  • Patent number: 11394191
    Abstract: A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) electrical receptacle arrangement includes an indication system for clearly indicating the operating state of the GFCI. When the GFCI is in a trip state, a first window on a reset button illuminates to indicate to the user that the reset button needs to be actuated in order to re-close the circuit supplying power to the receptacles. When the GFCI is in an end-of-life state, a second window stating “Replace receptacle” illuminates. The windows are formed in portions of a wall of a front enclosure of the GFCI that are thinner than surrounding portions. A light pipe is disposed in the interior of the GFCI housing for each window between the window and an LED. When the LED is illuminated, the light pipe facilitates illumination of the window.

  • Patent number: 11343898
    Abstract: A self-adjusting luminaire whose primary operation is to provide ambient or focused lighting in a hazardous environment is configured to modify (e.g., continuously) the energization intensity levels of its on-board illumination sources based on magnitudes of difference between an amount of light in the environment of the luminaire (e.g., including both light produced by the luminaire and ambient light) as measured by on-board sensors and a setpoint amount of light corresponding to the luminaire. Further, the self-adjusting luminaire may detect that its on-board sensors are malfunctioning when the illumination sensors fail to sense a change in the amount of light in the environment of the luminaire after the luminaire has modified the energization intensity levels of its illumination sources. Upon detecting a sensor malfunction, the self-adjusting luminaire may generate an alarm, and/or may automatically modify the intensity of its illumination sources to mitigate effects of the detected malfunction.

  • Patent number: 11287091
    Abstract: This invention is a replacement lighting system for signs that can include a first lighting assembly having LED strips disposed on opposite sides. The lighting assembly can be rotatably attached to the lamp holders. A hub can be removably connected to an external power supply, a first lighting assembly and a second lighting assembly. The lighting system can be used to replace existing lighting such as fluorescent tubes and accompanying ballasts without the need to understand remove or rewire the sign electrical components other than attaching the lighting system to the power source. The lighting assemblies can be rotated in the lamp holders to reduce or remove hot spots or dark areas. Multiple lighting assemblies can be connected end to end and be in electrical communication with the power source without necessarily needing to wire each lighting assembly to the power source.
