Patent number: 9506612Abstract: A luminaire can comprise two different types of light emitting diodes (“LEDs”), for example a chip-on-board light emitting diode (“LED”) and at least one discrete light emitting diode. The luminaire can have a normal mode of operation that utilizes utility power and an emergency mode of operation that utilizes battery power. The luminaire may transition from normal to emergency mode upon loss of the utility power. During normal operation, the luminaire can operate the chip-on-board light emitting diode using utility power. During emergency operation, the luminaire can operate the discrete light emitting diode using battery power, without operating the chip-on-board light emitting diode.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2014Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: Cooper Technologies CompanyInventors: Caleb Badley, Claire O'Reilly, Reed Bradford, Christopher Michael Bryant

Patent number: 8680756Abstract: A HID luminaire includes a HID lamp, a reflector, and a lens. The reflector has a proximal end, a distal area, and an intermediate are positioned therebetween. The reflector has an interior surface that includes a first portion that extends from the proximal end to the intermediate area and a second portion that extends from the intermediate area to the distal end. The second portion is less light reflective than the first portion. The lens has two different diffusion rates and includes a center portion having a lens inner diameter and an outer portion surrounding the center portion. The lens inner diameter is about the same diameter as the diameter of the intermediate area. The outer portion is more diffuse than the center portion but allows light to be transmitted therethrough.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2009Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: Cooper Technologies CompanyInventors: Wei Rong, Reed Bradford, Barton Kirk Ideker, Grzegorz Wronski, Adam M. Foy

Patent number: 6536919Abstract: A light fixture assembly (100) having an electrical component module (110) which may be mounted to the fixture housing (120) without tools and without requiring additional hardware or space upon the electrical component module (110). The electrical component module (110) is capable of being held in a substantially stationary position by at least one bracket (255), at least one stop (270), and a releasable catch (265).Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2000Date of Patent: March 25, 2003Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: David M. Johnson, Lee Belknap, Reed A. Bradford, James H. Toney, Jr.

Patent number: 6502965Abstract: A lighting assembly (10) is designed to control glare or spill light from an arc discharge lamp (12). A reflector insert (40) is formed from an identical reflector housing (14) and cut into an arcuate shape. An outer perimeter (42) is secured to the reflector housing and an inner perimeter (44) is adjustably secured to the reflector for subsequent manipulation or adjustment. The reflector insert advantageously has the contour of the primary reflector.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2000Date of Patent: January 7, 2003Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventor: Reed A. Bradford

Patent number: 6497500Abstract: An asymmetric flood light includes a reflector comprised of a hydroformed continuous metal form which defines a lamp space adapted to receive a lamp. The reflector has a forward opening for outputting light generated by the associated lamp. The reflector further includes a rear reflector section arranged rearward of the lamp space and adapted to reflect backward-directed lamp illumination forward in a crossing pattern, a forward reflector section disposed forward of the rear reflector section and adapted to reflect lamp illumination forward in a crossing pattern, and a plurality of planar surfaces that connect the forward and rear reflector sections. The hydroformed reflector is adapted to cooperate with the lamp to produce a substantially rectangular area of substantially uniform illumination that is asymmetrically disposed relative to the reflector.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2001Date of Patent: December 24, 2002Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventor: Reed A. Bradford

Patent number: 6293510Abstract: An apparatus and method for mounting luminaires (A) includes a lower mounting plate (30a) having a front face (32a) and a back face (34a) adapted for attachment to a luminaire. An upper mounting plate (30b), having a front face (32b) and a back face (34b), is adapted for attachment to an electrical assembly (20). The upper and lower mounting plates are identical in configuration. The upper mounting plate selectively engages the lower mounting plate so that the upper mounting plate and the lower mounting plate are in locking relation. A hinge (50) operatively connects the upper and lower mounting plates. The hinge is adapted to swing down and suspend the luminaire while the appropriate electrical connections are made and pivot to a substantially horizontal position once the upper and lower mounting plates have been placed in locking relation.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2000Date of Patent: September 25, 2001Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Reed A. Bradford, James H. Toney
