A path-illuminating wall-mountable light fixture () can comprise a wall-mountable support platform () that is configured and arranged to be installed on a wall () and at least a first light aperture () that is operably coupled to the wall-mountable support platform. This first light aperture is configured and arranged so that electrically-sourced light () emanating from the first light aperture is directed in a first direction that is substantially parallel to the wall, substantially non-perpendicular to the wall, and less than horizontal. When inclusive of a second such light aperture (), the second light aperture can offer similarly oriented emanated light in a direction that is substantially the opposite of this first direction. By one approach, the light emanating from this (or these) light aperture(s) can be responsive to an animate object detector ().

A light fixture () comprises a mounting fixture () that is configured and arranged to facilitate mounting the light fixture to a mounting surface other than ground along with at least a first light socket () and a plurality of permanently mounted light emitting diodes (LED's) (). The light socket and the LED's are supported by the mounting fixture. The LED's are configured in an array and are oriented towards the mounting surface when the light fixture is installed on the mounting surface. This light fixture can further comprise an ambient light sensor (), an animate object detector (), and/or a timer (). The wall-washing LED's can be switched on and off automatically () to provide the desired decorative effect during the evening hours. In addition, the light socket can be rendered controllable () as a function of whether it is dark out and whether an animate object has been detected.

Method and apparatus for a light fixture having a security light and permanently mounted wall-washing LEDs

A transmitter apparatus effective for activating a remotely situated appliance includes a radio frequency (RF) transmitter. The RF transmitter is configured to be mounted to a structural element of a building and configured to receive an actuation by a user to wirelessly transmit a signal. An antenna is coupled to the RF transmission circuitry and is arranged and configured to transmit the signal to a remotely situated appliance. The antenna is disposed within an opening in the structural element of the building and is of dimensions so as to extend at least partially through the opening. The antenna transmits the signal to the appliance without significant interference or absorption from the structural element of the building.

System and method for transmitting signals to an appliance

A surface-mountable light fixture () can comprise a base () that is configured and arranged to be mounted in an installed position juxtaposed against a mounting surface (). At least one light source interface () that requires mains electricity is contained within this base. This base further comprises an access port () formed therein which, when opened while the base is mounted in an installed position on the mounting surface, provides end user access to electrical conductors for the light source interface(s) as well as the mains electricity (). This base then also further comprises a lockable cover () that is configured and arranged to selectively and reversibly seal the access port to deny end user access to the electrical conductors.

A light fixture () comprises a base () and at least a first arm () having a first end () that couples to this base. A housing () then couples to the second end () of this first arm and can serve to house both a light source () (such that emanated light will tend to be directed towards a primary area of coverage) and an animate object detector () (such that the latter will be aimed towards, and will tend to be sensitive to, objects that move within the primary area of coverage). By one approach, this arm couples to the base and/or the housing in a manner that permits an end user to adjust a position of the housing with respect to the base without requiring any hand tools. The housing can comprise a heat sink () if desired.
