An in-grade light assembly can include an inner housing assembly. The inner housing assembly can include a body and a collar configured to slidingly engage with the body so as to create an interference fit between the collar and an outer structure. The collar can include a base and a flexible portion. The flexible portion can be one or more fingers.

Light fixture with expanding collar

A light fixture can include a light housing and a light cartridge. The light cartridge can be configured to releasably and/or electrically connect to a portion of the light housing. In some embodiments, the light cartridge includes a collar movably connected to the cartridge and configured to rotate with respect to the cartridge. Rotation of the collar can facilitate attachment and/or release of the cartridge from the light housing. In some cases, the cartridge includes a releasable driver, one or more lenses, one or more beam reflectors, one or more diffusers, and/or other electrical and optical components.

Light fixture with tiltable sealed light source

Disclosed is an outdoor light fixture assembly having a housing and a lens module. The lens module is removable from the housing for servicing. The removable lens module includes a socket for one or more light sources and a lens. The outdoor light fixture further includes engagement structures for installing and removing the lens module from the housing without the use of tools.

Outdoor landscape light

An adjustable landscape light assembly for securing to a surface includes a light fixture and a mount. The light fixture includes a first engagement structure configured to engage with a first engagement structure of the mount while allowing the light fixture to be rotated relative to the mount. The light assembly includes a locking member configured to move between a first position and a second position. The locking member engages with both the light fixture and the mount when in the second position to prevent the light fixture from being rotated relative to the mount and disengages from the mount when moved to the first position.

Light fixture and mount with multiple adjustments

Disclosed is an outdoor light fixture assembly having a housing, a contact block, and a user serviceable light module. The housing has a first opening for receiving the contact block and a second opening for receiving the user serviceable light module. The contact block has at least one contact and a power wire. The contact block can be disposed relative to the first opening so that the at least one contact is accessible from inside the housing. The user serviceable light module light module is sized and shaped to transition between a connected position and a released position relative to the housing. The user serviceable light module has a cover and a circuit board supporting one or more light emitting diodes and having at least one contact pin. The light emitting diodes are arranged relative to the circuit board to emit light in a direction towards the second opening when the user serviceable light module is in the connected position.

Installation cap for an in-grade light fixture

Lighting fixtures can have installation and mounting features that reduce the number of mounting screws that are readily visible or accessible from outside the lighting fixture. The lighting fixture can have an elongate housing, one or more light modules, first and second installation brackets, a plurality of J-bolts, and a cover. The only fastener(s) accessible from outside the housing of the lighting fixture can be one or more cover screws for securing the cover to the housing. The cover screw(s) can be positioned in inconspicuous locations and are not visible in plain view.

Light fixture with removable light cartridge

An illuminating device can include a housing having one or more sidewalls defining a housing interior. The device can include at least one light element and an optics assembly. The optics assembly can include an outer face and at least one lens. The at least one lens can be configured to allow light from the at least one light element to pass therethrough. The optics assembly can include a skirt extending from the outer face into the housing interior and surrounding the at least one lens. The skirt can have an interior surface defining a skirt interior and an outer surface facing the one or more sidewalls of the housing. Potting material can be positioned between the outer surface of the skirt and the one or more sidewalls to prevent water ingress into the skirt interior. In some cases, no potting material is positioned within the skirt interior.

Illuminating device with sealed optics

A landscape controller housing can be used to enclose the electronic components of a landscape lighting system or an irrigation system includes a face pack that is pivotably and removably mounted in an outer housing. The face pack can be installed in the outer housing in a normal upright position in which a pair of pivot pins are each received in a corresponding bearing slot and a pair of locking pins are each received in a corresponding lock recess. The face pack can be swung through a predetermined angle to release the locking pins from the lock recesses to allow the face pack to be removed from the outer housing by sliding the pivot pins out of the bearing slots and removing the locking pins from the lock recesses. The face pack can be inserted into the outer housing into a substantially horizontal service position by sliding both the pivot pins and the locking pins into the bearing slots.

Landscape controller housing with pivotable locking face pack

A lighting controller includes a housing and a power transformer mounted in the housing for stepping down an inputted AC power signal at a first higher voltage to at least one output AC power signal at a second lower voltage for powering a plurality of light fixtures. The controller further includes a switching device that can be closed and opened to connect and disconnect a primary winding of the power transformer to a source of AC power that can provide the inputted AC power signal. At least one wire connection terminal is connected to a secondary winding of the power transformer. A face pack is removably mounted in the housing and is operatively connected to the source of AC power and the switching device. The face pack includes a display, at least one manually actuable input device, a processor, a memory operatively connected to the processor, and an operational program stored in the memory. The operational program is executable by the processor for allowing a user to enter ON and OFF times via the manually actuable input device and for closing and opening the switching device in accordance therewith. The processor can detect and display the current draw, and can detect overheat and current overload conditions, and disconnect the power transformer from the source of AC power in response to the same.

Programmable landscape lighting controller with self-diagnostic capabilities and fail safe features

LED light fixtures include a hollow body, a source of illumination mounted inside the body, a transparent cover extending across one end of the body, and a twist and lock mounting bracket assembly provided at another end of the body for securing the light fixtures to a building structure.
