Patent number: 9709253Abstract: A recessed light fixture includes an LED module, which includes a single LED package that is configured to generate all light emitted by the recessed light fixture. For example, the LED package can include multiple LEDs mounted to a common substrate. The LED package can be coupled to a heat sink for dissipating heat from the LEDs. The heat sink can include a core member from which fins extend. Each fin can include one or more straight and/or curved portions. A reflector housing may be coupled to the heat sink and configured to receive a reflector. The reflector can have any geometry, such as a bell-shaped geometry including two radii of curvature that join together at an inflection point.

Patent number: 9589487Abstract: A system can combine edgelit signage and edgelit illumination. The system can comprise two edgelit lightguide sections, one supporting signage and another supporting illumination. The lightguide section that supports signage can comprise a backlit face inscribed with text or graphics conveying an emergency message. The lightguide section that supports illumination can comprise a face patterned with features that release light, for example for emergency illumination. The two lightguide sections can be two areas of a single edgelit lightguide. The two lightguide sections can alternatively formed from two separate lightguides. In some examples, one or more illumination lightguide sections can be configured as a trim plate.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2015Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: Cooper Technologies CompanyInventors: Kraig Kasler, Westly Davis Hetrick, Scott Formel, Dylan Isaac James, Reed Alan Bradford, Scott David Wegner

Patent number: 9485826Abstract: A lighting device includes a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) configured to emit a light. The lighting device further includes a color controller configured to repeatedly assert and deactivate a control signal to control whether one or more LEDs of the plurality of LEDs are turned on or turned off. The color controller asserts the control signal for a first time period and deactivates the control signal for a second time period, where a color of the light emitted by the plurality of LEDs depends on the first time period and the second time period. The color controller changes the color of the light emitted by the plurality of LEDs by changing one or both of the first time period and the second time period.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2014Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: Cooper Technologies CompanyInventors: Christopher Lee Bohler, Li Li, Scott David Wegner

Publication number: 20150346424Abstract: A lighting system can comprise an edgelit panel, for example a lightguide that may have a panel or slab shape with an edge that receives light from an array of light emitting diodes extending along the edge. The lightguide can guide the received light towards an opposing edge of the lightguide and gradually release light to provide illumination. An optic can manage light that reaches the opposing edge of the lightguide, for example via softening, spreading, concentrating, or diffusing the light. The optic can be mounted to or integrated in the opposing edge of the lightguide.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2015Publication date: December 3, 2015Inventors: Jose Antonio Laso, Adam Moore Foy, Scott David Wegner

Patent number: 9188294Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED)-based optically indirect luminaire includes a reflector that receives light generated by an LED light source platform and reflects the light beyond the platform into a space to be illuminated. The LED light source platform can be configured as a pendant that is suspended from the reflector by one or more supports or cables. The LED light source platform can include a heat sink that receives the LEDs and the printed circuit board (PCB) they are disposed upon so that the LEDs are visible to the reflector and hidden from view. An optional lens can be included that covers the LEDs and PCB to protect them from dust and moisture.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2013Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: Cooper Technologies CompanyInventors: Scott David Wegner, Jose Antonio Laso, Christopher Michael Bryant

Patent number: 8911132Abstract: Optic entrance features may be used to optically control light transfer from a light source to a light emitting panel (LEP). In a particular embodiment, an LEP includes a first LEP side configured to emit light. The LEP also includes a second LEP side. The first LEP side and the second LEP side are opposite sides of the LEP. The LEP further includes a cutout area providing an air gap in the LEP through the first LEP side and the second LEP side. The LEP also includes a light receiving side. The cutout area is proximal to the light receiving side, and the light receiving side is configured to pass light through towards the cutout area.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: Cooper Technologies CompanyInventors: Adam Moore Foy, Scott David Wegner

Patent number: 8696169Abstract: A light fixture includes a core member having a top end, a bottom end, and a body extending between the top and bottom ends. The core member includes a solid, single member or modular members. The body includes outer surfaces (“facets”) spaced along an outer perimeter thereof. Each facet can receive one or more light emitting diode (“LED”) packages in various different positions, with different electrical and other configurations. Heat pipes extending through the core member dissipate heat from the LEDs. Active cooling modules and/or fins may assist with this heat dissipation.
