  • Patent number: 10429019
    Abstract: A light fixture includes at least one elongated strut and a socket formed on each strut. Each strut includes a first end, a second end, and an arcuate portion extending between the first end and the second end. An axis extends between the first end and the second end. The arcuate portion extending at least partially around the axis. The socket includes a ridge and a surface supporting a first light-emitting element. The surface is recessed relative to the ridge such that the light emitted by the light-emitting element is directed at an acute angle relative to the axis.

  • Patent number: 9995462
    Abstract: An LED module includes a circular body member for mounting in a lighting assembly or luminaire that can be oriented in an opening in the luminaire by rotating the module about a center axis to a predetermined position to direct the light in a selected pattern. A mounting assembly captures the LED modules between top and bottom mounting members. The LED modules include a heat conducting body coupled to the mounting assembly to conduct heat away from the LED and PCB. A top side of the LED body cooperates with the mounting assembly. A bottom side of the LED body has a cavity supporting a PCB with a plurality of LEDs. A lens body is coupled to the bottom side of the body of the LED module to direct the light to the target area.

  • Patent number: 9433042
    Abstract: A device and system for controlling a light source. The device has a positive terminal and a negative terminal for setting the high-end trim of a light source, the device includes several zener diodes each having a different zener voltage; and a selector having a plurality of positions, positioning the selector in each of the plurality of positions couples a corresponding one of the zener diodes between the positive terminal and the negative terminal. The cathode of the selected zener diode is coupled to the positive terminal and the anode of the selected zener diode is coupled to the negative terminal. The selected zener diode limits the voltage across the positive terminal and the negative terminal to set the high-end trim of a 0-10 volt lighting control signal.
