Captive latch for a fluorescent lighting fixture

A mounting structure and associated mounting bracket for a board containing multiple LED lights is the subject of this invention. It is particularly designed for use in converting a conventional fluorescent tube housing to an LED board housing. The mounting structure includes arms which are received in a support bracket and are held by the bracket at a desirable angle. LED boards may be quickly and easily mounted to or removed from the mounting structure which in turn is easily removable from the support bracket.

Captive latch for fluorescent light fixture

A fluorescent lamp fixture for mounting a ballast and at least one fluorescent lamp and a method of dissipating heat from the same is disclosed. The fixture comprises a molded housing defining a groove and a hat-shaped metal strip having an outer wall with at least two surfaces in contact with the sides of the groove and at least one flange in contact with the top of the housing. The metal strip also has a pair of inner walls positioned relative to the outer wall so as to define a chamber. At least one fastener is slidably held by the strip such that a portion of the fastener is retained within the chamber and slides along the inner walls. The fastener secures a ballast in direct contact with the flanges whereby heat from the ballast is transferred to the metal strip and dissipated from the housing during use.

A luminaire having a plurality of LED boards mounted within a housing is provided. Each LED board has at least one light emitting diode mounted thereon and an axis extending from a first end of the board to a second end of the board. Each LED board is adjusted about its respective axis to an orientation that is unique from at least two other LED boards.
