20120087129 | POSITIONABLE LIGHTING SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A lighting assembly includes a lighting unit having a housing defining an internal cavity and an opening. A light source is assembled within the internal cavity of the housing. An electrical wire is electrically connected to the light source at a first end and is configured to be contained at least in part within the housing. The opening is configured to permit withdrawal of a user selected amount of the electrical wire from within the internal cavity and/or to permit a user selected amount of the electrical wire to be inserted into the internal cavity. | 04-12-2012 |
20110026252 | POSITIONABLE LIGHTING SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A lighting assembly includes a lighting unit having a housing defining an internal cavity and an opening. A light source is assembled within the internal cavity of the housing. An electrical wire is electrically connected to the light source at a first end and is configured to be contained at least in part within the housing. The opening is configured to permit withdrawal of a user selected amount of the electrical wire from within the internal cavity and/or to permit a user selected amount of the electrical wire to be inserted into the internal cavity. | 02-03-2011 |
20100314520 | SLOPE ADAPTING MOUNTING ARRANGEMENTS - A slope adapting mounting arrangement includes a mounting coupler and a mounting bracket. The mounting coupler is configured to attach to a fixture and includes opposed first and second projections. The mounting bracket includes a mounting base defining a mounting plane, and first and second side walls extending from the mounting base and laterally spaced to receive the mounting coupler therebetween. The first and second side walls include first and second recesses for pivotable bearing engagement with the corresponding first and second projections of the mounting coupler. The pivotable bearing engagement between the first and second protrusions and the first and second recesses permits positioning the mounting coupler at any angle within a pivot range of the mounting coupler with respect to a mount axis substantially perpendicular to the mounting plane. The pivotable bearing engagement also prevents the mounting coupler from axially rotating with respect to the mounting bracket. | 12-16-2010 |
20100123062 | MOUNTING AND RETAINING ARRANGEMENTS FOR HANDHELD DEVICES - A mountable retainer for a handheld device includes a receiver plate and a user operable release latch. The receiver plate is structured to be mounted to a wall surface and includes an inner perimeter wall sized to axially receive the handheld device. The release latch is at least partially disposed on the inner perimeter wall and includes a device retaining member extending laterally inward of the inner perimeter wall for engagement with an outer portion of the handheld device, wherein the release latch is laterally movable from a device engaging position to a device releasing position for removal of the handheld device from the receiver plate. | 05-20-2010 |
20090323339 | POSITIONABLE LIGHTING ASSEMBLIES - A lighting assembly includes a housing, a light source at least partially disposed in the housing, a mounting stem including a joint portion secured to the housing, a fastening member axially fixed to and rotatable with respect to the mounting stem, and a mounting member configured to affix to an external surface. The mounting member includes an attachment portion configured to selectively attach to the fastening member. When the fastening member is attached to the attachment portion of the mounting member, the fastening member is tightened against the mounting stem to secure the mounting stem in a desired rotational position with respect to the mounting member. | 12-31-2009 |
20090098764 | POSITIONABLE LIGHTING SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A lighting assembly includes a lighting unit having a housing defining an internal cavity and an opening. A light source is assembled within the internal cavity of the housing. An electrical wire is electrically connected to the light source at a first end and is configured to be contained at least in part within the housing. The opening is configured to permit withdrawal of a user selected amount of the electrical wire from within the internal cavity and/or to permit a user selected amount of the electrical wire to be inserted into the internal cavity. | 04-16-2009 |
20090027900 | POSITIONABLE OUTDOOR LIGHTING - In one embodiment, a submersible LED lighting assembly is provided with at least one LED carried by a housing and thermally coupled to a heat sink carried by the housing to permit the submersible LED lighting assembly to be used in a dry environment. The exemplary lighting assembly is further provided with a water-tight light-transmitting member covering the at least one LED and cooperating with the housing to seal the at least one LED to permit the submersible LED lighting assembly to be used while immersed in water. | 01-29-2009 |
