Abstract

A lighting fixture includes a housing having a surface with a fixture aperture therein, a light source assembly mountable within the housing in a replaceable manner and sized to fit through the aperture, the light source assembly includes electrical contacts configured to be in electrical communication with a light source. The lighting fixture also includes an electric input conditioner mounted within the housing in a replaceable manner and sized to fit through the aperture, the electric input conditioner is in electrical communication with the electrical contacts. The lighting fixture also includes a mount assembly in mechanical communication with the housing and configured to position the light source assembly within the housing at a location for light from the light source to emit through the aperture, wherein the light source assembly and the electric input conditioner accommodate a first light source technology, and are replaceable to accommodate a different technology.

Claims (26)

1. A lighting fixture comprising:

a housing having a surface including fixture aperture therein;

a replaceable light source assembly including a socket configured to accept a first light source of a first light source technology, the light source assembly mountable on a replaceable mount assembly within the housing in a replaceable manner and sized to fit through the fixture aperture, the light source assembly including electrical contacts configured to be in electrical communication with the first light source;

a replaceable electric input conditioner corresponding to the first light source technology and mounted within the housing in a replaceable manner and sized to fit through the fixture aperture, the electric input conditioner in electrical communication with the electrical contacts;

the mount assembly configured to accommodate a first lighting application, and in mechanical communication with the housing and configured to position the light source assembly within the housing at a location for light from the light source to emit through the fixture aperture;

the light source assembly and the electric input conditioner configured to be replaceable to accommodate a light source technology different from the first light source technology;

the mount assembly configured to accommodate a lighting application different from the first lighting application; and

the light source assembly, the electric input conditioner, and the mount assembly each configured to be replaced separately.

2. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , the first light source technology and the different light source technology being, respectively, one of a halogen light source, a light emitting diode (LED) light source, and a high intensity discharge (HID) light source, wherein the first light source technology and the different light source technology are different light source technologies.

3. The lighting fixture of claim 2 , the LED light source including a heat sink and an LED array in thermal communication with the heat sink.

4. The lighting fixture of claim 3 , the LED light source including a socket configured to hold the LED array, and a secondary reflector mounted to the socket.

5. The lighting fixture of claim 2 , the electrical input conditioner including a transformer in electrical communication with the halogen light source.

6. The lighting fixture of claim 5 , the housing including a surface having a splice box mounted thereon, the transformer mounted on the splice box and accessible from within the housing through the fixture aperture.

7. The lighting fixture of claim 2 , the electrical input conditioner including a ballast in electrical communication with the HID light source.

8. The lighting fixture of claim 7 , the housing including a surface having a splice box mounted thereon, the ballast mounted on the splice box and accessible from within the housing through the fixture aperture.

9. The lighting fixture of claim 2 , the electrical input conditioner including a LED driver in electrical communication with the LED light source module.

10. The lighting fixture of claim 9 , the housing including a surface having a splice box mounted thereon, the LED driver mounted on the splice box and accessible from within the housing through the fixture aperture.

11. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , the mount assembly sized to fit through the fixture aperture.

12. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , the first lighting application and the different lighting application being, respectively, one of a downlight lighting application, a wallwasher lighting application, and an accent lighting application.

13. The lighting fixture of claim 12 , wherein a mount assembly configured to accommodate the accent lighting application includes a tilt adjustment mechanism configured to position the light source assembly about a second axis.

14. The lighting fixture of claim 13 , the tilt adjustment mechanism including a locking member.

15. The lighting fixture of claim 12 , wherein a mount assembly configured to accommodate the accent lighting application is configured to mechanically engage a rotation ring operable to rotate the light source assembly about a first axis.

16. The lighting fixture of claim 15 , including a rotation locking member contactable with the rotation ring and configured to lock the movement of the rotation ring.

17. The lighting fixture of claim 12 , wherein a mount assembly configured to accommodate the wallwasher lighting application is configured to mechanically engage a rotation ring operable to rotate the light source assembly about a first axis.

18. The lighting fixture of claim 17 , including a rotation locking member contactable with the rotation ring and configured to lock the movement of the rotation ring.

19. The lighting fixture of claim 12 , the lighting fixture including one of an accent lighting main reflector, a downlight main reflector, and a wallwasher main reflector to match a respective lighting application.
