Abstract: A halogen light fixture for mounting under a cabinet and over a counter surface, as in a kitchen, has a housing between opposite end caps adaptable to fixtures of varying lengths. A partition between the end caps cooperates with a housing top and rear wall to provide a closed wiring compartment including a power switch accessible on a bottom of the partition. A translucent diffuser panel is supported in open slots formed in the end caps and can be pulled from the slots for access to the lamps sockets. The fixture is held together by screws passing through the housing and the end caps.

Abstract: A halogen light fixture for mounting under a cabinet and over a counter surface, as in a kitchen, has a housing of continuous cross section between opposite end caps adaptable to fixtures of varying lengths. Screw fasteners pass through aligned openings in the housing and the end caps for attachment to the cabinet underside, and spacers integral to the end caps provide for air flow between the fixture and the cabinet. A partition also extending between the end caps provides a closed wiring compartment and some or all of the electrical components of the fixture, including lamp sockets and power switch can be mounted on the partition for ease of assembly and access.

Abstract: A counter light fixture has a fixture housing with a downward facing reflector and lamp sockets under the reflector, and a window panel hinged to the housing for access to the lamp sockets. The fixture housing is formed as a continuous extrusion including a wiring compartment which extends the length of the housing. The extrusion has a downwardly facing concave top section joined to an upwardly facing concave rear section. The reflector is under the downwardly facing concave top section, one or more lamp sockets are mounted under the reflector, the window panel is supported between opposite end caps of the housing under the downwardly facing concave top section, and the electrical wiring is contained in the upwardly facing concave rear section. The window panel slides away from a closed condition and then swings down to an open condition.

Abstract: A bayonet type socket improved for handling heavy currents of Halogen bulbs has a socket shell with one or more rivet shaped electrical contacts carried by an insulating disc supported on a main spring in the shell. Each rivet contact is movable on the disc and is driven by an auxiliary spring against the base of the light bulb to ensure positive electrical contact. A superior ground connection is provided by a separate grounding element fitted on the socket exterior.

Abstract: A housing for halogen lamps includes an extruded tubular segment with an axial bore, a lamp socket at one end of the bore and at least one pair of opposed longitudinal ventilation slots opening into the bore. The ventilation slots are shielded by an internal baffle which allows air flow across the bore but closes the interior of the housing to view through the slots. A power transformer unit may be included in the bore between the ventilation slots.

Abstract: A housing for miniature halogen lamps is assembled from extruded tubular segments by means of a coupler tube fixed to one segment and frictionally insertable into the other segment which carries a track swivel mount and a lamp socket connected to electrical supply wires. The socket carries a reflector which is closely received and supported within the coupler tube and is easily accessible upon separation of the segments.

Abstract: Housings for high intensity lamps are assembled from extruded elements interlocking without fasteners. The assembled housings feature longitudinal ventilation slots for convective cooling of the fixture. The ventilation slots have grooved edges for receiving mounting hardware which can be continuously positioned at any point along the housing.
