Abstract: A concealed emergency lighting system that includes a lamp assembly box and a power source box and a method for installing the emergency lighting system is disclosed. The lamp assembly box has a face plate and a front door pivotably moveable between an open and a closed position and a lamp assembly. The power source box includes a battery and other electrical components that are connected to the lamp assembly. The emergency lighting system can also include a mounting bracket with screws, a flexible support and a flexible armored cable. The method of installing the concealed emergency lighting system includes the steps of: forming an opening in a wall; attaching the mounting bracket to a stud through the opening; connecting the power source; inserting the power source box and the lamp assembly box through the opening; and securing the lamp assembly box to the mounting bracket.

Abstract: A reflector includes a first concave surface, a second concave surface and a third concave surface. The first concave surface has a first axis and a first opening to receive a first light source. The first concave surface is configured to reflect first light rays of the first light source from the first concave surface across the first axis and not to reflect second light rays of the first light source from the first concave surface. The second concave surface has a second axis and a second opening to receive a second light source. The second concave surface is configured to reflect first light rays of the second light source from the second concave surface across the second axis and not to reflect second light rays of the second light source from the second concave surface.

Abstract: An emergency lighting fixture includes a door and light source disposed on the door. The door rotates 360 degrees in one direction. A slip clutch assembly permits manual rotation of the door when obstructed by a motor or to remain in the same position when obstructed during rotation by the motor. A capacitor stores energy to close the door. A pressure locking assembly includes a bearing ball biased into engagement with an alignment hole by a spring in response to the door being rotated near a predetermined position. A conductive clip maintains electrical contact with a conductive portion of a hinge as the door rotates. The conductive clip is connected to a power source, and the light source is connected to the conductive portion of the hinge, thereby providing power to the light source after the door has stopped in a pre-determined position or during rotation of the door. The fixture may be used in non-emergency lighting applications.

Abstract: An emergency light fixture includes at least two light sources and a reflector. The light sources are disposed within the reflector. The reflector includes a first concave surface formed by rotating a first parabola about a first central axis of the first parabola, a second concave surface formed by rotating a second parabola about a second central axis of the second parabola, and a third concave surface formed by translating a third parabola along a substantially straight line. The third concave surface intersects the first concave surface and the second concave surface. The light sources may be disposed at the foci of the first and second parabolas or offset from the foci. The first and second central axes may be oriented at symmetrical angles with respect to a plane bisecting the third parabola. The reflector preferably has no convex joints. The first, second, and third parabolas may be degenerated. A third light source may be disposed within the third concave surface.
