Abstract
An assembly is provided herein for a lighting fixture and for retrofitting a flush mounted light fixture to be provided with solid state lighting.
Claims28
A lighting fixture comprising:
- a lighting unit including a plurality of light generating diodes, a driver configured to convert incoming alternating current power to direct current power for said plurality of light generating diodes, and a printed circuit board, wherein said plurality of light generating diodes and said driver are located on said printed circuit board;
- a barrier sized and shaped to limit contact with said lighting unit, wherein said barrier is sufficiently light transmissive to permit light generated by said lighting unit to pass therethrough, and, wherein said barrier is spaced from said lighting unit so as to have no direct contact therewith;
- and,
- a plurality of stand offs mountingly supporting said barrier relative to said lighting unit in a spaced-apart relationship, wherein said printed circuit board of said lighting unit is wholly located:
- (i) within a perimeter defined by said stand offs and (ii) along a length of said stand offs.
