Abstract

A light fixture assembly disposed within a building wall includes a receiver defined by at least one receiver wall defining a receiver opening. The receiver has an interior volume. The at least one receiver wall comprising a flange extending inward. A baffle is formed of a flexible material disposed within the interior volume. The baffle includes at least one baffle perimeter wall extending axially and is disposed within the at least one receiver wall. A cover wall is coupled to and extends between the at least one baffle perimeter wall. The cover wall has an aperture wall extending axially and defining a light aperture. The cover wall includes a first finishing material receiving channel defined around the light aperture. A light engine assembly is coupled within a carriage directing light through the light aperture.

Claims (15)

1 . A light fixture assembly disposable within a building wall comprising:

a receiver defined by at least one receiver wall defining a receiver opening, the receiver comprising an interior volume, the at least one receiver wall comprising a flange extending inward;

a baffle disposed within the interior volume, the baffle comprising at least one baffle perimeter wall extending axially and is disposed within the at least one receiver wall, a cover wall coupled to and extending between the at least one baffle perimeter wall, the cover wall comprising an aperture wall extending axially and defining a light aperture, the cover wall comprising a first finishing material receiving channel defined around the light aperture, the aperture wall and a first axially extending wall partially forms the first finishing material receiving channel, the aperture wall comprises an outer edge disposed in a first plane, the first finishing material receiving channel comprises a first planar wall disposed in a second plane axially inward from the first plane between the aperture wall and the first axially extending wall, the cover wall comprises a second finishing material receiving channel disposed adjacent to the first finished material receiving channel; and

a light engine assembly coupled within a carriage directing light through the light aperture.

2 . The light fixture assembly of claim 1 wherein the at least one baffle perimeter wall comprises a seal channel disposed therein, the seal channel receiving a seal disposed therein, the seal directly adjacent to the at least one receiver wall.

3 . The light fixture assembly of claim 1 wherein the outer edge is circular or square.

4 . The light fixture assembly of claim 1 wherein the first planar wall is concentric with the aperture.

5 . The light fixture assembly of claim 1 wherein the second finishing material receiving channel comprises a second planar wall disposed in a third plane axially inward from the second plane.

6 . The light fixture assembly of claim 5 wherein the second finishing material receiving channel is defined between a first axially extending wall and a second axially extending wall.

7 . The light fixture assembly of claim 6 wherein the first axially extending wall and the second axially extending wall are circular.

8 . The light fixture assembly of claim 6 wherein the at least one baffle perimeter wall comprises four walls.

9 . The light fixture assembly of claim 1 wherein the building wall comprises a ceiling.

10 . The light fixture assembly of claim 9 wherein the receiver is formed within an applique.

11 . The light fixture assembly of claim 10 wherein the applique comprises a planar portion having perforations therethrough, the planar portion disposed adjacent to the building wall.

12 . The light fixture assembly of claim 1 wherein the at least one baffle perimeter wall is cylindrical.
