Adjustable, modular flood light fixture
An adjustable, modular flood light fixture is provided herein which includes a plurality of light modules, each including an enclosure and a luminaire configured to generate light, the luminaire being pivotably mounted to the enclosure. The light modules are serially connected with the luminaires of the light modules being each independently, pivotably adjustable. Advantageously, with the subject invention, the size of an illuminated area may be controlled by the number of light modules being used, with pivoting adjustment allowing further control over how light from each of the light modules is directed.
1. An adjustable, modular light flood light fixture comprising:
a plurality of light modules, each of the light modules including:
a rectangular enclosure having first and second longitudinal sides and first and second ends, wherein the first and second longitudinal sides extend between, and are longer than, the first and second ends; and,
a luminaire pivotably mounted to the first and second ends of the enclosure,
wherein, the light modules are serially connected, along a longitudinal axis, with direct connections between the first and second longitudinal sides of the enclosures of adjacent light modules, and, with the luminaires of the light modules being each independently, pivotably adjustable, and,
wherein, the serially-connected light modules are secured to a pivotable mounting coaxially aligned with the longitudinal axis.
2. The flood light fixture as in claim 1 , wherein, for each of the light modules, the luminaire is separate from the enclosure.
3. The flood light fixture as in claim 1 , wherein, for each of the light modules, a power supply for the luminaire is provided in the enclosure.
4. The flood light fixture as in claim 1 , wherein one or more channels pass through the connections between the light modules.
5. The flood light fixture as in claim 1 , wherein, for each of the light modules, a releasable lock is provided to releasably lock the luminaire in an angular position relative to the enclosure.
6. The flood light fixture as in claim 5 , wherein the releasable lock includes alignable apertures in the luminaire and the enclosure formed to receive a locking pin.
7. The flood light fixture as in claim 1 , wherein, for each of the light modules, the luminaire includes a plurality of solid state lighting elements.
8. The flood light fixture as in claim 7 , wherein the plurality of solid state lighting elements are mounted to one or more boards.
9. The flood light fixture as in claim 8 , wherein one or more heat dissipation blocks are located above the one or more boards.
10. The flood light fixture as in claim 9 , wherein the plurality solid state lighting elements, the one or more boards, and the one or more heat dissipation blocks are enclosed within the luminaire.
11. The flood light fixture as in claim 1 , wherein, for each of the light modules, upstanding brackets are provided on the luminaire which are pivotably connected to the first and second ends of the enclosure to pivotably mount the luminaire to the first and second ends of the enclosure.
12. The flood light fixture as in claim 11 , wherein each of the upstanding brackets includes a pivot hole through which passes a pivot pin or fastener which is fixed to the enclosure.
13. The flood light fixture as in claim 11 , wherein the upstanding brackets are formed with sufficient length to provide sufficient clearance between the luminaire and the enclosure to allow pivoting of the luminaire relative to the enclosure.
