  • 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.

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: 8096686
    Abstract: A lighting fixture is provided that includes a ceiling pan having an opening with a trim received therein. The trim includes a ring with a spring clip attached thereto. The spring clip includes first and second legs having a first end joined at an apex and second free end opposite the first end. The second free ends are fixed to the trim to bias the spring clip in a downward direction to engage a top surface of the ceiling pan and bias the trim in an upward direction toward the ceiling pan. In one embodiment, the ends of the spring clip are fixed to the trim by a screw. In another embodiment, the spring clip is a torsion spring engaging the trim and includes first and second legs with a portion extending therefrom and received in an aperture in the trim. The ends are oriented at an inclined angle with respect to the legs such that when the legs are attached to the trim, the legs are biased in a downward direction with respect to the ceiling pan. The torsion spring clip can be retrofit to the trim ring.

  • Patent number: 7622701
    Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a cupola and photocontrol receptacle assembly that allows a user to adjust the direction of the cupola base and the photocontrol receptacle simultaneously without using tools. A fixture housing may have an opening for receiving a photocontrol receptacle connection member and one or more ribs located in proximity to the fixture housing opening. A cupola base may include an opening for receiving the connection member and features adapted to detachably engaged the fixture housing ribs. In addition, a spring may be coupled to the connection member and configured to allow the photocontrol receptacle to move in a first direction upon the application of a force in the first direction and recoil when the force is removed or decreased.
