An LED luminaire having a housing positionable at a structure location for providing illumination. At least one first LED light engine is located within the housing. The housing has at least one light output boundary and is configured to direct light therein toward the light output boundary. A light guide is configured to be located at the light output boundary to receive light contained within the housing to emit non-directional light at the light output boundary. The at least one first LED light engine includes at least one first LED light source providing directional light at the light output boundary. The first LED light engine includes a shroud adjacent the light guide providing directional light from the LED light source to a target location beyond the luminaire. The shroud structure provides an optical path from the LED light source through the light guide for providing non-directional light.

Luminaire for emitting directional and non-directional light

Disclosed is an LED luminaire, comprising a housing positionable at a building structure location. The housing has at least one light output boundary and configured to direct light therein toward the light output boundary. A light guide configured to be located at the light output boundary to receive light operationally contained within the housing, so as to emit non-directional light at the light output boundary. At least one first LED light engine is located within the housing, the at least one first LED light engine including at least one first LED light source to emit directional light at the light output boundary.

An LED luminaire comprising: at least one directional light-emitting element configured to emit directional light from the luminaire; at least one nondirectional light-emitting element configured to emit non-directional light from the luminaire, the at least one nondirectional light-emitting element being optically coupled to the at least one directional light-emitting element; and at least one LED light source for emitting light and being optically coupled to at least one of the at least one directional light-emitting element or the at least one nondirectional light-emitting element.

Luminaire for emitting directional and nondirectional light

A potted transformer assembly comprises a housing portion to form an exterior transformer housing, a transformer unit dimensioned to fit within the housing portion, the housing portion including a first passage to receive the transformer unit in an operative position therein, the housing portion having an inner surface which is oriented to provide an interior cavity between the transformer unit and the inner surface, the interior cavity being dimensioned to receive a predetermined quantity of a potting compound, the housing portion further including a second passage in fluid communication with the interior cavity, the second passage being dimensioned to receive a portion of the potting compound therein, the second passage being located on the housing portion in such a manner that, following a transformer encapsulation step, the presence of potting compound in the second passage is indicative of the transformer being substantially encapsulated by the potting compound.

Transformer assembly and light fixture assembly using same

A recessed lighting fixture includes a housing having one or more side walls, one or more of which including at least one elongate slot formation, the slot formation including a pair of oppositely extending lateral edge formations, each lateral edge formation having a first dimension, a retaining clip to be located in the slot formation for movement therealong. The retaining clip has a first portion to extend through the slot formation and to travel along an inner surface of the corresponding side wall on opposite sides of the slot formation, a second portion having a second dimension exceeding the first dimension and to travel along an outer surface of a corresponding side wall on opposite sides of the slot formation. The second portion is arranged to be biased outwardly from the housing relative to the first portion, the second portion joined to a third portion, the third portion being arranged to extend through the slot formation in a retained position, in which the third portion is retained against an inner surface of the corresponding lateral edge formation with the second portion in a spring-loaded orientation. The third portion is movable from the retained position to a released position when separated from the lateral edge formation, thereby causing the second portion to be transferred from its spring-loaded orientation to an outwardly extended orientation relative to the housing.

Recessed lighting fixture

A light fixture assembly is provided with a lamp housing having a top, a lamp socket within the lamp housing, a power pack operatively connected to the lamp socket, and a means for supported attachment of the power pack to the lamp housing at a position substantially lateral to the lamp housing, and not extending substantially above a plane defined by the top of the lamp housing. The power pack comprises a junction box containing a transformer operatively connected to the lamp socket, and means for operative attachment of the power pack to an electrical source. The means for supported attachment of the power pack to the lamp housing permits flexion of the junction box relative to the lamp housing.

Light fixture assembly

A clip for mounting a recessed light fixture into a panel includes a clamping assembly for anchoring the clip to a hole in the panel, and a resilient arm biased toward a housing of the light fixture which frictionally engages the housing to support the fixture in the panel. In the preferred embodiment a gripping edge of the resilient arm contacts the housing at an oblique angle, so that turning the housing in a particular direction draws the fixture into the hole and thus draws a flange surrounding the mouth of the housing flush against the panel.

Mounting clip for a recessed light fixture

The invention provides a recessed lighting fixture having an outwardly extending housing flange about a lower end of the fixture housing and retaining clips mounted to the housing wall. The retaining clips have enlarged ends trapped within the housing and extending through axial slots so as to permit axial movement along the housing wall. Each retaining clip includes a spring arm biased to an open position in which the spring arm extends radially from the housing, part of the upper portion being flexible such that the spring arm can be depressed toward the housing wall. The fixture can thus be installed through a ceiling opening barely larger than the diameter of the housing. An adjusting screw is provided for adjusting the position of the retaining clip axially along the housing wall, which secures the housing in place by clamping the ceiling between the housing flange and the retaining clips.
