Patent number: 10247389Abstract: A light fixture assembly includes a housing having an interior surface, a ballast mounted on the interior surface of the housing, a first reflector releasably coupled to the interior surface of the housing, the ballast being substantially enclosed between the housing and the first reflector when the first reflector is in a first, closed position and being exposed when the first reflector is in a second, open position spaced from at least a portion of the interior surface, a lens releasably coupled to the housing, the first reflector being substantially enclosed between the lens and the housing when the lens is in a first, closed position and substantially exposed when the lens is in a second, open position. This construction provides relatively easy and quick access to the ballast for replacement and from below the fixture if it is mounted in or on the ceiling.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2017Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: Hubbell IncorporatedInventors: Alan D. Seward, Martin C. Werr, David J. Rector, Randy K. Lewis, Raymond A. Brown

Patent number: 10051706Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling a light emitting diode (LED) system having a plurality of LED arrays are provided. The lighting system can include a dimmable LED driver circuit configured to provide a driver output suitable for providing a driver current to the LED arrays. A current splitter circuit can be provided between the LED driver circuit and the plurality of LED arrays to control the ratio of current from the driver output provided to each of the plurality of LED arrays. The current splitter circuit can be configured to control the current ratio provided to the plurality of LED arrays independently of the driver output according to a current ratio control curve based at least in part on a variable reference signal provided at the current splitter circuit.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2017Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: Hubbell IncorporatedInventors: Pritam Yadav, T. Warren Weeks, Jr., David John Rector, Martin C. Werr, Anthony Michael Mackey, Bruce Robeson Rhodes
