  • Patent number: 11686440
    Abstract: A modular lighting fixture includes a modular housing portion and one or more separate modular lighting components arranged adjacent to the modular housing portion. The separate modular lighting component(s) can include a lighting assembly having a plurality of LED devices and a plurality of optics. Each optic is secured relative to one of the plurality of LED devices. The lighting fixture also includes at least one securement assembly that secures the modular housing portion and the modular lighting component(s) together. More specifically, the securement assembly may include at least one end plate that secures the modular housing portion and the separate modular lighting component(s) together.

  • Patent number: 11569542
    Abstract: A battery assembly for a lighting fixture is provided. The battery assembly includes a battery unit comprising a battery unit housing and a first set of conductive pins. The battery unit housing is configured to accommodate one or more batteries configured to power one or more light sources of the lighting fixture. The first set of conductive pins are in electrical communication with the batteries. The battery assembly includes a battery interface comprising a battery interface housing and a second set of conductive pins. The battery interface housing is configured to accommodate the battery unit housing. The second set of conductive pins are coupled to the light source(s) so that the batteries power the light source(s) when the first set of conductive pins contact the second set of conductive pins. In some implementations, the battery unit can be inserted into the battery interface while the lighting fixture is energized.

  • Patent number: 11306909
    Abstract: A driver assembly (200) for a lighting fixture (100) is provided. The driver assembly (200) includes a housing (220) defining a cavity (234). The driver assembly (200) includes a driver circuit (210) disposed within the cavity (234). The driver circuit (210) can be configured to provide power to one or more light emitting diodes (116) of the lighting fixture (100). The driver assembly (200) can include a potting material (237) disposed within the cavity (234). The driver assembly (200) can include a base (260) attached to the housing (220) to enclose the driver circuit (210) and the potting material (237) within the cavity (234).
