Abstract
Systems and devices are disclosed that can be aimed by external adjustment devices/features/means without the need to open the sealed LED module. Heat from the LEDs and/or LED mounting assembly can be transferred to the outside air while the module is tilted, e.g., up to 15 degrees, or more, from vertical. Additionally, the modular structure of the inground LED light can allow for upgrade/renewal of associated electronics with only minor disassembly. Moreover, the thermal dissipation/management afforded by the designs of embodiments can allow for an increase of the LED useful service life. The sealing of the inground light unit can preclude the chance of an end user (e.g., service technician) from causing the unit to leak and thereby cause premature failure.
Claims44
A lighting device comprising:
- a support module, having a light direction axis, configured and arranged to support a plurality of LEDs;
- a first housing configured and arranged to receive the support module and hold the support module in a desired orientation;
- a second housing, with a longitudinal axis, configured and arranged to receive the first housing;
- and
- a means for adjusting the support module orientation within the first housing.
