Patent number: 7325938Abstract: An indirector light fixture is described wherein the fixture is comprised of a reflector housing and a ballast housing connected together by a support arm. The reflector housing may be positioned relative to the ballast housing by movement of the support arm and maintained therein by a ratchet and pawl mechanism or other rotational restriction device. The ballast housing and ballast electronics are connected to the lamp within the reflector housing by ballast feed wires which are maintained internal of the entire fixture thereby preventing the wires from becoming entangled during installation or after installation. Additional structure is provided to further allow adjustment of the head angle relative to the ballast housing.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2005Date of Patent: February 5, 2008Assignee: Genlyte Thomas Group, LLCInventors: Michael K. Yoshida, Thomas Russello

Patent number: 7320533Abstract: The in-ground, or “well light”, fixture comprises a hollow cylindrical housing with an angled end and an flat end, a lamp assembly easily mounted at either end, and a baffle. The lamp assembly is rotatably and vertically adjustable within the housing and either the angled end or the flat end may be placed upward by virtue of a pair of channels extending down the length of the housing. Fasteners are provided on the lamp assembly for attaching one or more filters above the lamp face and to create a protective air gap that prevents debris from accumulating on the lamp.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2006Date of Patent: January 22, 2008Inventor: Joshua Z.

Publication number: 20080013327Abstract: A light fixture removably attachable to a stationary socket includes a lamp socket mounted for receiving a lamp and a connector which is electrically engageable with such stationary socket. The connector is attached in spaced relationship to the lamp socket and is electrically connected thereto. The light fixture may include a housing having the lamp socket mounted therein with the connector attached to the housing in one of a rigid, hinged and swivel manner. The light fixture is advantageous for converting a unidirectional recessed light fixture into a multidirectional light fixture.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2006Publication date: January 17, 2008Inventors: Mark Higgins, Vivian Hurd

Patent number: 7311422Abstract: An angle-adjustable recessed lamp structure comprises: a lamp bulb, a lamp holder, a rotatory carrier, and a mounting base. The rotatory carrier is securely screwed onto a track frame, which has a hollow sliding slot on the center of the arc-shaped body. The track frame is securely screwed on the fixing base via a fixing plate that locates on the rearward of the track frame. The fixing plate has two holding notches extending downward from both ends thereof for holding and positioning a rotation shaft. The rotation shaft is securely coupled with the coupling portion to enable the lamp holder to be rotatable by using pivotal connection between the rotatory carrier and the lamp holder. The lamp holder is upwards/downwards rotatable along the sliding slot within approximate 70 angles.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2006Date of Patent: December 25, 2007Inventor: Yen-Chang Chen

Publication number: 20070291497Abstract: The pendent style luminaire split design incorporates generally a housing split into sections, a first section of the housing is attached to the top member located at the mounting arm while the second section of the housing is attached to the lens frame. The second section swings about a hinge between the first section and the lens frame. In the open position of the luminaire, the design allows for the convenience of “hands free” maintenance of both the lamp and the electrical component assembly of the luminaire at the same time. A sealed optical chamber is created, since neither the lens nor lens frame is needed to be separated from the reflector to gain access to the lamp.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2007Publication date: December 20, 2007Applicant: Genlyte Thomas Group, LLCInventor: Eric M.
