Abstract
Optic couplings, including optic retention rings, are described herein that require reduced tooling or no tooling for optic installation on luminaires. Briefly, a retention ring for coupling an optic to a luminaire comprises radial alignment assemblies comprising a base, and a protrusion extending from a surface of the base for engaging a coupling assembly of the optic. At least one radial locking assembly is offset from the radial alignment assemblies, the radial locking assembly comprising a vertical protrusion for engaging an aperture of the optic coupling assembly and locking rotation of the optic relative to the radial alignment assemblies.
