  • Patent number: 9488350
    Abstract: A recessed lighting fixture includes a lamp housing and a separate compact junction box, which contains a power supply that drives the lamp and serves in part to divide the interior cavity of the junction box into two separate wiring compartments. The junction box has two end walls spaced along an axis and a releasably secured. The lighting fixture is particularly suitable for retrofit installations, especially where small aperture downlights are desired.

    Abstract: A recessed lighting fixture includes a lamp housing and a separate compact junction box, which contains a power supply that drives the lamp and serves in part to divide the interior cavity of the junction box into two separate wiring compartments. The junction box has two end walls spaced along an axis and a releasably secured, sleeve-like cover (side wall) surrounding and closing the cavity. The cover can be moved axially in either direction relative to the end walls to open the wiring compartments. The junction box and the lamp housing are mechanically connected only by a flexible conduit and a flexible tether, which prevents undue strain on the electrical connections between the joined components. The lighting fixture is particularly suitable for retrofit installations, especially where small-aperture downlights are desired.

  • Patent number: 8770779
    Abstract: A wall wash lighting fixture includes a light source, a light pipe below the light source and a reflector offset from and surrounding the lower end of the light pipe. The lower end of the light pipe has an oblique, light-emitting face that provides uniform wall illumination up to a high vertical angle. The reflector faces substantially away from the wall and provides room-side illumination below about 45 vertical degrees. A preferred embodiment is suited for retrofit recessed installation, especially where small-aperture downlights are desired.

  • Patent number: 8079728
    Abstract: A lighting device including a test device for testing the proper operation of a primary and a secondary power supply alternatively providing electrical power to the light. The test device is attached to a bracket using a single fastener such as a nut and the bracket is attached to a receptacle for the light using a different single fastener, such as a pop-rivet or screw.
