Abstract: A roller shade for selectively covering an architectural opening and which reduces deflection and sagging in the roller shade. The roller shade comprises a tension insert inserted and substantially centered within the roller tube of the roller shade. The tension insert comprises a longitudinal insert body, a threaded rod, and a pair of threaded nuts. The insert body comprises an inner tube portion with a plurality of longitudinal fins circumferentially extending from the inner tube portion. The threaded rod is inserted within the inner tube portion of the insert body and the insert body is longitudinally compressed by threading the pair of threaded nuts on the threaded rod.

Abstract: A hem bar assembly adapted to secure to a shade material of a roller shade that selectively covers or uncover an architectural opening. The hem bar assembly comprises a first hem bar portion adapted to attach to a second hem bar portion. The first hem bar portion comprises a longitudinal flexible locking member recessed in the inner wall of the first hem bar portion and comprising a channel longitudinally extending therein. The hem bar assembly further comprises a longitudinal spline comprising a longitudinal male plug adapted to wedge and retain the shade material within the locking member channel of the first hem bar portion. The hem bar assembly is configured to attach to the shade material without welding and in exposed, half-wrap, or full-wrap configurations.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and modes for controlling one or more roller shades in order to substantially synchronize and uniformly align a plurality of roller shades. Each shade comprises a roller tube, a shade material connected to the roller tube, a motor adapted to rotate the roller tube, and a controller. The controller is adapted to: drive the motor between a first limit position and a second limit position of the shade material at a first rotational speed; determine a run time it took the motor to move the shade material between the first limit position and the second limit position; using at least the determined run time, determine a second rotational speed for the controller to drive the motor between the first limit position and the second limit position within a predetermined run time; and set the motor to operate according to the second rotational speed.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and modes for a modular recessed light fixture and for mounting and aligning thereof. The light fixture comprises a housing supporting a lighting module, a bracket ring located within the housing, and an alignment ring adapted to magnetically attach to the bracket ring through an architectural panel to locate the bracket ring. The alignment ring may comprise an adjustment mechanism that is laterally adjusted within the alignment ring to a desired position. The bracket ring may be adjustable and adapted to laterally travel with respect to the housing such that displacing the alignment ring along the architectural panel, moves the adjustable bracket ring within the housing to a desired position. The housing may comprise a baseplate comprising material capable of being cut such that after locating the bracket ring using the alignment ring an opening is cut through the architectural panel and the housing baseplate.
