  • Patent number: 10845041
    Abstract: An extended length or linear type light fixture having a lighting element placed on pivoting members locked into the fixture is provided. The fixture is of the typical sealed beam fixture used in outdoor or places having an environment harmful to electronics. The present invention allows the fixture to be installed, often at elevated positions, relative to the ground, or in places not easily accessible, and allows the light element to be pivoted so that even after the light fixture is installed, the light from the fixture can be pivoted to project light where more desired. As such the installation of lighting fixtures is simplified and adjustments are possible even after installation and upon the change of conditions and as needed for immediate change and restoration. The fixture provides a high grade light element with easy adjustments for use in a variety of situations that previously required removal and reinstallation of light fixtures or the use of additional fixtures at increased costs.

  • Patent number: 8770785
    Abstract: A lighting fixture is provided that includes a flat elongated base having opposing longitudinal marginal slots and a pair of upright walls inboard of the longitudinal slots, and a pair of end caps engaging opposing ends of the elongated base. A gasket extends along a longitudinal surface of each of the upright walls. A lens extends between opposing end caps and conforms to the curved marginal edges of the end caps and edges and upright walls. The lens has two opposing longitudinal grooves that align with a pair of side rails extending between the end caps. Each side rail has a longitudinal cam projection extending into the associated lens groove. When the side rails are tightened against the lens, the cam projections tighten the lens into contact with the gasket to form a water tight seal between the lens and the base.
