Luminaire

A luminaire includes a frame defining an opening, the frame having first and second frame edges on opposite sides of the opening. The luminaire also includes a carriage disposed within the opening, the carriage having a front face and first and second carriage edges on opposite sides of the front face, and one or more light sources arranged on the carriage. The luminaire further includes a tilting mechanism arranged such that the carriage is tiltable in at least two directions within the opening, and wherein when the carriage is tilted in a first direction from the central position, the first carriage edge remains proximate the first frame edge; and when the carriage is tilted in a second direction from the central position, the second carriage edge remains proximate the second frame edge.

Rotatable linear downlight

A wall wash lighting assembly is provided for a recessed light fixture mountable on a ceiling. The lighting assembly includes an optical assembly and a trim face plate connected thereto. The optical assembly has a first kicker reflector, a second kicker reflector and a light-shaping optical film. The first kicker reflector reflects light from a light source. The second kicker reflector reflects light received from the first kicker reflector toward an adjacent wall. The light-shaping optical film spreads light from the light source and the first and second kicker reflectors in a uniform light pattern in a target area, such as onto the adjacent wall or downward in a direction parallel to the adjacent wall. The trim face plate has a trim opening through which light is outputted onto the target area. The lighting assembly can employ detachable fasteners to allow for the interchangeability of the optical film and the trim face plate.

Optical and mechanical assembly for wall wash lighting

An adjustment mechanism for directional recessed luminaires includes a tilt adjustment screwand rotation adjustment screwsupported in adjacent positions on a bearing ring, the screws being oriented vertically and conveniently accessible through an open center of the bearing ring. Followertravels vertically on the tilt adjustment screw when rotated. Drive linkconnected to both the follower and a four bar linkage (), transfers force from the follower to the linkage when the tilt screw is rotated. The linkage pivots about anchor pointsand is pivotally connected to lamp carrier framesupporting light source. When the tilt adjustment screw is rotated, light source moves along a path (FIG.) to aim the light beam. After aiming, the mechanism locks the light source into place. The mechanism is compact and the adjustment screws are easily accessible from beneath the mechanism.

A mounting system for a recessed luminaire includes an upper frameto fit within a cutout openingin a ceiling, including pivotally mounted support leversto overlap the upper surface of the ceiling. A lower framefits within the opening and has a trim facethat is configured to abut against the room-side surface of the ceiling. Clamping screwsfasten the lower frame to the upper frame and are adjustable to clamp varying thicknesses of ceilings between the support levers and the trim face when the screws are tightened. Fastenersfasten a luminaireto the lower frame, which is installed through the lower and upper frames, from the room-side of the ceiling. The mounting system and luminaire may be completely installed from below a ceiling that has limited space above the ceiling or when access above the ceiling is not available.

Recessed luminaire vise-like mounting system and method

A mounting assembly for a lighting fixture includes a fixture shield and an optic housing coupled at least in part to the fixture shield and having a light-emitting surface. The assembly further includes a heat sink movably coupled to the fixture shield in an initial low position, the heat sink being self-adjusting to one or more high positions relative to the fixture shield in direct response to displacement caused by one or more objects contained within the optic housing.

Self-adjusting light-emitting diode optical system

A mounting assembly includes a stationary plate for supporting and linearly adjusting a recessed fixture in a parallel direction relative to structural framing members. Telescoping mounting bars are fixed to a building structure and allow adjustability of the stationary plate in a direction generally perpendicular to structural framing members. An adjustable plate has a plurality of linear guides received in a linear movable manner within a corresponding one of linear guide slots of the stationary plate. A linear locking member is adjustably secured in one of the linear guide slots such that linear movement of the adjustable plate is prevented relative to the stationary plate when the linear locking member is in a locked position, linear movement of the adjustable plate being allowed relative to the stationary plate in a direction parallel to the structural framing members when the linear locking member is in an adjustable position.

Translating aperture adjustment for a recessed luminaire

A mounting platform for a lighting fixture comprising a substantially flat plate and an integral cutting guide. The integral cutting guide includes an aperture formed through the substantially flat plate and a flange formed around a perimeter of the aperture. The flange and the substantially flat plate intersect in a curve. The flange can form an angle of less than 90 degrees with respect to the bottom surface. The mounting platform can also include elongated slots for securing the mounting platform to a ceiling support member. The elongated slots are of a sufficient length to allow the mounting platform to be secured to the ceiling support member to allow placement of the integral cutting guide between a first ceiling support member and a second ceiling support member. The span between the first and second ceiling support members can be in the range of approximately 16 to 24 inches.

Lighting fixture mounting platform

A lighting assembly for a recessed luminaire includes a plaster frame for supporting the recessed luminaire and a pair of telescoping bars for attaching the plaster frame to framing support members. The telescoping bars include a first bar and a second bar, each of the bars having a generally S-shaped cross-sectional profile that is defined by a center curve joining a first area and a second area, which are generally hook-shaped and extend perpendicularly from the center curve in opposing directions. The first area of the first bar is overlappingly positioned at least in part within the second area of the second bar, and the first area of the second bar is overlappingly positioned at least in part within the second area of the second bar whereby the first and second bars are mated in an inverted and opposed adjacent relationship allowing sliding extension of the bars.

Mechanical and electrical track lighting adaptor

An apparatus is provided for securing a trim frame to a housing member in a recessed lighting fixture. The apparatus includes a spring associated with the trim frame having a top edge, a left edge, a right edge, and a bottom edge, a left portion, a right portion, and a center portion between the left portion and the right portion. The left portion is connected to the center portion along a first bend, and the right portion is connected to the center portion along a second bend. The left portion includes a first lead-in portion formed by a third bend and a first retention portion formed by a fourth bend, and the right portion includes a second lead-in portion formed by a fifth bend and a second retention portion formed by a sixth bend.

Apparatus for securing a trim frame to a recessed housing member and a method of making thereof

A connector is provided for electrically connecting a coaxial cable having a conductive inner wire surrounded by a conductive outer jacket and an insulator therebetween to a two-wire circuit. The connector comprises a conductive bottom contact member having a first passageway dimensioned to fit only the inner wire and the insulator therethrough and to block the conductive outer jacket. A conductive top contact member has a second passageway for the inner wire and the insulator and a clamping member for securing the inner wire to the top contact member. An insulating member for electrically separates the bottom contact member from the top contact member. A pendant-style light fixture using the coaxial connector is also disclosed.
