  • Patent number: 9765952
    Abstract: A device for mounting lighting sources on a substrate includes a channel-like mounting frame provided with fixing formations for fixing on said substrate, said mounting frame defining a cavity for receiving said lighting source with said lighting source resting on said substrate, a slider member which can be positioned in said cavity of said mounting frame to urge said lighting source toward said substrate; said slider member being slidable with respect to said mounting frame between an insertion position and a locking position, wherein said mounting frame and said slider member bear complementary engagement formations cooperating in a ramp-like manner to force said slider member and the lighting source urged thereby toward said substrate when said slider member is advanced from said insertion position toward said locking position.

  • Patent number: 8888323
    Abstract: Lighting device, usable for example with LED light sources, comprises a bowl-shaped body having a base surface with a plurality of mounting studs projecting from the base surface, together with one or more boards for the mounting of light radiation sources, provided with holes for the passage of respective mounting studs. The board has pairs of mounting locations for light radiation sources, each pair being arranged on opposite sides of a respective hole so as to be located on opposite sides of the stud which extends through said respective hole. A plurality of reflectors is provided in order to project the light radiation from the device. The reflectors each have an inlet opening for the light radiation and are capable of being mounted on the mounting studs selectively in one of at least two opposite mounting positions in which the inlet opening is placed at one of said mounting locations.
