  • Patent number: 10539737
    Abstract: A lighting fixture includes a first end plate and a second end plate that are coupled to and disposed on opposite sides of a reflector panel. Further, the lighting fixture includes a pair of elongated heat sinks that are coupled to the first end plate and the second end plate on opposite latitudinal ends of the pair of elongated heat sinks. Each elongated heat sink retains a longitudinal edge of a light guide and/or a plurality of LEDs directed towards the longitudinal edge. Further, the lighting fixture includes an optical device that is removably coupled to the lighting fixture such that the first end plate, the second end plate, and the pair of elongated heat sinks retain and overlap a perimeter of an optical device to prevent light leakage. The light guide is oriented horizontally and the optical device is oriented to receive light exiting the light guide.

  • Publication number: 20090310330
    Abstract: A combination luminaire and path of egress lighting includes a lamp housing and one or more auxiliary lamps. The lamp housing includes an electrical enclosure, a lamp mounting area and a lamp cover. A primary light source is positioned within and coupled to the lamp housing. The auxiliary lamps are coupled to and extend out from the exterior of the lamp housing. Each auxiliary lamp typically include a base plate, a stem member, and a task lamp housing. The base plate is coupled to the exterior of the lamp housing. The stem rotatably coupled on one end to the base plate and along the other end to the task lamp housing. By rotatably coupling auxiliary lamp along each end of the stem member, the task lamp housing has a large range of adjustability so that it can be aimed towards paths of egress after the luminaire is installed.
