  • Patent number: 12152759
    Abstract: A reinforced visor for use with a luminaire includes an exterior shell, a first interior end rib bracket, and a first exterior reinforcement member. The exterior shell extends an overhang distance measured from the first interior rib bracket to a free end of the exterior shell, and the first exterior reinforcement member is attached to the first interior rib member with the exterior shell interposed between the first exterior reinforcement member and the first interior end rib bracket.

  • Patent number: 12085262
    Abstract: Sealed LED lighting fixtures operated under certain conditions (e.g., outdoors, in cold ambient environments, at high operating current, and/or in non-hermetic environments) will oftentimes exhibit condensation on an inner surface of the emitting face of the fixture. When occurring, said condensation impairs the ability to produce useful light—namely, light harnessed and directed in a manner so to provide lighting for a task (or otherwise desired)—by diffusing light emitted from the lighting fixture. Envisioned are apparatus, methods, and systems to reduce moisture in sealed LED lighting fixtures so to reduce or eliminate condensation, and in a manner that addresses both fixtures already in the field and those being assembled in a factory setting. In one form, a carrier embedded with desiccant is positionally mounted inside the fixture in a desired position which has no or minimal impact on light output from the fixture.

  • Publication number: 20240247784
    Abstract: An apparatus for retrofitting a HID lighting system includes using existing components of previously installed HID lighting systems such as its ballasts while replacing some capacitors to adjust the power supplied to a retrofit LED luminaire. Unused ballast drivers are removed, and a self-contained ballast driver assembly is mounted into the electronic control enclosure of the previously installed lighting system. Some of the retrofit LED luminaires include an uplighting lens, an optic, or a diffuser for providing uplight. An aiming bracket and an aiming plate allow for the horizontal aiming angle of a light luminaire to be set.
