  • Publication number: 20130107524
    Abstract: Light engines for luminaires that include a printed circuit board of a geometric shape, light emitting diodes provided on the PCB, and an optic that is mounted on the PCB to cover the LEDs. One or a plurality of light engines may be mounted in a luminaire. The light engines may be arranged in any orientation within a luminaire and such arrangement may be specifically tailored to the geometric shape of the luminaire, if desired. The light engine design of embodiments contemplated herein allows customization of the pattern of emitted light from a luminaire, which is impacted by the type of optic (i.e., Type I-V) incorporated into each light engine in the luminaire and the rotational orientation of each optic in such light engines.

  • Patent number: 5819405
    Abstract: Plug-in connectors primarily intended for connecting lighting fixtures into system circuitry, the connectors include selector mechanisms which allow selection of a hot conductor or conductors necessary for energization of the fixtures. The connectors of the invention allow selection of a specific circuit at the job site rather than pre-wiring of a fixture to a specific circuit during factory assembly, a given fixture then being rapidly installed by plugging of the connector into a tapping port in electrical cable extending between fixtures in an installation. The selection mechanism of the invention acts primarily to change the wiring configuration of the associated fixture with the hot leg or legs of the fixture being movable to adapt to a desired specific circuit. The invention further encompasses use of the apparatus of the invention in a method for rapidly wiring fixtures into system circuitry, thereby resulting in labor and job cost savings.
