LED light fixture with forward and rear light sources
A light fixture includes a forward housing, a forward LED light source disposed in the forward housing and configured to project light in a forward direction, a rear housing, a rear LED light source mounted in the rear housing and configured to project light circumferentially, a switch, a power supply, and a light control circuit including dimming means. The power supply and control circuit are configured to connect to a power source, with the switch operative to selectively energize both the forward and rear LED light sources.
1 . An LED light fixture comprising:
a support base;
a support post having cylindrical support portion and a first end secured to the support base, the support post defining a longitudinal axis;
a first housing secured to the cylindrical support portion proximate a second end of the support post opposite the first end, the first housing having a first LED light source configured to emit light in a first direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis;
a second housing secured to the support post proximate the second end, the second housing having a second LED light source configured to emit light in a second circumferential direction about and substantially transferse to the longitudinal axis;
a transmitting cover secured to an end of the first housing to direct light in the first direction;
a light diffusing lens surrounding the second housing to diffuse light in the second circumferential direction;
an LED light control circuit configured to be connected to a power source, the LED light control circuit having a dimming circuit and a first and second driver circuit, and a switch operative to turn “on” the first LED light source when in a first position, turn the first LED light source “off” when in a second position, and turn “on” both the first and second LED light sources when in a third position.
2 . The light fixture as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the switch is a foot control switch.
3 . The light fixture as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the dimming circuit controls both of the first and second LED light sources.
4 . The light fixture as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a remote wireless communication device being at least one of:
a remote wireless control device,
an app downloaded in a “smart” control device,
a biometric data authentication software downloaded in a recognition device, or
a capacitive touch actuating device, wherein the switch is an electronic transistor switch operated by the remote wireless communication device to selectively operate both first and second upper LED light sources.
5 . The light fixture as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the LED light control circuit is disposed in the support base.
6 . The light fixture as claimed in claim 1 , the first housing further including a hub region, wherein the first LED light source is mounted in the hub region.
7 . The light fixture as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the light diffusing lens has an opaque support frame around its periphery.
8 . The light fixture as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the transmitting cover is a globe lens provided over the first LED light source.
9 . The light fixture as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the transmitting cover is a light transmitting globe secured about an outer open end of the first housing.
10 . The light fixture as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the globe is removably secured to the first housing.
11 . The light fixture as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the switch is a push-button switch having a switch operating member.
12 . The light fixture as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the light diffusing lens includes a side wall defining a translucent portion.
13 . The light fixture as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the globe is configured to direct light in the first direction.
14 . The light fixture as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the first direction is substantially a downward direction.
15 . A light fixture comprising:
a cylindrical support;
a first housing having a first LED light source configured to emit light in a first circumferential direction about the cylindrical support and traverse to the first housing;
a second housing having a second LED light source, and an outer periphery globe lens spaced from the second light source, the second light source configured to emit light in a second downward direction substantially parallel to the cylindrical support; and
an LED control circuit configured to be connected to a power source, the LED control circuit having a dimming circuit, and a switch configured to energized at least one of the first or second LED light sources.
16 . A dual LED light fixture comprising:
a first housing defining inner and outer circumferential areas;
a first LED light source mounted in the first housing in the outer circumferential area and configured to generate a first light;
a removable cover plate surrounding the outer circumferential area;
a second LED light source mounted in the inner circumferential area and configured to generate a second light; and
a circuit adapted for connection to a power source; and
a switch,
wherein the circuit is configured to activate the first LED light source when the switch is in a first state, and activate the first and second LED light sources when the switch is in a second state.
