  • Patent number: 11898741
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an indirect lighting fixture and includes a light source assembly, a reflector structure component, a bottom structure component and an appearance structure component. The direct light from the light source assembly irradiates symmetrically on the inner surface of the reflector structure component and is reflected and diffusely reflected, and then emitted from the light outlet of the bottom structure component. The direct light of the light source assembly is designed to be invisible. This innovation transforms the hotspot direct light of the light source assembly into more soft light of the surface light source, and the high-efficiency reflector structure component allows indirect lighting fixtures to achieve high light efficiency simultaneously.

  • Patent number: 10651538
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for alternately covering and exposing feed cables to a wireless telecommunications antenna from a pole-mounted RF source. The method deploys a resiliently stretchable tubular shroud, which has a proximal opening attached near the top of the pole and a distal opening alternately attachable to a section of the antenna proximate to the cable connections or to a section of the pole below the proximal shroud opening. In the former configuration, the shroud covers and protects the feed cables, while in the latter configuration, the retracted shroud exposes the cables for repair, maintenance, replacement and/or inspection operations.

  • Patent number: 10503011
    Abstract: Aspects disclosed herein relate to a diffuser plate supporter, a backlight unit, and an electronic device, in which a portion configured to support a diffuser plate in a diffuser plate supporter is made of a transparent material and a portion to be fastened to the cover bottom is made of an opaque material, so that the diffuser plate supporter can prevent light leakage from occurring on the back side of the cover bottom without interfering with light reaching the diffuser plate. In addition, through a reinforcement design for the boundary portion between the portion made of the transparent material and the portion made of the opaque material, it is possible to prevent the portions made of different materials from being separated from each other during rotational fastening of the diffusion plate supporter.

  • Patent number: 10228096
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a flexible light fixture may be provided. The example embodiment may comprise a reflector panel comprising two substantially parallel opposing outer flanges and a flexible central portion, wherein the distance between the opposing outer flanges may be X. The example embodiment may also comprise a lens with two opposing edges wherein each opposing edge may be configured with an attachment feature configured for attachment to corresponding opposing outer flanges of the reflector panel, and wherein the distance between the opposing edges of the lens may be a distance Y, wherein distance Y may be less than distance X. When the opposing outer flanges of the reflector panel are compressed laterally together a distance that is at least distance Y and engaged by the corresponding lens attachment features, the flexible central portion of the reflector panel may be engaged in a curved compressed state.

  • Patent number: 10212782
    Abstract: A lighting fixture is provided in which the lighting fixture includes a housing configured to receive a power supply and a plurality of light emitting components positioned near a lens of the lighting fixture. The lighting fixture can operate in a first illumination mode and a second illumination mode. For example, the lighting fixture may provide white in one of the illumination modes and may provide amber light in the other mode. The lighting fixture is also able to be switched between an illuminated state and a non-illuminated state in response to receipt of a user input. The light emitting components can be switched between the first illumination mode and the second illumination mode in response to a magnetized contact applied to the exterior of the housing, where switching between the illuminated state and the non-illuminated state is independent of switching between the first and second illumination modes.

  • Patent number: 10180214
    Abstract: An adjustable LED lighting fixture which accommodates LED lights of varying lengths. The LED fixture has a central body element, and two movable end elements movably attached to two opposing sides of the central body element and extend in a direction normal to a length of the fixture. The two end elements face each other with LED pin sockets facing each other whereby an LED tube light is able to be operationally inserted into the LED pin sockets. Two slidable elements are attached to the end elements and extending in a direction in a direction along the length of the fixture and toward the other of the end elements and through a retention element. The slidable elements permit the expansion and contraction of the length of the LED fixture, by sliding relative movement toward and away from the other of the end elements, to hold LED light tubes of varying lengths.

  • Patent number: 10024501
    Abstract: An illumination apparatus includes a monolithic support substrate and light emitting diodes (LEDs) on one or more external sides of the support substrate. The support substrate may comprise an elongated extrusion enclosing a hollow core. The LEDs may be affixed to rigid or flexible electrical substrates. Each electrical substrate may be affixed to an external side of the extrusion and may include embedded LED circuitry. The hollow core may enable the extrusion to be received in a recessed socket of a light fixture, wherein the recessed socket provides structural support for the applicable end of the extrusion, rendering end caps or end socket adapters unnecessary. The light fixture may include a contact protruding from the recessed socket and the electrical substrates may include circuitry configured to couple the LEDs to a source of power not coupled to the protruding contact.
