  • Patent number: 10247389
    Abstract: A light fixture assembly includes a housing having an interior surface, a ballast mounted on the interior surface of the housing, a first reflector releasably coupled to the interior surface of the housing, the ballast being substantially enclosed between the housing and the first reflector when the first reflector is in a first, closed position and being exposed when the first reflector is in a second, open position spaced from at least a portion of the interior surface, a lens releasably coupled to the housing, the first reflector being substantially enclosed between the lens and the housing when the lens is in a first, closed position and substantially exposed when the lens is in a second, open position. This construction provides relatively easy and quick access to the ballast for replacement and from below the fixture if it is mounted in or on the ceiling.

  • Patent number: 10139061
    Abstract: Lighting fixtures having adjustable components configured to accommodate the application of force (e.g., from a moving patient bed) are provided. In one example embodiment, a lighting fixture can include a housing configured to house a light source. The lighting fixture can include a mounting bracket configured to attach with the housing to secure the housing to a surface. The mounting bracket can include a guide mechanism. The guide mechanism can define a guide channel. The housing is attachable to the mounting bracket such that at least a portion of the housing can move relative to the mounting bracket along the guide channel of the guide mechanism when a force is applied to the housing.
