection mechanism selectively connects the second optic device to the mounting housing, for selective disconnection from the mounting housing.

  • Patent number: 11274822
    Abstract: A lighting device assembly includes a light source and an optic attached to a first heat sink member, a second heat sink member connected in thermal communication with the first heat sink member, and an aperture member connected to the second heat sink member. The aperture member has an inner surface having steps surrounding a light exit opening to reduce a thickness dimension. The edge of the light exit opening is angled radially outward toward its light exit side. A third heat sink member is connected in thermal communication with the second heat sink member, and has a plurality of openings to receive one or more plaster materials. The third heat sink member has a first region and a second region at least partially surrounding the first region, the second region has a reduced heat conduction capability relative to the first region, to inhibit a transfer of heat to the outer perimeter of the body of the further heat sink member.
