20130265761 | LED Light Fixture with Inter-Fin Air-Flow Interrupters - An LED light fixture including a plurality of upwardly-protruding elongate fins extending therealong from distal fin-ends to proximal fin-ends adjacent to upward-flow openings through the fixture, the fins defining horizontal between-fin channels open at the distal fin-ends, and a plurality of flow-interrupters between adjacent fins changing air flow along the channels. The flow-interrupters may be less than half the heights of their respective between-fin channels and may be mounting bosses to serve the further purpose of facilitating assembly of the fixture. | 10-10-2013 |
20140049957 | LED DOWNLIGHT - A lighting device includes a substrate, a light emitting diode (LED) array mounted on a first surface of the substrate, and circuit components mounted on the first surface of the substrate and coupled to the LED array wherein the circuit components are adapted to control electrical power applied to the LED array. A heat exchanger is mounted on a second surface of the substrate and a reflector is disposed about the LED array wherein the reflector has a reflection surface that is convex on a first side of an inflection locus and concave on a second side of the inflection locus, and wherein the first side of the inflection locus is proximate the LED array. A diffuser is adjacent the second side of the inflection locus of the reflector. | 02-20-2014 |
20140104836 | High-Output LED Light Fixture - An LED floodlight fixture LED light fixture including a plurality of heat-sink-mounted LED-array modules, each module engaging an LED-adjacent surface of a heat-sink base for transfer of heat from the module, and at least one venting aperture through the heat-sink base to provide air ingress to the heat-dissipating surfaces adjacent to the aperture. The LED light fixture may include a plurality of heat sinks, each heat sink with its own heat-dissipating surfaces and heat-sink base which has one of the LED-array modules engaged thereon. The heat-sink base is wider than the module thereon such that the heat-sink base includes a beyond-module portion. The venting aperture(s) is/are through the beyond-module portion of the heat-sink base. The inventive light fixture may include a housing and an LED assembly which includes the heat-sink-mounted LED-array modules. The LED assembly and the housing form a venting gap therebetween to provide air ingress along the heat-sink base to the heat-dissipating surfaces. | 04-17-2014 |
20140119036 | Light Fixture - A light fixture including a mounting assembly for securing the light fixture to a static structure. The mounting assembly includes a gripper attachable to the static structure and a bar having a gripping region and a first end secured with respect to a main body portion of the light fixture. The mounting assembly may be adjustable such that the light fixture is held in a selected one of a plurality of possible orientations. In such embodiments, the gripper and the bar are configured for a finite number of the orientations such that the light fixture is held in a selected one of a plurality of orientations. | 05-01-2014 |
20140177226 | LED Lighting Apparatus with Facilitated Heat Transfer and Fluid Seal - LED lighting apparatus including (a) a circuit board which has a plurality of light sources spaced thereon, (b) a heat sink to which the circuit board is thermally coupled, and (c) a securement structure which includes a rigid peripheral structure applying force along a peripheral area of the circuit board toward the heat sink to increase the thermal coupling therebetween to facilitate heat transfer from the light sources during operation. The lighting apparatus may also include an optical member with a plurality of lens portions over corresponding light sources and a peripheral region, the securement structure engaging the peripheral region which sandwiches a gasket against the heat sink. The apparatus may use manipulation involving surface convexity, such as bowing, thereby allowing the securement structure to further facilitate surface-to-surface thermal coupling between the circuit board and the heat sink. | 06-26-2014 |
20140218944 | Mounting Assembly for Light Fixture - A mounting assembly for securing a light fixture to a static structure. The mounting assembly includes a bar and a securing member which has a bar-gripping portion and an arm portion extending from the bar-gripping portion and attachable to the static structure. The bar is secured with respect to a main body portion of the light fixture. The bar has an axis. The arm portion has an arm axis which is substantially orthogonal to the bar axis. In another aspect of this invention, the mounting assembly includes a fixture-holding portion and an arm portion secured to the fixture-holding portion. The fixture-holding portion is secured with respect to the light fixture. The arm portion configured for selective attachment to a substantially cylindrical static structure and a substantially planar surface. | 08-07-2014 |
20140252940 | Light Fixture - An LED light fixture including a heat-sink body having a circuit-board mounting surface and an aperture member supported over the circuit-board mounting surface and forming an optical aperture. An LED circuit board is affixed in thermal-contact relationship to the circuit-board mounting surface in position between the mounting surface and the aperture member, the circuit board having an LED-populated area and a surrounding non-LED-populated area which extends beyond the optical aperture. In some other embodiments, the fixture is a low-profile LED light fixture including a cover and a base plate which has a substantially planar back surface, a front surface and heat-dissipating surfaces extending forward from the front surface. An LED circuit board and at least one LED power-circuitry unit, which are secured with respect to the front surface along side the heat-dissipating surfaces, do not extend behind the back surface of the base plate. The aspect ratio of the cross-section of the fixture orthogonal to the base plate between the back surface of the base plate and a forwardmost surface of the cover is greater than about 6. | 09-11-2014 |
