Definitions

  • Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to lighting solutions, and more particularly to systems, methods, and devices for providing light fixtures that incorporate rotatable light modules and a hinged mounting solution for quick installation.
  • Previous designs of light fixtures that incorporate rotatable LED-based light modules often include wiring layouts that are internal to the light fixture housing. This often limits the range of movement of the light modules and wiring integrity of the light fixture. For example, an operator changing the angle of the light modules may have to be extra careful when handling the light fixture so as not to accidentally pull or otherwise disrupt the wiring between the light modules and the other electronic components of the light fixture.
  • such light fixtures are often mounted on a ceiling or other mounting structure, through which the light fixture is also electrically wired. During installation or maintenance, the light fixture may need to be removed from the ceiling in order to access the wires or other installation interface on the back side of the light fixture.
  • the operator may need to support the light fixture while performing the operation, making the process more challenging and error prone.
  • a light fixture that allows for wiring the rotatable modules in such a way as to allow for rotation of the module while reducing the size or necessary layout of a fixture housing yet maintain wiring integrity and electrical reliability for the rotatable module.
  • the light fixture should provide a mounting means that allows for easy accessibility of the light fixture.
  • An example embodiment of the present disclosure includes a light fixture.
  • the light fixture includes a central housing containing one or more electrical components, a central grommet, wherein the central grommet traverses a central opening in the central housing, providing a path for a central cord to enter the central housing through the grommet, wherein the central grommet forms a water tight seal between the central cord and the central housing, and wherein the central cord is electrically coupled to the one or more electrical components.
  • the light fixture further includes at least one rotatable light module coupled to the central housing, the at least one rotatable light module comprising a heat sink on a heat sink side of the at least one rotatable light model, and at least one peripheral cord coupled to the at least one rotatable light module at a first end of the at least one peripheral cord and traversing at least one respective peripheral opening in the central housing, wherein the at least one peripheral cord is electrically coupled to the one or more electrical components and the rotatable light module.
  • the mounting assembly includes a top plate having a first mating mechanism, a support hanger having a first end and a second end, the first end rotatively coupled to the top plate.
  • the mounting assembly also includes a bottom plate comprising a second mating mechanism corresponding to the first mating mechanism, wherein the second end of the support hanger is rotatively coupled to the bottom plate.

In the folded position, the bottom plate, the support hanger, and the top plate are substantially parallel, and wherein the bottom plate is coupled to the top plate via the first and second mating mechanisms, the bottom plate being a first distance from the top plate. In the extended position, the first mating mechanism is decoupled from the second mating mechanism, the bottom plate being a second distance from the top plate, the second distance being greater than the first distance, and wherein the bottom plate is supported by the top plate via the support hanger.
  • the fixture mounting assembly includes a top plate having a first mating mechanism, a support hanger having a first end and a second end, the first end moveably coupled to the top plate, and a fixture housing comprising a second mating mechanism on a top surface of the fixture housing corresponding to the first mating mechanism, wherein the second end of the support hanger is coupled to the fixture housing.

Abstract

Selon certains modes de réalisation, la présente invention concerne un luminaire comportant des modules de lumière et un ensemble de support articulé extensible. Les modules de lumière sont en connexion électrique avec le luminaire via un câble et un élément de passe-fil/console qui fournit une réduction de tension et une barrière étanche à l'eau. L'ensemble de support articulé extensible permet le montage du luminaire sur un plafond ou autre structure tout en fournissant une position de montage et une position d'installation.
