  • Patent number: 7063445
    Abstract: A luminaire retrofit panel including a main wall adapted to support a luminaire in a central opening of the main wall, and including an outer perimeter. A side wall extends from the outer perimeter of the main wall. A plurality of secondary walls extend from the side wall and extend over a portion of the main wall toward the central opening of the main wall. The secondary walls are substantially parallel to the main wall. The plurality of secondary walls support at least one hinge and at least one latch. The hinge is engagable with a frame and allows the main wall to pivot with respect the frame. The latch is engagable with the frame to hold the main wall to releasably secure the main wall to the frame.

  • Patent number: 6755559
    Abstract: A luminaire comprising an optical assembly that has a mounting interface. A socket holder has a mounting member that is adapted to mount the socket holder to the mounting interface of the optical assembly. First and second proximate surfaces are adapted to support a socket and a light source in first and second orientations, respectively. The socket holder defines a central axis. A longitudinal axis is defined by the socket and the light source in the first orientation is substantially parallel to the central axis of the socket holder and a longitudinal axis of the socket and the light source in the second orientation is angled with respect to the central axis of the socket holder.

  • Patent number: 6525890
    Abstract: An optical assembly includes a frame member for holding an optical member, a mounting member releasably coupled to the frame member and having a latch engaging surface. A latch member is coupled to the frame member and is pivotally movable between locked and unlocked positions relative to the frame and mounting members. The latch member has a main body portion, a cam arm portion extending from a first surface at a first end of the main body portion, a handle portion extending from the first surface at an opposing second end of the main body portion, and a central positioning portion extending from the first surface between the cam arm and handle portions. A spring biasing member is disposed between the latch member and the frame member for biasing the latch member toward the locked position.
