Abstract

An LED light fixture comprising a contoured light transmissive lens cover pivotally mounted between upper and lower end brackets so as to be movable between an open position and a closed position wherein in the closed position the upper and lower contoured edges of the lens cover mate flushly with the contoured surface of respective upper and lower end caps. A bank of LED carrying housing components are attached between the upper and lower mounting brackets so as to direct illumination toward the lens cover. Expansion brackets may be employed to facilitate addition of one or more additional banks of LED carrying housing components behind a lens cover of longer length to thereby created a sconce fixture of extended length.

Claims (18)

1. An LED light fixture comprising:

a contoured light transmissive lens cover;

upper and lower end brackets, each having respective right and left mounting blocks and respective support members extending therefrom;

upper and lower end caps each having a flat linear back surface and a contoured surface shaped to match the contour of the contoured lens cover, the upper end cap being attached to the right and left mounting blocks of the upper mounting bracket, the lower end cap being attached to the right and left mounting blocks of the lower mounting bracket;

the lens cover being pivotally mounted so as to be movable between an open position and a closed position wherein in the closed position an upper and lower contoured edge of the lens cover mate flushly with the contoured surface of the respective upper and lower end caps; and

a plurality of LED housing components, each carrying a circuit board comprising at least one LED, each housing component attached to the support member of one of said upper and lower mounting brackets such that said housing components are positioned behind said lens cover when said lens cover is closed and so as to direct illumination toward said lens cover.

2. The LED light fixture of claim 1 wherein the plurality of LED housing components comprise a first, second, and third LED housing component arrayed in a first bank in a triangular configuration.

3. The LED light fixture of claim 2 wherein the lens cover is semicircular in cross-section.

4. An LED light fixture apparatus comprising:

a contoured light transmissive lens cover;

upper and lower end brackets, each having respective right and left mounting blocks and respective support members extending therefrom;

upper and lower end caps each having a flat linear back surface and a contoured surface shaped to match the contour of the contoured lens cover, the upper end cap being attached to the right and left mounting blocks of the upper mounting bracket, the lower end cap being attached to the right and left mounting blocks of the lower mounting bracket;

the lens cover being pivotally mountable between the upper and lower end caps so as to be movable between an open position and a closed position wherein in the closed position an upper and lower contoured edge of the lens cover mate flushly with the contoured surface of the respective upper and lower end caps;

a first bank comprising a first plurality of LED housing components, each carrying a circuit board comprising at least one LED, each housing component attached to the support member of said upper mounting bracket such that said housing components are positioned behind said lens cover when said lens cover is closed and so as to direct illumination toward said lens cover;

a second bank comprising a second plurality of LED housing components, each carrying a circuit board comprising at least one LED, each housing component attached to the support member of said lower mounting bracket such that said housing components are positioned behind said lens cover when said lens cover is closed and so as to direct illumination toward said lens cover, said second bank being positioned below said first bank; and

an expansion bracket to which respective lower and upper ends of the respective LED housing components of the first and second bank of LED lamp housing components are attached.

5. The LED light fixture apparatus of claim 4 wherein the first plurality of LED housing components comprises a first, second, and third LED housing component arrayed in the first bank in a triangular configuration.

6. The LED light fixture apparatus of claim 5 wherein the lens cover is semicircular in cross-section.
