Abstract: The present invention relates generally to tessellated bezel light diffusers which act to disperse penumbral light providing more uniform and even illumination. The present invention also relates to luminaires employing an array of light sources with tessellated bezel light diffusers which act to eliminate edge and transition lighting effects providing more uniform and even illumination between LEDs and at the periphery of illuminated zones. The present invention also relates to luminaires employing LED arrays equipped with tessellated bezel light diffusers that provide very uniform illumination zones with more evenly dispersed transitional edge lighting than conventional luminaires.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to low glare illumination arrays and luminaires which act to disperse light into a three-dimensional space providing more uniform and even illumination with reduced glare. The present invention also relates to luminaires and illumination systems employing an array of solid state light sources with shaped bezel light diffusers which act to reduce glare and provide more uniform and even illumination of surfaces and spaces. The present invention also relates to luminaires employing a plurality of linear LED arrays equipped with shaped bezel light diffusers collectively oriented at a common acute angle, optionally including internally curved reflective or non-reflective surfaces to provide improved illumination with reduced glare.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a means for vertically suspending a single lighting element or a plurality of lighting elements within a rail system using one or a plurality of wedge pin suspension systems that employ a wedge pin securing device and a receptive collar assembly to grip and secure in place one or a plurality of electrical cables having at least two insulated conductive electrical leads to provide both vertical support and electrical power to the suspended lighting elements. The present disclosure further relates to a manually adjustable and reservable wedge pin securing device configured for easy manipulation, yet providing a secure vertical suspension means using a lighting system's own electrical cable for support based on combined frictional and gravitational forces.

Abstract: A fixture having a cylindrical body, said body having an internal cavity extending from a first end to a second end, and said body having an exterior threaded portion, a flange affixed to the first end of the body, a portion of said flange extending past the circumference of the cylindrical body, said flange formed for receiving an electrical component, and a fastener complementary to the threaded portion, wherein the fastener and the flange are operable to secure the cylindrical body to a structure. An electrical component such as a luminaire, a switch or an electrical receptacle may be mounted into the flange portion of the fixture. A retainer may also be employed to distribute the load on the cylindrical body when positioned over the body and secured by the fastener.
