Abstract
A retrofit trim lighting device is provided. In example embodiments, the retrofit trim lighting device comprises a bracket comprising an opening; at least one torsion spring secured to the bracket and configured to mount the retrofit trim lighting device within a recessed housing; a retrofit housing comprising at least one light engine; and an engagement element. The engagement element is secured to the retrofit housing through the opening of the bracket such that, when so secured, the retrofit housing and the bracket are rotatable relative to one another.
Claims18
A bracket assembly comprising:
- a planar portion lying in a first plane and having a circular segment and first and second linear segments, the first and second linear segments each being aligned along a singular bracket axis, distal ends of the first and second linear segments defining opposing ends of the planar portion, the circular segment being centered on the singular bracket axis and having an exterior perimeter of a first diameter and an interior perimeter, the interior perimeter being defined by an opening having a second diameter;
- and
- a pair of torsion springs each secured adjacent respective ones of the opposing ends of the planar portion of the bracket,
- wherein:
- proximal ends of the first and second linear segments each intersect and in part define opposing sides of the exterior perimeter of the circular segment,
- distal ends of the first and second linear segments extend outwardly beyond the exterior perimeter,
- a width of each of the first and second linear segments in the first plane and transverse to the singular bracket axis is less than the both the first and second diameters, and
- an engagement element is secured to a retrofit housing through the opening of the bracket such that, when so secured, the retrofit housing and the bracket are rotatable relative to one another.
