Abstract: Light fixture embodiments for direct downlighting applications provide benefits of low overall fixture profile height, increased light output, enhanced uniformity of brightness and color by use of novel edge-lit optical elements that functions simultaneously as a diffuser and direct throughput lens, as well as an outcoupling TIR light guide. The light fixture can provide low-glare ambient light or more directional wall wash, task and accent lighting. The light fixture typically comprises a 3-dimensional extruded linear support body which retains and aligns LED boards, reflectors and edge-lit optical elements, such as a diffuser or light guide. The edge-lit design enables the height of the lighting assembly body to be equivalent to or less than the height of T-bar main beams or cross tees. This is very important in applications where there is zero or little available plenum space above the ceiling grid. Embodiments are provided that comprise mounting of the light fixture into a ceiling grid using clips or mounting hardware as well as end plates without impacting the plenum requirements. Provided are typical benefits of an edge-lit light guide design including shallow depth, extended emitting area, and off axis light distributions such as asymmetric and symmetric batwing distributions particularly useful in downlighting and other lighting applications. Additionally, area dedicated to bezels or edge reflectors can greatly improve appearance due to reduced or eliminated hotspotting and bright edges to provide a fixture face with very high percentage of light emitting area. Further embodiments are included that may be surface mounted in a cove lighting arrangement or suspended hanging from a T-bar in a suspended wood panel ceiling system. Examples are also provided of the light fixture used in ceiling grid systems incorporating drywall panels.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally provides for systems and methods that allow for LEDs to be effectively incorporated into existing lighting fixtures, including chandeliers and sconces. In some exemplary embodiments, the light source itself can include a heat sink disposed within a sleeve, a base disposed at the bottom of the sleeve and conductively coupled with the heat sink, an LED component disposed on the top of the heat sink, and one or more optical distributors associated with either or both of the heat sink and sleeve. For example, there can be both an inner and optical distributor, with at least the outer distributor being removable and replaceable. The present disclosure enables LEDs to perform effectively in lighting fixtures such as chandeliers where such performance was previously not achievable. Additionally, the present disclosure provides for ways to retrofit existing lighting fixtures having incandescent lights with LED modules.

Abstract: A light fixture delivering electrically controlled lighting distributions for mounting within an installed panel system typically used in ceiling and wall constructions and incorporating acoustic, drywall or wood panels. The light fixture can provide low-glare or wide spread “batwing” ambient light or more directional wall wash, task and accent lighting. The light fixture comprises one or more LED boards and an optical element which can be back-lit or edge-lit. The light fixture body is configurable, comprising a 3-dimensional extruded elongate body with its ends cut at a configured angle. The body typically comprises additional side support features that support and enclose the edge of installed panels. In the case of a T-bar based ceiling grid system the side support features may also replicate the function and appearance of T-bar horizontal and vertical portions. The body comprises features to retain and align LED boards, reflectors and a back-lit or edge-lit optical element. In the edge-lit configuration the optical element may also be a light guide. The edge-lit design also enables the height of the lighting assembly body to be equivalent to or less than the height of T-bar main beams or cross tees. This is very important in applications where there is zero or little available plenum space above the ceiling grid. Because the lighting assembly can also provide structural support within the installed panel system it can replace one or more T-bars and can also be used to connect one or more T-bars or other structural grid elements. The lighting fixture can be mounted at an oblique or diagonal angle to the typical square grid layouts, or in a corner of a ceiling grid T-bar cell at the intersection of one or more T-bars. Additionally, more than one elongate bodies can be connected to form square, crosses, curves or arcs or more complex shapes. The electrical power may additionally be configured to control lighting distributions of the fixtures independently of one another.

Abstract: Disclosed are lighting arrangements that provide, when in operation, more uniform angular light distribution emissions into an environment. The lighting arrangements use LED light sources, a light scattering optical element and partial reflectance from a light transmissive sheet or reflective layer to produce direct and indirect illumination with improved angular light distribution and uniformity onto targeted illumination surfaces such as ceilings, walls, and floors. The present disclosure provides a solution to problems of non-uniform angular distribution of light causing visual discomfort and spatial discontinuity in output. Energy savings are achieved with high optical efficiency utilizing compact, durable, robust, and aesthetically appealing optical composites and lighting arrangements capable of providing an assortment of configurable angular light distributions.

Abstract: Various light fixtures are provided for mounting within and below suspended grid ceilings incorporating T-bars and ceiling panels. The light fixtures comprise a double or single edgelit planar or wedge shaped optical element that functions simultaneously as an outcoupling TIR light guide and a light scatterer or direct throughput lens. It provides a number of benefits because of its edgelit design including; thin forms and shallow depth, extended emitting area and controlled lighting distributions from one or two light guide faces. Additionally, areas typically dedicated to bezels or edge reflectors can be greatly reduced or eliminated due to decreased hotspotting to provide a fixture face with very high percentage of light emitting area. Embodiments are described for direct, indirect, and direct indirect configurations. The embodiments provide increased light output, uniformity of brightness and color and controlled direct and indirect lighting distributions and with single or dual off axis intensity peaks. Such light distributions are particularly useful in applications such as direct illumination of offices, schools, hospitals, retail or commercial spaces and table tops or work surfaces or indirect illumination of ceilings, wall washing and surface area lighting as well as other lighting applications.

Abstract: A ceiling grid lighting assembly for use in suspended ceiling systems is provided with multiple linear lighting modules in parallel arrangement. End plates are used to connect, support, and enclose longitudinal ends of the elongate body of each linear lighting modules while simultaneously functioning as reflective faces for optical cavities. A configured gap spacing between individual linear lighting modules can be used to house and support components such as additional light sources, acoustic or decorative panels, HVAC components, or power systems, controls or sensors. The end plate can also be configured to allow a T-bar to be placed in the configured gap spacing thereby enabling the mounting of the assembly in-line upon the longitudinal axis of a ceiling grid T-bar. Embodiments of linear lighting modules are presented comprising LED light sources, light guides and diffusers housed within the elongate body. The light guides may be edgelit from one or two sides and aligned horizontally or tilted relative to the ceiling grid plane.
