  • Publication number: 20160245493
    Abstract: Disclosed is an LED lighting system with improved airflow and heat dissipation qualities. In one embodiment, the system comprises a heatsink mounted to an LED chip, and a fan assembly blowing air into the heatsink. The fan assembly includes a plurality of fans, the wind tunnels of the plurality of fans providing greater airflow in the center of the heatsink than a conventional one-fan configuration. In a further aspect, the disclosed system comprises a light head assembly in which cool air enters the light head assembly via the bottom and rear, and hot air is drawn out of the top of the light head assembly. An airflow path is created by selectively placing fans, baffles, walls, and openings in the lighting assembly.

  • Publication number: 20160244929
    Abstract: A flood barrier system includes vertical elements and panels extending between such vertical elements, the foregoing components having various features for inhibiting passage of flood water therethrough. One or more vertical elements may have a multi-layer base plate which forms a watertight seal with vertical gaskets disposed on the vertical elements. One of the vertical elements of the system may comprise a stanchion post which may be formed of extruded aluminum. Another vertical element which may find potential use in certain applications may be secured to a store front mullion. The panels in such system may include specially adapted gaskets to reduce instances of leakage. The vertical elements and panels allow the present flood barrier system to be flexible and readily deployable as a barrier to flood or flood risk.
