Abstract

A luminaire bezel attachment assembly with a lens that is defined by a lens body with one or more bezel engagement keyways, and a flange around the lens body. An inner bezel is coupled to the lens and defined by one or more inner bezel keys receivable within the corresponding one of the one or more bezel engagement keyways of the lens. An outer bezel is coupled to the lens and defined by one or more outer bezel keys that are receivable within the corresponding one of the one or more bezel engagement keyways of the lens. The outer bezel keys overlap the corresponding one of the one or more inner bezel keys.

Claims (38)

1. A luminaire bezel attachment assembly comprising:

a lens defined by a lens body and a flange around the lens body, the flange defining one or more lens flange fastener apertures;

an inner bezel coupled to the lens and defining one or more inner bezel fastener apertures and a front inner bezel face; and

an outer bezel coupled to the lens and to the inner bezel, and defined by one or more outer bezel fastener apertures and a front outer bezel face;

wherein corresponding ones of the inner bezel fastener apertures and the corresponding ones of the outer bezel fastener apertures are aligned with corresponding ones of the lens flange fastener apertures, and both the front inner bezel face and the front outer bezel face are exposed and in a concentric relationship with the inner bezel fitted within the outer bezel.

2. The luminaire bezel attachment assembly of claim 1 , wherein

the flange defines one or more bezel engagement keyways.

3. The luminaire bezel attachment assembly of claim 2 , wherein:

the inner bezel defines one or more inner bezel keys received within a corresponding one of the one or more bezel engagement keyways; and

the outer bezel defines one or more outer bezel keys received within a corresponding one of the one or more bezel engagement keyways.

4. The luminaire bezel attachment assembly of claim 3 , wherein one of the inner bezel keys is recessed to mate with a corresponding one of the outer bezel keys.

5. The luminaire bezel attachment assembly of claim 4 , wherein one of the inner bezel keys protrude inwardly from a rim of the inner bezel.

6. The luminaire bezel attachment assembly of claim 5 , wherein the one of the inner bezel keys is recessed relative to the front inner bezel face.

7. The luminaire bezel attachment assembly of claim 4 , wherein one of the outer bezel keys protrude inwardly from a rim of the outer bezel.

8. The luminaire bezel attachment assembly of claim 7 , wherein the one of the outer bezel keys is recessed relative to a rear outer bezel face.

9. A luminaire comprising:

a housing defining at least an open front end with a rim defining one or more fastener bores;

one or more illumination sources mounted to the housing;

a lens defined by a lens body and a flange around the lens body, the flange defining one or more lens flange fastener apertures;

an inner bezel coupled to the lens and defining one or more inner bezel fastener apertures and a front inner bezel face; and

an outer bezel coupled to the lens and to the inner bezel, and defined by one or more outer bezel fastener apertures and a front outer bezel face;

wherein corresponding ones of the inner bezel fastener apertures and the corresponding ones of the outer bezel fastener apertures are aligned with corresponding ones of the lens flange fastener apertures, and both the front inner bezel face and the front outer bezel face are exposed and in a concentric relationship with the inner bezel fitted within the outer bezel.

10. The luminaire bezel of claim 9 , further comprising one or more fasteners each inserted through corresponding ones of the inner bezel fastener apertures, the outer bezel fastener apertures, and the lens flange fastener apertures.

11. The luminaire of claim 9 , further comprising a sealing gasket disposed between the lens and the housing.

12. The luminaire of claim 9 , wherein the flange defines one or more bezel engagement keyways.

13. The luminaire of claim 12 , wherein:

the inner bezel defines one or more inner bezel keys received within a corresponding one of the one or more bezel engagement keyways; and

the outer bezel defines one or more outer bezel keys received within a corresponding one of the one or more bezel engagement keyways.

14. The luminaire of claim 13 , wherein one of the inner bezel keys is recessed to mate with a corresponding one of the outer bezel keys.

15. The luminaire of claim 14 , wherein one of the inner bezel keys protrude inwardly from a rim of the inner bezel.

16. The luminaire of claim 15 , wherein the one of the inner bezel keys is recessed relative to the front inner bezel face.

17. The luminaire of claim 14 , wherein one of the outer bezel keys protrude inwardly from a rim of the outer bezel.

18. The luminaire of claim 17 , wherein the one of the outer bezel keys is recessed relative to a rear outer bezel face.

19. A luminaire bezel attachment assembly comprising:

a lens defined by a lens body and a flange around the lens body, the flange defining one or more lens flange fastener apertures;

an inner bezel coupled to the lens and defining one or more inner bezel fastener apertures and a front inner bezel face; and

an outer bezel coupled to the lens and to the inner bezel, and defined by one or more outer bezel fastener apertures and a front outer bezel face;

wherein corresponding ones of the inner bezel fastener apertures and the corresponding ones of the outer bezel fastener apertures are aligned with corresponding ones of the lens flange fastener apertures, and the outer bezel surrounding the inner bezel in a concentric relationship with both a circumference of the front inner bezel face and a circumference of the front outer bezel face being exposed.
