  • Patent number: 8770804
    Abstract: An architectural light fixture with a mounting includes a rigid yoke with opposed mounts aligned with external cavities located on a housing. The cavities have conical inner surfaces and bottoms with fastener engagements. Yoke pins include conical outer surfaces to operate as yoke locks. Fastener associated with the yoke pins engage to draw the yoke locks into interfering fit with the truncated conical inner surface of the mounting cavity. The light fixture housing has a port with a plug of porous water repellant material. A cover is employed to protect the plug. The light fixture housing also has a flat mounting surface with a wire access hole. The fixture includes a cover to enclose a photocell biased toward the mounting surface and retains an O-ring against the fixture housing.

  • Patent number: 6402337
    Abstract: A bollard style light fixture, which allows the user to vary the fixture's light distribution pattern, while also eliminating the fixture's emission of glare. The fixture of this invention is also designed to absorb a minor amount of shock without damage, and provides a mechanism whereby the fixture may be quickly and easily leveled and releveled even after installation. The fixture of this invention comprises a base; a compressible base pad upon which the base rests; a support sleeve vertically extending from the base; a light source located within the support sleeve; a light-emitting window located on the support sleeve opposite the base; and an adjustable cap assembly located atop the light-emitting window vertically adjustable for variably covering the light-emitting window, thus varying the light distribution pattern of the fixture and redirecting the light rays towards the ground, eliminating glare.
