A lighting apparatus is provided with a first housing assembly formed from a thermally conductive material and a second housing assembly formed of a thermally conductive material. At least one electrical component is positioned within the first housing assembly and the at least one electrical component is in thermally conductive contact with the first housing assembly. At least one light source is in thermally conductive contact with the second housing assembly. The second housing assembly is not in thermally conductive contact with the first housing assembly, such that thermal energy from the first housing assembly does not directly transfer to the second housing assembly.

Lighting apparatus with reflector and outer lens

LED lamp

A lighting apparatus is provided with a housing having an upper assembly, a lower assembly, and a middle assembly. A lighting module is positioned within the housing in which the lighting module includes at least one light emitting diode (LED). A reflector is positioned within an outer lens of the middle portion of the housing above the lighting module. A reflector plate is positioned within the housing at approximately the same level or below the lighting module. The reflector plate is configured to reflect light emitted by the at least one LED after the light is reflected by the reflector. The outer lens is configured to refract light emitted by the at least one LED after the light has been reflected by the reflector.

A mounting assembly for securing a fixture in a desired orientation. The assembly includes a fulcrum and an opposing structure each secured with respect to the fixture and positioned to receive a support member therebetween. The fulcrum defines a fulcrum plane and is positioned to pivotably engage one side of the support member. The assembly also includes at least one adjustable engager separately secured to the opposing structure for engaging the support member at position spaced from the fulcrum plane such that, when the support member is received between the fulcrum and the engager, adjustment of the engager holds the fixture in the desired orientation. In some embodiments, the fixture is a luminaire.

Light fixture support assembly

A high-intensity discharge lighting fixture of the type having an optics housing and optics components mounted therein, the fixture comprises a ballast housing having a first member and a second member including at least one airflow channel integrally formed therein, the airflow channel is positioned immediately adjacent the optics housing and is adapted to facilitate free airflow between the ballast housing and the optics housing whereby heat is dissipated from the lighting fixture to the atmosphere.

Remote ballast housing with airflow channel

An LED floodlight fixture includes (1) a housing that has (a) at least one end-portion and (b) a single-piece extrusion including (i) a base having an LED-adjacent surface and an opposite surface and (ii) a heat-dissipating section having heat-dissipating surfaces extending from the opposite surface, and (2) an LED arrangement mounted to the LED-adjacent surface in non-water/air-tight condition with respect to the housing. The housing preferably forms at least one venting gap to provide cool-air ingress to and along the heat-dissipating surfaces by upward flow of heated air therefrom. Additionally and/or alternatively, the base of the single-piece extrusion has one or more venting apertures to provide cool-air ingress for such purpose. One aspect of the invention involves the heat-dissipating section of the extrusion including a closed extruded wireway therealong enclosing wires extending to/from electrical component(s).

LED light fixture

In an embodiment of a light fixture support assembly for securing a light fixture to a fixed surface, the assembly includes a fixture-support member and a surface-attachment member. The fixture-support member has proximal and distal ends and also includes walls defining a compartment and further defining a first opening at the proximal end of the fixture-support member for communication with the surface-attachment member. The walls further define a second opening for communication with the light fixture. The fixture-support assembly also has a neck portion extending from the proximal end and the neck portion has a flange portion extending from it. The surface-attachment member includes a proximal end attached to the fixed surface and a distal end configured to engage the neck portion, whereby the fixture-support member is supported by the surface-attachment member when the neck portion is inserted into the fixture-support member.
