  • Patent number: 11543109
    Abstract: An environmentally sealed light fixture for illuminating potentially hazardous environments. The sealed light fixture includes multiple light modules that are independently rotatable to customize the direction of light emitted from the fixture. The fixture is also modular and scalable, enabling additional light modules to be added to increase lumen output or area coverage. The sealed light fixture includes sealed light chambers, electronics chambers, and sealed connections between the modules for maintaining the integrity as well as concealing the wiring and electrical connections within the light fixture.

  • Patent number: 10634285
    Abstract: A light fixture includes a fixture housing. In some examples, an optic that includes silicone and is at least 5 inches in diameter is coupled to the fixture housing, and the light fixture is compliant with standard UL-844. In various examples, a top cap assembly is coupled to the fixture housing natively or as a retrofit kit. The top cap assembly includes a top cap and an interface ring, and allows for the light fixture to be attached to an existing top cap.
