Area light fixture with octagonal lens

An illustrative light fixture provides an emitter housing and a driver housing in a single fixture with an airflow channel defined between the emitter and driver housings. The airflow channel minimizes thermal conduction between the emitter and driver housings, and maximizes thermal convective cooling for at least one of the emitter housing and driver housing. The emitter housing includes vertical fins extending into the airflow chamber. The left and right sides of the emitter and driver housings define top and bottom edges that are respectively coplanar with the top and bottom edges of the vertical fins.

Light fixture

Example embodiments include modular lighting fixtures and methods for forming the same. Some include light emitters and base members with mounting locations for the light emitters, the light emitters and base members being combinable in varying combinations with each combination producing a different lighting effect. Some embodiments include a light guide, such as a planar light guide, that receives and redirects light from the light emitters. Additional embodiments include a reflector with portions that are positioned near a mounting location where no light emitter is mounted when the reflector is mounted to a base member. Further embodiments include a reflector with portions that are positioned near the mounting locations when mounted to a base member, the portions being easily removed, such as with an unpowered hand tool, to avoid interference with a light emitting member mounted adjacent to where the removable portion would be if not removed from the reflector.

Apparatuses and methods for assembling luminaires

A lighting fixture adapter, methods for manufacturing a lighting fixture adapter, and methods for attaching a lighting accessory to a lighting fixture are disclosed. Embodiments include an adapter that connects to a lighting accessory and allows a user to connect the lighting accessory to a lighting fixture using less twisting than would normally be required when attaching the accessory to the fixture. Embodiments allow a lighting accessory that normally requires multiple rotations to operatively and/or fully engage with a lighting fixture to operatively and/or fully engage with the fixture using a maximum 360 degrees rotation, 180 degrees of rotation, 90 degrees of rotation, or no rotation. Some embodiments include a kit with one or more of: an adapter (which may include a flange), a replacement component for the lighting fixture (which may include a flange for engaging the adapter flange), wires, wiring connectors, an anti-rotation component, and a plug.

Methods and apparatuses for connecting lighting accessories to lighting fixtures

An extendable connector for connecting a lighting accessory to a lighting fixture and methods for manufacturing or installing the same are disclosed. Embodiments of the extension device include an adjustable extension device that may be assembled by hand, optionally after threading wiring connecting the lighting accessory to the lighting fixture through the individual components. Some embodiments include a telescoping extension device with a connector for connecting to a lighting fixture that snap-fits to and rotates in relation to one of the telescoping members. Additional embodiments include a connector for connecting to a lighting accessory that snap-fits to and is rotationally engaged with one of the telescoping members, and can engage with a locking member to set the orientation of the lighting accessory in relation to the telescoping member. Further embodiments include a locking member enabling the user to set the length of the extendable connector.

Tiered light fixture

A light fixture includes a housing enclosing a light source. The housing defines an opening therethrough. A plug, which is receivable within the opening, includes a face having a central knockout portion. A perimeter of the knockout portion defines an opening size smaller than an opening size of the opening. According to alternative configurations, the plug may be removed from the opening or only the knockout portion may be removed from the plug while leaving a remainder of the plug in the opening. As such, different sized openings through the light fixture housing may be provided for installation of various light fixture accessories.
