Abstract
Devices and methods for converting fluorescent light assemblies. In some embodiments, an apparatus comprises a bracket having a first end portion, a second end portion, and a central portion. The central portion is located between the first end portion and the second end portion. The first end portion includes a first socket that is configured to be electrically coupled to a first end portion of a LED light tube. The second end portion includes a second socket that is configured to be coupled to a second end portion of the LED light tube. The central portion defines a notch that is positioned such that the bracket can be moved between a first configuration and a second configuration.
Claims23
An apparatus, comprising:
- a first bracket member having a first end portion and a second end portion, the first end portion of the first bracket member including a first connector portion and a first socket, the first socket configured to be electrically coupled to a first end portion of a LED light assembly;
- and
- a second bracket member having a first end portion and a second end portion, the first end portion of the second bracket member having a second connector portion, the second connector portion configured to engage the first connector portion to movably couple the second bracket member to the first bracket member, the second end portion of the second bracket member including a second socket, the second socket configured to be coupled to a second end portion of the LED light assembly,
- the second bracket member configured to rotate relative to the first bracket member from a first position to a second position, a first longitudinal axis of the first bracket member and a second longitudinal axis of the second bracket member defining a first bracket angle when the second bracket member is in the first position, the first longitudinal axis and the second longitudinal axis defining a second bracket angle when the second bracket member-is in the second position, the second bracket angle less than the first bracket angle.
A bracket assembly, comprising:
- a first bracket member having a first end portion and a second end portion, the first end portion of the first bracket member including a first connector portion and a first socket, the first socket configured to be electrically coupled to a first end portion of a LED light assembly;
- and
- a second bracket member having a first end portion and a second end portion, the first end portion of the second bracket member having a second connector portion, the second connector portion configured to engage the first connector portion to movably couple the second bracket member to the first bracket member, the second end portion of the second bracket member including a second socket, the second socket configured to be coupled to a second end portion of the LED light assembly,
- the second bracket member configured to move relative to the first bracket member to transition the bracket assembly from a first configuration to a second configuration, a first longitudinal axis of the first bracket member and a second longitudinal axis of the second bracket member defining a first bracket angle when the bracket assembly is in the first configuration, the first longitudinal axis and the second longitudinal axis defining a second bracket angle when the bracket assembly is in the second configuration, the second bracket angle different than the first bracket angle.
