Abstract:
A light-directing apparatus for preferential-side distribution of light from a light emitter having an emitter axis, including a lens member positioned over the light emitter and a shield member. The lens member has a proximal end substantially transverse the emitter axis and an outer surface which may be configured for refracting light from the emitter. The shield member is received in a shield-receiving void of an inner surface of the lens member. Another aspect of this invention is a lighting fixture utilizing such light-directing apparatus.
Abstract:
An LED light fixture includes a housing forming a chamber enclosing at least one drive and an extruded portion extending therefrom. In some embodiments, the housing has a dimension in the extruded direction no less than one-third of the fixture length, and the sides of the extruded portion and of the housing have substantially congruent profiles such that enclosure and heat-dissipation functions of the fixture are facilitated without substantial discontinuity in fixture configuration therealong viewed from positions below. A plurality of substantially rectangular LED-array modules are mounted to the LED-adjacent surface which has length and width dimensions accommodating multiple modules of predetermined width and lengths.
Abstract:
A driver is connectable to an external power supply and configured to output a variable driving current for one or more loads, such as LEDs. A low intensity dimming module is operable to divert some or all of the driving current away from the LEDs when a user selects a very low level of light intensity so that the driver has a constant minimum load. The low intensity dimming module prevents performance issues that commonly affect drivers under light load conditions.
Abstract:
A unitary lens comprising a plurality of lens members aligned substantially along a preferential/non-preferential line. Each lens member being elongate across the preferential/non-preferential line with all elongate lens members being in substantially same orientation and each configured for light to exit the unitary lens predominantly toward the preferential side. Each lens member includes an elongate opening for receiving light from a group of emitters aligned across the preferential/non-preferential line; a refracting inner surface forming a void and having a racetrack-shaped surrounding surface extending from the opening to a substantially planar elongate end surface; and a lateral surface having opposed preferential and non-preferential surface portions, the non-preferential portion being at an angle to the base plane which is greater than the angle of the preferential portion to the base plane.
