  • Publication number: 20140104847
    Abstract: A luminaire includes a heat spreader, a heat sink, a light source and an outer optic. The heat sink is substantially ring-shaped and is disposed around and in thermal communication with an outer periphery of the heat spreader. The light source is disposed in thermal communication with the heat spreader, the light source having a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) that are disposed in thermal communication with the heat spreader. The outer optic is disposed in optical communication with the plurality of LEDs. The heat spreader, the heat sink and the outer optic, in combination, have an overall height H and an overall outside dimension D such that the ratio of H/D is so dimensioned as to: cover an opening defined by a nominally sized four-inch can light fixture; and, cover an opening defined by a nominally sized four-inch electrical junction box.

  • Publication number: 20140056026
    Abstract: A low profile luminaire to be carried by a lighting fixture. The luminaire may include a light source that comprises light-emitting diodes (LEDs), a heat sink thermally coupled to and disposed diametrically outboard of the light source, a reflector in optical communication with and disposed diametrically inboard of the light source, and a light guide in optical communication with at least one of the light source and the reflector and disposed therebetween. Light emitted from the light source may be reflected by the reflector into an edge of the light guide. Light propagating through the light guide may be projected into the environment at a uniform luminance. The luminaire may be dimensioned to cover a nominally sized four-inch can light fixture and/or electrical junction box. A method aspect of the invention details steps for assembling the low profile luminaire with light guide.

  • Patent number: 8646942
    Abstract: A luminaire includes an electrical base, an optic, and a heat sink disposed between the base and the optic. The lens has a first curved portion, a second curved portion and a third portion. An LED light source is coupled to the heat sink with LED modules arranged to direct light in the same direction. A frustoconical member having a reflective outer surface is disposed between the lens and the LED light source wherein the LED light source has LED modules disposed to emit at least a portion of light toward the reflective outer surface such that light is emitted with a substantially even luminous intensity in a 0°-135° zone.
