  • Publication number: 20250320987
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to track lighting systems that can be permanently installed and luminaires having multiple LEDs to be used with the track lighting system. In various aspects, a luminaire includes a housing having a body which defines a recess having a ledge. The luminaire also includes a lens continuous with the body and extending away from the body. Additionally, the luminaire includes a circuit board housed within the recess, where the circuit board has a cluster of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) including three (3) LEDs disposed in an equilateral triangle on a front surface of the circuit board. The circuit board also a controller for controlling the cluster of LEDs and receiving instructions from an instructor. The circuit board abuts the ledge of the recess such that the cluster of LEDs are oriented towards the lens and emit light from the lens when the cluster of LEDs are powered.

  • Patent number: 8926118
    Abstract: A device for mounting lights to a structure. The device has a channel defining an enclosure. A surface of the channel includes one or more openings through which light bulbs are substantially wholly or partly visible. The device can be attached to a structure with various attachment mechanisms. In one embodiment, the channel is directly attached to the structure. In other embodiments, a detachable clip assembly is utilized. The channel can include a securing mechanism to secure the light bulb substantially in the opening. This securing mechanism can also function as a J clip to secure the channel to the structure. The channel can include a sloped drip cap. The device can be adapted to a wide variety of structures and light displays.
