Implementations are described herein for an adjustable recessed lighting apparatus () with a rotation ring (). In various embodiments, a base () may be mounted to a surface and includes a light passage that generally directs light in a first direction (FD). The rotation ring () may be rotatably mounted to the base () such that the rotation ring () is rotatable about the light passage. At least one light source () may be mounted within the apparatus () to emit light through the light passage in a second direction (SD). A first drive () and a second drive () may be fixedly secured to the rotation ring (). Accordingly, when torque is applied to the first drive (), the rotation ring () may rotate relative to the base () about the light passage.

Adjustable recessed lighting apparatus

A mounting bracket () for a luminaire fixture frame () having one or more tabs () to engage a hat channel or the like. The one or more tabs () are positionable between an un-deployed position and a deployed position to operably engage the hat channel.

Fixture mounting system and method

Inventive methods and apparatus for providing an open wall wash luminaire designed to allow a small amount of light to go behind the luminaire kick reflector, resulting in the kick reflector being less noticeable by an occupant of the room when light is being provided by the luminaire.

An adjustable recessed trim for a lighting fixture includes an enclosure with a light output opening and a light source opening provided upward from the light output opening. An adjustable cover piece having a cover piece light source opening is provided over the enclosure in registration with the enclosure light source opening and is adjustable between at least a first position and a second position.

Adjustable recessed trim

A T-bar mounting bracket assembly for a luminaire fixture frame having a bracket, a clip vertically adjustable relative to the bracket, the clip extending through an opening in the bracket, a fastener extending through the bracket and the clip and, the fastener spaced from a location where the clip passes through the opening.

T-bar mounting system

A rotatable downlight frame assembly comprises a pan having a pivot aperture therein, a collar disposed in the pan for rotating in the pivot aperture, the collar having a trim aperture wall depending through the pan, the collar having one of a square, rectangular, non-circular, or asymmetrical trim opening for positioning of a lighting trim, the collar being rotatable relative to the pan through 360 degrees, at least one fastener passing through the collar, a tool-less fastener assembly, the tool-less assembly having one of a first position and a second position for tightening the collar at an angular position relative to the pan via frictional engagement, and the other of the first position and the second position allowing for pivotable motion, and, a lighting assembly positioned on the collar for pivotal movement with the collar.

Luminaire rotating frame clamping assembly

A captive retaining spring for a recessed mounting assembly has a retaining spring which is adjustable to compensate for multiple ceiling thicknesses, does not require the use of tools for installation, and may be assembled by the manufacturer and shipped ready for installation.

Captive retaining spring

A two piece adjustable trim for a sloped ceiling recessed downlight wherein the two piece trim has an upper element and a lower element hingedly connected to each other. A standard frame in housing may be utilized to receive the two piece rotatable trim, the trim and a lower element affixed to the mounting frame and pivotable relative to an upper trim element.

Adjustable trim for sloped ceiling recessed downlight

A unitary reflector trim to shield a viewer's line of sight past a lamp into a lighting fixture, eliminating the material and assembly expense of additional components. Included in the reflector trim are a cylindrical socket cup receiving neck which transitions into a waist section having a smaller diameter than the neck. A reflector section transitions from the waist section. A trim ring extends from the base of the reflector section to cover the edges of a ceiling opening. All of the elements are integral with each other, forming a single piece reflector trim.

A recessed fixture housing in which the major components are designed with taper fits to allow the components to be pressed together in assembly to create an air-seal engagement construction. The fixture housing also provides a junction box accessible from either the room side or the attic side of a fixture, while maintaining a sealed fixture housing. Further, a recessed fixture frame for use with a housing of maximal size to be installed between building structural members with mounting bars having protruding tabs. Mounting bar brackets are inset from each frame side an amount sufficient to accommodate the tabs between the building structural member and the bracket.

Recessed fixture housing

Recessed fixture frame

An improved recessed fixture frame and method for installing the recessed fixture frame in new, existing or rough-in construction is disclosed. The improved recessed fixture frame includes a frame band for supporting and surrounding a fixture housing and at least one mounting assembly connected to the frame band in such a manner that the frame band is capable of being adjusted between the ends of the mounting bars. The mounting assembly includes at least one hinged mounting stub operatively hingeably connected to at least one end of the mounting assembly. Each hinged mounting stub includes a fastening means for affixing the recessed fixture frame to a structural member in a first position. In the first position, the recessed fixture frame extends downwardly from the structural member. After the fixture frame has been wired-in, the fixture frame is rotated about ninety degrees (90.degree.) about the hinged mounting stubs to a second position where the non-hinged mounting stub at the other end of the mounting assemblies are operatively connected to a second structural member.

Recessed fixture frame and method

A method, system and apparatus for supporting a light fixture in an aperture formed in a planar member is disclosed. An aperture is first cut in the planar member at the point where the lighting fixture is to be installed and a light fixture support structure having at least two mounting straps positioned about the perimeter of the light fixture support structure for retaining the light fixture support structure in position in the aperture formed in the planar member is positioned in the aperture by an installer. The light fixture support structure mounting straps are then positioned contiguous with the inner surface of the planar member and are manipulated such that the light fixture support structure is maintained in position in the aperture. The light fixture support structure includes a perimeter member having a wall portion and a lip portion and having at least two slots formed at the junction of the wall and the lip and at least two mounting straps positioned in the at least two slots for retaining the light fixture support structure in position in the aperture formed in the planar member. The mounting strap including a hook member at one end and a v shaped two leg member at the other end with each of the legs having a flange member for engaging the surface of the planar member. Methods of installing remodeler light fixtures in a planar member are also disclosed.
