  • Publication number: 20260160394
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to various embodiments to enable the assembly, construction, and operation of a miniature integrated LED lamp comprising an envelope positioned at a distal end of a solid body portion and a base positioned at a proximal end of the solid body. The envelope further comprises a transparent light diffuser enclosing a semi-cylindrical light pipe containing one or more LEDs populated on its external surface and a LED driver positioned internally within a formed lumen of the light pipe. The light pipe and LED driver are physically and or electrically connected to a cylindrical heatsink encapsulated within the envelope and body portion of the bulb, facilitating thermal management. The envelope and base are assembled together with one or more specific lamp bases to form an LED lamp satisfying performance standards suitable for retrofit or replacement of a standard INC or halogen lamp.

  • Patent number: 12590682
    Abstract: An apparatus and system for mounting an exterior illumination fixture to the roof of a building or other structure. Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide for a roof-mounted attachment apparatus comprising a metal plate comprising one or more apertures (i.e., nail holes) and at least one fastener extending through the metal plate. In certain embodiments, the at least one fastener is coupled to the metal plate such that the lower surface of the metal plate sits flush when installed on a surface of a roof. In accordance with certain aspects of the present disclosure, an exterior illumination fixture is configured to be coupled to the upper surface of the metal plate via the at least one fastener to enable one or more exterior lighting applications.
