The finishing section further includes a light source that is disposed within the internal cavity of the finishing cone. Additionally, the luminaire includes one or more retention devices that are coupled to the finishing cone. The one or more retention devices are configured to mount the finishing cone within a recessed can having one or more retention device receivers. The one or more retention devices include wire forms such as, but not limited to, spring wire forms and coiled wire forms. Alternatively, the one or more retention devices include a friction retention device.

Abstract: A luminaire can include a housing having at least one outer surface that forms a cavity. The luminaire can also include an aperture that traverses the at least one outer surface of the housing. The luminaire can further include a substrate disposed within the cavity. The luminaire can also include an electrical connector disposed on the substrate adjacent to the aperture. The luminaire can further include a dial coupled to the electrical connector, where dial has a range of positions, where each position within the range of positions of the dial corresponds to a discrete correlated color temperature (CCT) output by multiple light sources of the luminaire.

Abstract: A surface mount luminaire includes a housing assembly formed by a light source housing and a housing cover that are removably coupled to each other. The light source housing includes a recessed structure that defines an inner cavity. The inner cavity houses a lighting assembly that is configured to emit light to an area that is to be illuminated. Further, the light source housing defines a second cavity that is disposed external to and around the recessed structure. The second cavity is enclosed by the housing cover and houses electrical components associated with the luminaire such that the electrical components are inset within the housing assembly of the luminaire. Further, the luminaire includes one or more gaskets that are coupled to the housing assembly to provide a seal that is configured to protect the one or more components disposed in the second cavity from environmental elements.

Abstract: A system can include a first electrical device, a network manager, and at least one second electrical device. The first electrical device includes at least one electrical device component used to operate the first electrical device to perform a function for which the first electrical device is designed to perform. The first electrical device can also include a sound-controlled system integrated with the first electrical device. The sound-controlled system can include at least one audio component integrated with the first electrical device, and a controller communicably coupled to the at least one audio component. The at least one audio component can capture a sound that enables the controller independent of the function performed by at least one electrical device component. The first controller can send the first sound to the network manager. The network manager can control the at least one second electrical device based on the first sound.
