  • Patent number: 11668443
    Abstract: An uplight device for use with a luminaire that has a housing configured to be supported from a surface by a stem with a wireway. The uplight device includes a body having a radially outwardly directed annular flange, a vertically oriented annular rim encircling the annular flange, and a passageway extending through the body, and an uplight substrate supported on a first side of the annular flange. The uplight substrate includes a plurality of light emitting sources arranged in an array on a first side of the uplight substrate. The uplight device further includes an optical lens covering the first side of the annular flange and the uplight substrate. The body of the uplight device is configured to be coupled between the stem and housing of the luminaire such that the passageway communicates with the wireway of the stem and a chamber of the luminaire.
