A mounting assembly to mount a device onto a pole, has a reversible plate configured to engage a housing in one of two orientations, depending on whether the pole presents a flat surface or a curved surface. The plate has a first or flat surface, a second or curved surface, and opposing side edges, each of the side edges having a first sliding engagement formation. The housing has a main panel, and opposing side panels, the main panel configured for attachment to the device, each of the side panels having a second sliding engagement formation complementary to the first sliding engagement formation.

Mounting assembly

Lighting fixture

A housing has a component storage cavity and an open bottom. A door covers and uncovers the open bottom. The door preferably has a latch that can be released with one hand. A window in the door transmits light from the housing. A partition divides the component storage cavity into a lamp section and a control component section. There is an opening through the partition. A removable control component mounting plate is dimensioned to cover the opening and thus become part of the control component section. A removable lamp reflector lies inside the housing behind the window. The mounting plate and reflector preferably each have a latch that can be released with one hand.

A computer implemented system for assisting an operator in designing and customizing a virtual luminaire by selecting options. As the operator selects options, the system may display a sample of that option or a sample of the final luminaire. The system may adjust the options that the operator may select to prevent the operator from selecting incompatible or undesirable combinations of options. The system may make recommendations for placement of an option or additional options. The system may stores copies of the luminaire, usable for incorporation into documents or files that can be printed or submitted electronically. Additional information such as pricing or inventory data may also be provided.

Computer implemented system for luminaire design

A component carrying tray is removably mounted in a luminaire housing. The luminaire housing has a pair of thumb screws that fit in a pair of key holes shaped opening in the tray so the tray can be removed with one hand. To disengage the tray, a maintenance person simply loosens the thumb screws one quarter turn to align them with the holes, lifts the tray off the thumb screws with one hand, and then pulls the tray out of luminaire housing.

A hinge mechanism for a lighting assembly has a base with a slot, a shuttle guide extending from edges of the slot, a shuttle coupled with the base and capable of sliding through the slot and shuttle guide between an up position and a down position, and a link rotatably coupled to an end of the shuttle. An angle between the shuttle guide and the base is acute to allow the shuttle to easily slide into the shuttle guide. The base has a catch lip that extends from a back edge of the slot, wherein the catch lip is capable of deflecting the link slightly as the shuttle passes through the slot. Apertures in the shuttle and the shuttle guide align when the shuttle is in the up position. The link has a lip that inserts into the apertures in the shuttle and the shuttle guide to releasably hold the shuttle in the up position. The shuttle has tabs on an upper end of its back side to keep the shuttle from dislodging from the shuttle guide.

Hinge mechanism for outdoor lighting assembly

A globe lighting assembly comprises a metal cage, a plastic globe at least partially surrounded by the metal cage, a reflector reflecting light from a light source throughout the globe, and a socket clip disposable into the reflector. The socket clip includes legs having at least one position along each of the legs corresponding to settings for the light source in the reflector. The metal cage has lower and upper rings, and prongs which all surround and give structural support for at least one of an upper portion and a lower door of the globe. The upper portion is hingedly connected to the lower door. The lower door has a circular rim that fits into an inner surface of the lower ring when the globe is in the closed position. As a result, the circular rim of the lower portion is not viewable from the outside of the globe. The lower ring of the cage has an inner circular lip that aids in preventing moisture from entering an interior of the globe. The upper portion of the globe has a bottom edge that attaches to the lower ring just to an outside of the inner circular lip to aid in preventing moisture from entering the interior of the globe. The prongs are aligned with flanges and lip extensions extending from the inner circular lip. The prongs are spaced approximately equally from each other around the globe.

Globe lighting assembly

Outdoor luminaire

An interchangeable outdoor luminaire includes a housing having a circular top rim and a circular bottom rim with a circumferential recess, a plurality of interchangeable tops, and a plurality of interchangeable light transmissive doors. Each top has a circular rim with a flange that corresponds to the top surface of the housing, and each door has a circular rim with a circular edge that corresponds to the bottom surface of the housing. Because the dimensions of the circular rims of the tops are the same, and the dimensions of the circular rims of the doors are the same, any of the tops for the housing can be used with in conjunction with any of the light transmissive doors.
